Thanks for the tip on this program. It works for the most part, at least for me. I can't get it to work when I have an incoming call.
Anybody figure out how to block the "incoming call" pop up? |

The only feedback I can give is that MagicSilence will also stop the incoming call window from popping up if you need a solution that will do that for you. |

If you go to their website you will see the tool is completely free and there is absolutely no benefit to me for sending anybody to it ... it's a really good tool and I think it works better than all the other block/hide/silence tools and plugins out there. Until yesterday, I had never heard of this tool or company.
I was using another tool called WinSize2 (http://winsize2.sourceforge.net/) but it was too buggy, and when I searched for other tools to resize windows, AutoSizer is the one I found.
I always answer more than one thread when I have a solution (with or without a download link) because I want people to benefit from what I found.
Hope you understand.
Thanks |
JShark - I think Joe was referring to the post before yours by redpepper for MagicSilence which has a $6.95 charge, not the tool you posted which is freeware.
Joe - if I am mistaken my apologies |

I recently tried magicblock 1.2 and it works like a charm to keep the softpad off-screen. However, when I tried to turn off computer, magicblock would not allow it without first disabling. Also when turned on computer, magicblock would not allow magicjack to load. The only way I got magicjack to load was to un-install magic block. I am using a Vista computer in a business environment and need to turn off computer at night. I have just purchased Nettalk and will install that soon. Seems better that program will not need to run thru computer. Hope I can port my MJ number to Nettalk. |

Hi,
I went to the webiste in the first post, and couldn't find where to download Magicblock.
I even tried searching for it, and it tried to send me to ebay and other purchase sites.
Can someone link me to the actual download page for magicblock?
Thank you. |

Go to system preferences than go to expose & spaces, click on spaces box at the top middle, than check the box that says enable spaces and the box that says show spaces in menu bar, than in the box that says application assignments click on the plus, when the box pops up click on the magicjack, now if you look to the right of application assignments you will see a bar that says space click on the drop-down arrow and select 2 or any other one if you already have some other spaces. Now thank God that stupid window will not show!!!
What this is doing is creating another desktop space (a second desktop) you can switch between desktops by clicking on the black square icon in the menu bar (the menu bar is the grey bar at the top) the icon will have a number in the middle of it representing the space (desktop) your on. |

|

Hey y'all, (nice way to start...)
Either I am totally missing something here, or everybody
else is overlooking something completely simple.
1. Set up a new user magic_jack in windows with admin rights.
2. Install everything MJ requires and sure, ?run it as a service.
3. Remove ALL admin rights and also remove the password.
Ctrl-Alt-Del SwitchUsers (or some hidden windows combo) will
get you right over to that MJ screen if and when you need it!!!
Otherwise it will remain hidden; and although I believe games
are a massive waste of human energy, it will also work 100%
for all of you gamers without your blood being spattered all over.
Just because MJ is set up as a different user doesn't mean that
you can't access MJ through that user profile, that's what it's
there for.
What's all of this trial and error with buggy software anyways??
And no, I haven't tried this... I think it's just plain common sense.
And I don't know why this post says MJNewbie... I had MJ for 5+
years now, and am a Sr. Systems Programmer/Analyst (I do it all). |

That just refers to your posting status in this forum. As your number of posts increase, the description changes. |

If you have had a MJ for 5+ years, you can add "MJ Inventor" to your Sr. Systems Programmer/Analyst credentials. I doubt even the estimable Dan knew of MagicJack in those days of yore.
I know, I know, it only seems that long |

You're right... it's going on 5 years but seems like eternity...
Bought mine end of May 2007 and recently it was really a treat
trying to get it to install on Windows 7 LOL -- usb driver problem
argggg...
But I was happy with the 1st one and bought two more a long
while ago... and I have changed #'s on all three of them twice
Wish I could have seen my brother's face when I spoofed that
I was calling his house from his cell phone... said he searched
all over for his phone and found it in the car too funny!!
Was going to take the SIP route and get a unix box and set up
an autodialer years ago, but now all of that automated voice
stuff is illegal.
Just started to write some software for my brother. Says he
calls in from work to his home and quite often he can't get
through. I was going to suggest he go to a powered USB,
but I don't know that that's going to solve the situation.
I thought about this solution... He calls in from work and he
gets voice mail... MJ then generates an email with his voice
attachment... my program monitors the email and sees that
he went to voicemail... my program then resets the MJ and
he is now able to call back and his phone will now ring at home.
What does anybody think about this idea?? Turn around from
not being able to call home to being able to call, maybe 5 mins? |

Before resetting the MJ, you'll need to check that he didn't let call waiting go to voicemail(, because he didn't want to disturb the current call in progress). Otherwise, MJ will reset on him mid-conversation.
Sounds like an interesting project. |

I find MagicBlock doesn't stop my popup anymore. I downloaded the latest version and run Windows 7, and even when MagicBlock is running and 'blocking' the MagicJack, the popup still comes up anytime anyone phones in or out. Not just a brief flicker like when it's working, but as if the MgicBlock wasn't there at all. |

See the thread "running magic jack as a service". No need for this anymore! |
