Can't Bootup with MJ connected
I cannot start up my PC with MJ connected. I get an error message each time and Windows XP will not load; I have to disconnect the MJ and the it loads phone, then reconnect MJ. Anyone had similar issues and is there a fix that anyone knows about?
Re: Can't Bootup with MJ connected
Computer/motherboard BIOSes usually have a feature to choose which devices you'll boot from, and the order it should search them. Some computers handle this better than others. You should go into the BIOS and make sure the boot sequence won't include USB devices, or they're after the hard disk.ekcopolo wrote:I cannot start up my PC with MJ connected.

You get into the BIOS by rebooting and pressing the delete key, or f2, or f12. It should say on the screen during the first few seconds which key to press.

Computer cannot boot-up while magic jack is insterted
Here is a better view on how to start the computer while the magicjack device is inserted.
First you need to reboot your computer.

After you successfully done that part, Set-up will open a new window.

After selecting "Advanced BIOS Features", it will open a new window.

I hope this will help....
