Keeping MagicJack running in background

[carter88]

It seems that if I run and use magicjack, then use another computer program or walk away from my computer, I have to re-start the magicjack program. Is there a way to always keep it running so it does not exit out itself when not in use? Thanks in advance.

I don't think it can be done , given the program that they have.

I would be more comfortable to just have a gadget attached to the Internet and drop the whole computer, maybe will cost more but I am sure people would be interested

It's possible that your PC went to "sleep" and upon waking up, it had issue of waking up MJ device?

It's recommended that you set your PC's Power Management setting to "Always ON". Other settings (Standby, Sleep, Hibernation, etc) seem to have negative effect on some PC hardware, USB devices. Of course YMMV

No, my monitor, hard disk and system standby are all set to "never" and my hibernation mode is also off.

carter88,

You may need to go into the device manager and turn off the option that allows the OS to put the Ethernet Card, and the USB hubs to sleep during periods of inactivity also.

PS - there are usually two USB hubs that will have this option on a single machine so make sure you get both of them.
