If you go to Start, Control Panel and
Sounds you can change things under the Sounds tab and play around with it. Don't know which listing you would have to uncheck as I don't know if that is a popup window or what, but it is a place to start.
Or go to start, control panel, display,

Look in your control panel for "foot pedal" if you - sm
have XP and see how it is set up.
Control Panel-
Security Center
Check in Control Panel>
Default Programs and see about file associations, or what your mail program thinks is the default connection. There also might be a place in WinZip to designate a connection, but I don't know for sure because I don't use that program.
Hope you find it, let us know!

Check control panel?
Look under control panel/printers and faxes and make sure the printer didn't get changed, or maybe just click on it again.
Also, make sure all the cables on back of printer and computer are tight.
EXText: ESP control panel?
I am new to this whole "platform" business (used to type strictly from tapes or from dictaphone system tank in hospital) and noticed under Tools the ESP control panel (or something like that). Is this an expander? How does it work?
Thank you
Try Folder Options in Control Panel.
Go to the View tab and then click Show hidden files and folders. I hope this works.
Control Panel - Display - Appearance
If you have Windows XP, you will have to click on "Advanced" at the bottom right of the screen.
Then click in the space where it says "Window Text." Choose the color you want, click "Okay," then click "Apply."
That should do it!
settings, control panel, keyboard sm
hardware. make sure your keyboard is plugged in and you should be able to select it.
Same thing happened to me.....go to settings, control panel, (SM)
then go into something called Intel Extreme Graphics, and then rotation. Set it back to normal. This should work.

Control Panel, Printers & Other Hardware, View installed
printers or fax printer, making sure the printer you are using has a "check mark" next to it. Right click on the printer that has a check next to it (if there are more than 1 listed), click on Properties. Under General, click on Print Test Page. If there is an error, it usually will list the problem and and offer you the option to use Repair. Additionally, you may want to check your connections to be sure they are secure.
Foot pedal control/knee control? (sm)
My sewing machine has a knee control built into the side of the cabinet and I find this very comfortable. I would like to somehow do the same with foot pedal I use for transcription. Can figure out how to mount it, but having trouble adjusting it so the 3 pedals are not an issue. ANyone done this or have any input?
Foot pedal control/knee control
Though I have not had experience with this type of modification, I have repaired numerous footpedals and have some information that may be helpful. Generally, the footpedal is comprised of the primary circuit board, the wiring to the computer, and the three switches for play, rewind, and fast forward. These switches are easily removed from the pedal with a screwdriver. With basic soldering, you can lengthen the wiring to each switch, or even replace them with different switches you can get at a local electronics store. With a little bit of creative engineering, you could mount some knee -controllable switches that could control the footpedal.

Does anyone use a game port pedal and use
I am considering employment with a company that uses a pedal for the audio that may require a sound card be installed on my PC. I currently use a USB wav pedal to receive dictation that are dss files, wav, etc. Does anyone know if I can install the sound card and still use the USB wav pedal or would that take a lot of tinkering back and forth. I am considering Zylomed, and I think they use MT World. Would anyone be able to offer any information regarding this type of situation? Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
You can buy just the Start/Stop software w/o the pedal if you're able to use your pedal as a VEC

Start Stop pedal best
As far as I am concerned, Start Stop is the Cadillac of pedals. Costs a little more, but worth every penny of it.

Start Stop pedal
You may be on a platform that will not work with Start Stop, such as Dictaphone. Best way to get an answer, however, is to call the company. I have had a Start Stop pedal for 6 years and have always found them to be very helpful and their tech people usually get back to you within a day. Their 800# is (866) 254-0714 or you can go to their web site and E-mail them. http://www.startstop.com/home.asp Good luck.
Start/Stop pedal and USB hub
I'm having problems getting my Start/Stop pedal for EMDAT to work when it is plugged into the USB hub. It doesn't seem to recognize it correctly unless it is plugged directly into the computer. Any ideas? Thanks!
Stop-Start Foot pedal
I have a stop-start foot pedal and using Express scribe. When I take my foot off the pedal I would like it to just rewind a little bit instead of constantly having to hit the rewind pedal. Do anyone know the procedure/technique to get this to work???
I always ask if we can start out with my pedal and see if it works, then offer to get a new one if

Start/Stop foot pedal
I want to know if anyone knows how to use the Start/Stop foot pedal with EMDAT (Inscribe). I think I may have an older moderl. Not sure. Thanks.
Start/Stop foot pedal
I have the same problem, probably because I have an older model with no switch on the bottom.

