Will screensaver just not work with magicjack?

a friend of mine installed this and it works great for me. I have to use a corded phone or a headset for them to hear me well. Any cordless I try they say they can't hear me even with mic all the way up. Not the same issue with corded phone or headset. Anyway, I noticed that my screensaver never kicks on. Isn't that bad if you leave your puter on all the time? Is there a way to fix this?

mark40511,

The screen saver should come on when scheduled to do so. I don't have any idea why it would not. But what you can do is try minimizing the MJ Softphone and see if your screen saver kicks in under those conditions. If it does you can feel pretty sure it is related to MJ but you will still not have a cure.

Yes it is not a good idea to leave the screen active for hours and hours with the same display up. LCDs are not as bad as the old CRTs but they can take a permanent image of whatever sits up on it for long periods of time.

Considering this is the first complaint of this I have heard about it make take a little extra effort to correct it, but I would not ignore it for you displays sake.

Ummmm ...... Do what I do ...... Turn the monitor off. I've yet to have a monitor that did not have an on/of button.

I did just that. I went to power settings and turned monitor off after a few minutes of idle. Still yet, when I go to screensaver settings and set it for 20 min and apply it. It never comes on. I then go back to my screensaver settings and its turned off again. I don't know, this is only since I hooked magicjack up. It really doesn't matter. I set to turn monitor off so problem pretty much solved. Screensaver is no big deal to me anyway. Thanks for the help
