splash screen

Post by c12mec »

ok, i am new here......

can anyone tell me how to:

1. disable the splash screen "tell someone about magicjack" during program start up. this screen appears for aprox 30 sec to 1 min before the program actually loads

2. prevent the "phone" screen from popping up when a call is received without making this a service app.

3. it's not a big deal but how to get rid of the ad on the left side of the phone screen.

1. You can start magicjack.exe directly, from a shortcut with a properly crafted Target. Search this forum for details. You'll need to disable autorun for the MJ CD (so it won't try to start when you insert the device), and disable cdloader2 (so it won't try to start on reboot). When you start magicjack.exe directly, it takes less than 5 seconds to 'ready to call', but there is no check for updates, so you may want to do it the slow way occasionally, or if you have trouble.

2. You can position the softphone so it's nearly off screen, but there is no way to stop it from stealing the focus. If you need the latter, run the softphone as a different user, as a service, or on a separate computer, e.g. a thin client.
