Every program I bring up is Adobe. All my desktop icons were my IT icon.
Posted By: This happened to me! on 2009-04-05
In Reply to: Vista gave me a headache yesterday - jc
But to bring one up, it was the Adobe Flashplayer. I have needed a PT job for two months and cannot apply as Vista is not compatible. Also, ExpressScribe is incompatible with Vista so I could not take the tests. OMG, I paid 1600.00 for this (my first laptop Dell 1330 XPS) on 2/19 and have already had to have a system recovery. Now, nothing will upload and I am told my hard drive has the Conficker virus embedded in it; I am waiting for a new hard drive as I type this.
This totally sucks. Vista has rendered my computer useless. Dell does not sell XP anymore and even if I could get XP, it would not work in this particular computer. Dell is being very unreasonable, stating that even though it has been just over 30 days, I am stuck with this Vista and just "deal with it."
I wanted this to be the last computer I ever bought. Now, it appears not to be true.

Desktop Icons
go to your desktop and right click, hit new, hit shortcut, and then browse for your page.
how to move desktop icons so .
they won't return to original positions. I know there is something to uncheck, somewhere, can't find it. Probably am asking at wrong board. Thank you for any help.
Setting up icons on desktop
…I have a page that I want to appear as an incon. How to do? Thanks.
I went to desktop icon for both DRUG BOOK and STEDMANS. Clicked
How old are your drug book and stedman's? (I bought mine about 6 years ago now). I hate to not be able to use them because I have added so much to them through the years. ugh.
Yes... I already have Adobe
but when I tried to install it that way it said not enough memory on my computer! Yikes! So I'll stick to using it this way. Thanks, though :)
Becky is right. You can download the Adobe Acrobat PDF
version of most forms from the IRS.gov website for free. No need to buy anything or pay anyone.
How do you fill out forms in Adobe Reader 8.
I am referring an MT to a company I work for and to get the referral bonus I have to fill out this form in Adobe Reader and E-mail it to HR. Well, I don't know how to do that. One friend said to copy it in Word and fill it out that way. It won't let me do that.

What are the flashing icons beside the job postings on the Job Seeker's Board? Are they intended to indicate that the jobs have been filled or still open? Thank you. |

I didn't use ANY icons. LOL

I have lost my icons... Help!
I have missplaced all of my icons on desktop. I would like to have those and use instead of having to use start and pick them up from there. Can anyone tell me, step by step, how to retrieve those. Thanks a lot!
ICONS DISAPPEARED
I'm sorry, I see that there are postings already for this. As you can see, it's driving me crazy. Thanks
Or is it that brew your 2 icons are clicking??
Just kidding. I thought at first you were trying to say a beer wouldn't hurt. Yep, popcorn can liven up the looooooong evenings once in awhile, I know where you're coming from.
icons/tool tray on side of screen
Can't move them back to the bottom where they were, inadvertently moved them when resizing screens. How do I get them back on the bottom? TIA
Why do some posts have yellow icons by the left side?
How do I put the goggle icon on
my taskbar so I can just hit it and bring up goggle when I am in a report?

I LOVE your little icon thingy!
As usual, I am contributing nothing to the conversation, but had to thank you for the smile.
Can you see the Icon in system tray..
next to your clock (right bottom corner)? Otherwise, you just installed it. Go to programs menu and run it first.
Yes, the icon is in the systems tray. nm

It happens when the thread has been read over 200 times.
Icon in rt lower screen, by your clock....
Looks like a keyboard and screen, very tiny, set mouse over it and it should say safely remove hardware -- click on it, and it will tell you what peripherals need to be clicked on before removing it. If your peripheral is a USB and it has been installed before -- no, I don't turn my machine off UNLESS, I need to for it to be recognized -- I have an external hard drive that I have to do that with.
Hope this helps
The icon in her posts has the symbol & color

New icon shows you what post your on. On new threads you will see a hand
with italicized print on the post you have viewed. This feature is available on all new threads, but may not appear on old posts. We hope this new feature is helpful to you. 
Are you turning the volume using the home typist icon
or your regular volume control icon on the tool bar?
I have had that problem with some whispering dictators, so I mute the program itself just for that dictator.
It's a shame if you can't use it. I get a real rhythm going and my day just flies. I don't think I can type without it now.
Click on the Preferences icon, last one, and change Pause

