I've read that SP3 can be problematic.

You may have gotten it back from the recycle bin, but system restore does not restore documents.

About system restore, sorry about that
nm
I wonder if you can use System Restore
to recover that document. That worked for me once.
Have you tried doing a system restore?
.
You can restore your system, but I'm not sure if that will do it (sm)
Could it be in your recycle bin? If you see anything in there that could be it, right click and restore. If that doesn't help, you can restore your whole system back to a certain date. I have done this before when I got a virus I couldn't delete. Start, Run, msconfig <enter>, launch system restore. You will be given the chance to pick a date to restore back to.
do you have system restore?
If you use/have system restore set up, you can go back to the date prior to this problem, and things should go right back to normal....read about system restore on your system in the HELP (F1) area
System Restore
Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Restore.
You can also restore your system...
Go to Start, then All Programs, then Accessories, System Tools, then pick SYSTEM RESTORE.
Pick a date you're positive was before the virus was contracted, and restore to that date.
BTW, poster above about the malwarebytes site is correct...It works, and it's also pretty cool to watch it run and "quarantine" the viruses. My computer had 67 of them at one time, unbeknownst to me.
Good luck!!!
All hail System Restore! (sm)
The DSL went out in my complex the other day, and when it was restored, nothing I could do could restore connection on my work computer. The manager brought his laptop over and proved the connection was fine. My tech-savvy daughter and I checked and rechecked everything, then laughed when the Hardware Lord came home and rechecked all the same things we had tried.
Finally she reminded me about System Restore; I restored to the previous day, and all was well.
Don't know about System Restore on Windows XP systems? Go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Restore and make sure yours is turned on and sufficient memory allocated. In addition to the automatic restore points WinXP schedules, make certain you create a restore point before you change any significant settings on your system or install or uninstall software. Note that it only restores settings, not deleted files or programs.
There are some forms of Spyware which hide out in system restore. The only way to get rid of them is to turn it off and erase all previous restore points.
Thought I'd post this as this feature has saved me a lot of grief on several occasions.
I would try a system restore to before you started...sm
That should clear up any problems you've had since then. You can find it in your control panel, performance and maintenance and then system, where you'll find system restore. Choose a date to before you started work there. Or you can buy the programs out there that fixes problems like this, like Fix-It Ultimate 6. I know they have them at Walmart for $20. Good luck!
My system restore is not working so I cannot do this..nm

If I am right I did not "set up" my system restore...sm
Your system restore as I understand it automatically makes its own restore dates. You can make your own restore dates also. I have not done any set up regarding system restore and have used it several times in the past. Check it out on your pc with any luck you may be able to use it...Good Luck...
do a system restore. see if that helps. nm

I just did a system restore and that seems to have helped. nm

Welcome! System restore is a lifesaver
I have used it many times. I always check for simpler solutions, but if there are none, this does just what it says and at least allows you to rule out certain things.
System restore won't work for this.
The icon on the toolbar is controlled by the normal.dot file and system restore does not affect that file. You can take the icon off the toolbar by holding down on the Alt key and dragging the button down to the document window with your mouse. You can also open the customize dialog box on the tools menu and drag it off that way.
Do you have a system restore option
on your computer where you can set it to how it was working on a past date?
Easy Fix...System Restore
I was able to ditch the XP Antivirus 2009 bug by rebooting, going back into Windows in safe mode, then doing a system restore to a couple of days prior (click Start, Help and Support, type in "system restore" and you'll get the system restore wizard). Pesky bug hit me earlier this week when I decided to work a late-nighter and didn't have the time or stamina for marathon troubleshooting!
find System Restore on your computer.....sm
You need to find System Restore on your computer. Go to START, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, then click on System Restore and set it to a date when everything was working just fine and dandy for you (like a couple of days ago or so) and then everything should come up nice....the way it used to be for you. 
system restore or auto recovery does not--sm
restore save documents as they were previous to being saved. Once they are saved, that is it. System restore will not bring it back.
did you try to do a system restore? anytime i find myself sm
in a situation like yours, i always try system restore to an earlier date to fix the screw up i did. no need to uninstall programs that way either. so much easier. i agree with the other poster, sometimes i get so furious with IT that i hang up on them and fix it myself!! if working on the computer is your income, you owe it to yourself to learn how they work so you can fix minor problems or be best friends with an IT or repair person you can call 24/7 without a huge price.
Restore System or lower resolution did it for me sm
I got a new monitor that wouldn't work in Word so I set it to the old, smaller resolution and it works in Word just fine now. On another computer Restore System fixes absolutely everything, saves my life over and over again!
Only if you have a backup of your normal.dot file. System Restore will not

