ok, got a CD-R for Christmas with old family photos/video on it.  How do I play it?  I put it in my CD player and it said check disk.  I put it in my Computer and nothing happened.    I found media play and pressed play but still nothing.  What am I missing?  Thanks.

I am totally new to the at home transcription profession.  I found someone to type for but when she sent me the file, .dss, it didn't play on Express Scribe.  Now, I have been on their forums and tried ALL of the suggestions and nothing worked.  Apparently it has something to do with the way the new version of ES interacts with XP or something.  So I found a DSS Player Lite at Olympus and it played the file, but ofcourse there wasn't any foot controls or speed, et cetera.  I was just wondering if there are possibly other, preferablly free or cheap, software programs that I can use to play these DSS files.  I have another person I will be transcribing for as well but I guess she uses a different file format so I am hoping that it will play with ES. I am just so frustrated and don't know what to do to get started making some money.  Can anybody help me??       

Thanks!!

bezoar.... hairball in the stomach.

bizarre...

and how about a bazaar? 

But really, you just asked a simple question.

For starters, you don't take antianxiety medications whenever you "feel the need." If you want to do that, pop a tranquilizer. And you're playing Russian Roulette with your system by trying this medication and that.

Unless somebody here has MD after their name ... they're not qualified to tell you what medications should should be taking. You need to see somebody who is properly licensed to prescribe the right meds for YOUR body. Sometimes, it takes a while to find the right physician and/or be put on the correct medications.

Now, this is not said to offend anyone, but I do not believe that anyone besides a doctor should recommend medications.

Anyone familiar with this?   My doc is dictating via internet.  It comes across on my media play and i can hear him but when i switch over to word there is no way to pause him from talking...........

I refuse to have cable (garbage) TV and have since my 11-y-o was 2.

2 of my older kids are grown and gone. I still have the 11-y-o and her 15-y-o brother at home. All 4 are underweight or borderline. Not because they don't eat because boy do they ever.

My kids also have the "can't sit still" type of personalities where they have to be moving all the time.

What is really sad is that my 11-y-o is 87 pounds, which puts her in the just below normal range and she thinks she is "fat" because society is beginning to make anyone with an ounce of body fat look "overweight." It's sick.

My poor older son is 6 foot 3 and 135 lbs. He has tried everything to GAIN weight and he has never been able to gain so much as an ounce. Of course he gets teased on the "flip side" because he's so darn skinny.

It's time society stopped obsessing.

You don't need to buy targets or even go to the trouble to cut up paper. My son, now nine years old, used to LOVE playing "Sink the Cheerios"!  I would put a few in the bowl and he'd have target practice with them.

I would also put a squirt of dish liquid (like Palmolive) in the bowl, then when he went.... he made bubbles! Woo hoo!

We also put food coloring in the bowl, a different dot of color here and there, and then when he would go... the colors would mix.

My daughter? She's a whole different story. She's 3-1/2 right now and I can't remember the last time she peed in a Pullup. But she will get away from me and go hide and poop just MINUTES after getting her off the potty from sitting there for 20 minutes while we read book after book after book waiting for her to go.

We're strange, I guess. My son? Potty trained in two weeks. (Wasn't dry overnight until about 4-1/2, so don't even think about that, guys. That's not a potty training issue, that's a small bladder and deep sleeper issue that will pass by itself.)  My daughter?  Total challenge for whom bribes like toys and candy, nifty charts, fancy undies with her name embroidered on them, special books about potty training complete with flushing sound effects.... all have had absolutely zero effect.

I have no idea what to do now.  Any ideas for the really stubborn ones besides just waiting it out and doing a ton of laundry?

I was recently approached by a local doctor and asked if I would like to type for them.  The doctor's office uses a DVI system but they did not know anything else including what equipment I would need to play the files.  I was wondering if I could purchase software that would alow me to dial into their DVI system with my computer instead of using a separate DVI machine.

Thanks,

I have a new laptop with Vista and my Express Scribe is not working.  So is there another program to play dictations with a foot pedal in Vista?  OR how do I make Express Scribe work with Vista?

Thanks for any help

I live in a suburban area.  You would think there would be no problem getting any kind of Internet service.  Other parts of my town have DSL, but not the part south of a main road where I live.  The phone company is embroiled in a dispute with the state's commerce commission about how much they can charge.  The law says they have to let competitors use their lines, but they claim that can't charge the competitors enough to make it worth their while; therefore, they just won't add anymore DSL until they can charge what they want.  They advertise their DSL like crazy, though.  When you try to actually order it, however, it's not available in your area.  Lucky for me, the cable company put in high-speed Internet or I'd be out of a job.  Dial-up just wouldn't work anymore for Medquist's platform.

If a part of your town has service like mine does (just not your part), city hall should have someone who handles the franchise.  If so, try complaining to them.