Go to the "My Computer" icon or Windows Explorer (sm)
And click on the C: drive. Should be a folder named InstText. Inside that is a Glossary folder. Either copy the whole folder or go inside and copy the glossaries you want, then copy to your flash drive. Then install Instant Text to the new computer, attach the flash drive and copy the glossary files to C:/InstText on the new computer.
On your start up icon tray (right lower corner) there is
an icon that looks like a green arrow pointing down. If you click once on that, your transnet status box pops back up.
Easy. Just click on the keyboard icon with the lightening bolt and a job is yours.

Thanks Administrator for putting the MQ icon by the recently posted msgs!
Just as I suggested/requested. This really does make this board a lot more manageable.
You turned tracking on. Double-click the TRK icon down on the status bar.

There is an upload hanheld icon on the tool bar of the Olympus software.
from the unit to the computer, then the file can be dragged and dropped. Good luck!
Go do Dell.com and click on laptops. To the far right is an icon that says "looking for Windows
If you click on that, they offer computers that have XP on them already. I have not checked into this, but the prices listed are the same as for Vista computers. You might check it out, and let us know if it is legitimate. Good luck.

PRD is a DOS program. I don't think it work with Word, a Window's program.

It will count everything if you go in the settings and program it to. Good program!
Sylcount is an awesome and accurate counting program also. That will count everything if you "tell it to".

You can use Shorthand in ANY program, it works outside your program
I have never found a platform it did not work with and I have worked on several different versions of Meditech. Just start using it.

Can you save your files to your desktop until this is fixed possibly?
The same way you do with a desktop. It
depends on the type of connection you have/need on your pedal. If you use a USB it is simple, just plug into a USB port, if you need a game or serial port then you have to get an adapter and then you still plug into a USB port.
New Desktop
If under 1000 dollars is true, I would skip the used/refurbs and go directly to Costco. You or your friend must be a member but they have a system with a TERRABYTE Of memory. You cant go wrong with that much system. It is 600.00 without a monitor and you can get a compatible monitor for 100 or 200 these days.
Right click on your desktop (sm)
and select Arrange Icons and uncheck Auto Arrange.
A laptop is really no different than a desktop and whatever
you need on your desktop to work, you want on your laptop. More and more laptops aren't coming with a dial-up modem and I would want that if traveling so that you have another option for connection. Depending on how/where you travel you may never need it, but I think you always need several options for connecting. I have used a laptop only for 5 years. I do use an external keyboard, but it isn't wireless. I don't know if computers have the ability to have something built-in for a wireless keyboard and/or mouse, but if not you have to have to connect something to your computer and that will just be another piece of equipment to have to keep you with.
There are a lot of companies who advertise "internet based," but that doesn't mean necessarily that you can just download dictation and work off-line. Many companies want you to type live into their system, so if you are going to be looking for a new position you need to be sure about the details.
Some companies require you to use their equipment, so traveling wouldn't work well with something like that. If you are able to use your own equipment if you had a laptop already they could load your laptop to start with.
Then seriously, save it to your desktop. That's it.

I have an HP laptop and a desktop....sm...
I've had the laptop since January 2007 and the desktop since December 2005. I have been pleased with both. Tech support is from India but make sure you tell them you use your computer for business purposes and you'll get someone who speaks very good English. Otherwise, you'll be repeatedly saying, "Scuse me. Could you repeat that?"
My DH has two HP laptops and has been pleased. Then again, my DD and her father, my ex-husband, both have Dell laptops and have been pleased. They don't run theirs as much as I run mine though with several programs running at one time.
Get Windows XP Pro. Don't go with Vista. There are still some compatibity issues with MT software.

Laptop vs. desktop - I don't get it
The size of the computer shouldn't matter. It's probably the "wireless" that concerns them (though if a VPN is used and/or you have very good security software it shouldn't matter). Just plug in like you do at home and you should be able to connect.
Thanks, for that on my desktop, now where is autofill?
It says I can fill in by autofill but I see nothing like that on the top. Sorry for being such a duh type person but am struggling along today. Thanks so much!
