You can use the upper right X on the Magic Jack screen and it will minimize
to the task bar in Windows 7. In Windows XP The Splash Screen goes away when
you use the X but the program stays running. It will pop open everytime you
use the phone. Poor Programing.
I have not had the choppy sound in both XP and Win7 on two different PC's
but I am using a main USB port in back and not a satellite port if that
matters.