Emdat Start/Stop pedal trouble, Help!
I can't get my start/stop pedal to work right with Emdat. Anyone else have trouble getting their pedal to work right? It plays a little and then keeps starting over and quits. Help!
I hate shoes to start with, but I can't feel the foot pedal
if I have on shoes. In the summer I'm usually barefoot, in the cooler months I have on socks.
If you use a Start-Stop foot pedal, please SM - I have a problem/question
I use a Start-Stop foot pedal with a PS/2 connector for an Emdat account. I connect a PS/2 ergonomic keyboard to it, plug into the PC, and everything works beautifully.
The problem I have is this setup doesn't work using my laptop. The Start-Stop tech person told me the PS/2 foot pedal used with a USB adapter isn't compatible with the laptop. He said I need a USB-port Start-Stop foot pedal. He also said I would need to use the laptop keyboard since an external USB-port keyboard also isn't compatible with the Start-Stop foot pedal when used with a laptop. (I knew that my old PS/2 keyboard wouldn't work with the laptop and have already bought an MS 4000).
I really looked forward to getting my laptop set up so I could be more portable with my work, but after years of using an ergo keyboard there's just no way I would be productive using the laptop keyboard (not to mention the strain on my shoulders/wrists/hands).
So, here's my question.....Is there really no way to use a Start-Stop 3-pedal unit with USB connector on a laptop and at the same time use an external USB-port keyboard?
Any help is truly, truly appreciated.

Contact Start/Stop at their website and describe your pedal and ask them. They were very helpful

Start Stop foot pedal pre-programmed for EMDAT problems
I just got my foot pedal but have no idea how to get it to work with EMDAT Inscribe; much to my dismay a manual was not included with the pedal. Obviously, even though it was pre-programmed to work with EMDAT, I can't just plug it in and get to work. UGH!
Can anyone help me here. I'm a real computer dummy so I need to be walked through the steps as though I were a kid. BTW, my hot keys are F7 Play, F6 rewind, and F4 RR.
TIA
how many ports do you have and
which one did you plug it into?
I use Control N to end a job - Control T is for when viewing an old report
Don't know what you are talking about
I know the USB ports but I need a converter.nm

Serial ports
I have a dino of a computer tower but I keep it because it has all the old stuff on and just keep adding newer things to it. Someday it will exploded lol. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the Dynex adapter!
There were not enough USB ports on my laptop so I
first ordered a port replicator on line but before it arrived I went to town and talked to a man at a computer fixing store and he suggested I get (I forget what it's called) a USB spliter-type thing that you plug into one USB port and you get 4 USB ports from it (3 more actually). That worked out better than the port replicator did.
USB ports and InScribe
Thanks. That helps so much. I'm really leaning this way. Did you buy direct from Dell or from a dealer? I guess as scribes we need to learn computer lingo as well. I really don't know what people are talking about when they talk about 9-pins and USBs and such. I use InScribe and Express Scribe. You do believe the pedal I'm using now will still be fine? Anyone with the same situation, but using Vista instead of XP? Everything I read seems to say that XP is so much better, but maybe they are just the ones being vocal. I do know that a lot of people do NOT like Vista.
yep, control, control, control... that's the main

Look at what you're using now as far as ports for work. sm
You'll need to get a laptop that has the same kinds of ports. If you're using all USB, you're in luck because most new computers only have USB. If you're using a serial foot pedal, consider buying an model just off lease that has that port. There has been such a problem where I work because they don't have USB capabilities in their software yet and so their serial foot pedal does not work with newer laptops even with adapters from serial to USB.
I just bought off lease a Dell and made sure it had all the ports I wanted, including a parallel port because that's the foot pedal I have. The laptop was built in 2002, has over 1 gig of RAM, all the updates for Windows XP and it works just fine for me.
My first computer did not have enought USB ports to go around..sm
My foot pedal is an IN-BMG.
I plugged my foot pedal into the joy stick controller port on the back of my tower as it was the only 15-pin port available. Then, when I upgraded to a newer computer with more USB ports, I went to Radio Shack and bought a USB/15-pin adapter. USB plugs into the tower, the other end plugs into my foot pedal and voila!! the pedal works. Hope this helps.