lost files. I worship the god of system restore.
That said, once a week i copy everything I value onto CD and make 2 copies. One goes to my parents house and one I keep on hand. My parents live 30 miles away and I consider that a small price to pay for peace of mind. I had a major computer malfunction once and I was down for almost 3 weeks. It was a nightmare. I have since learned...back up, back up, back up. Good luck with retrieving or finding your lost informaiton.
Windows 2000 is the same. Accessories, system restore. nm

System Restore does not affect documents, only program files.

You might have to do a system restore to the time before she sent file. Vista is still too buggy

System restore does not affect documents, only program files.
You will not lose any documents you've created. Restore does nothing to the normal.dot or other templates.
You can also access system restore thru Help and Support in Start menu. nm.

Windows 2003?Under Accessories, System Tools, Restore (nm)

recommend adware, free, but if you can do a system RESTORE, it is much, much easier than battling it
i used to spend days trying to get crap off my computer. learned to back up to system restore from a few days prior to when i noticed everything happening and works like magic!! so much of an easier solution. but several tech support have told me adware and i run it weekly.
Temp files disappear when you shut down Word. System restore does not recover documents .

Do not uninstall it
I bought my software and pedal, currently on my second pedal. However, I have asked for mine to be rest as I have burned up 4 top of the line computers in the past year due to this and that and the friendly too much time on your hands, here's my new gift to eat your system before the virus programs are updated. I will not repay for a license I already paid for and have the receipt due to have to reset up another computer due to a crash so I can work. I replace my pedals through them as needed but to keep paying for the same program you already paid for with no updates or changes at all is insane when a computer dies and you have to start from scratch. It should be like anything else, once you buy it, have the CD, then you have it for personal use. Do like other programs do, make it so you cannot burn the CDs but you can use it personally whenver you need to redo a puter or start from scratch after a major crash.
Yep, uninstall it - nm

Is it too late to uninstall it from my PC?
Perhaps you could do an uninstall/reinstall of SH ??
:) Hope you get it fixed.
Download ES and see. If not, you can always Uninstall it. nm

Think I will uninstall and reinstall

Uninstall software
She could do a system restore but she would have to backup any work she has done since then and then reload that work. I personally have not had good luck with the system restore. I have tried it before when I had software issues after an update and it didn't restore correctly. It just made the mess bigger to the point that I had to reformat hard drive and reinstall everything to fix it. It sounds like she is going to have a tech take a look at it.

if you determined you do have a sound card, uninstall express scribe and reinstall. sm
i have had some computer issues recently and it seemed there were some quirks with downloading it. i had to reinstall to get mine functioning although i wasn't getting the exact same response as you, but issues. i would also update your drivers if you do have a sound card before buying another one. right click my computer icon, hit properties, hardware tab, device manager, look under sound, video, and game controllers and you will see a sound card there if you have one. also notice if there are any yellow triangles or anything as those signal a conflict. email me if you need to.
that's right but first you have to set it to backup so that you can restore

Orator Express problems. Need restore instruction help. sm
They are off. I had to purchase a new drive, but they didn't send instructions on how to get it working. Was told with phone message I can use the System Restore Disk. I have some of the instructions, but every time I use it without help I delete the 2nd drive. Anyone have instructions on how to do this? Thanks!
You can use the AutoCorrect Utility that comes with Word to backup and restore ... sm
or just copy your .acl file to your flash drive. The name of the template with the AutoCorrect Utility macro depends on your version of Word. Word 97 is macros8.dot, Word 2000 is macros9.dot (has to be downloaded from the Microsoft site), and 2002/2003 is support.dot. You open the template and follow the instructions.
You can find your .acl file by adding an entry and searching for *.acl by the date you created the entry. You may have to check the option to search hidden files and folders and you may have to change your view in the search box to Details to see dates.
Formatted AutoCorrect entries are stored in the normal.dot. Those are entries you have added formatting such as bold or italics or multi-line entries.
Restore to a previous date. Backup files next time.
Or: in the right upper corner you have the minimize, the restore/maximize and the close button. Cl
