MagiJack shows up as CD-ROM & as a Standard Disk Drive

I hope someone can answer this. The MagicJack is working fine, but on my Laptop it shows up as a CD-ROM Drive and Standard Disk Drive. I wouldn't have noticed this, except that whenever I start (plug in) MagicJack, Any DVD reads the MagicJack Drive. Is there any way I can fix this so that it shows up properly?

That is perfectly normal. On WinXP, you should get:
1.) MAGICJACK (E) YMAX MagicJack USB Device (CDROM icon and shows up in DEVICE Manager as CDROM)
2.) Phone (F) YMAX MagicJack USB Device (Hard drive icon and shows up in Device Manager as hard drive)

Drive letters may vary, but yours should be somewhat similar. Can you tell AnyDVD to ignore the drive letter(s) that MagicJack uses?

Under Vista Ultimate I get:

1. magicjack (Vista only) (I: ) [this item has the MagicJack icon]

2. CD Drive (J: ) [this item has the standard CD Drive icon]

Yes, you can configure AnyDVD to ignore the MJ drives.
