Not a computer guru here, but what about
trying a system restore and going back to a day before the problem happened?
I was told my a computer tech that if you have more than 1
firewall that they disable each other.
You can always have the Vista taken off a new computer,
buy XP and have it loaded on.
My new computer came with Vista too, but....
When my hard drive crashed earlier this year, we HAD to get a new computer. Of course it came with Vista. So what my commputer guy did was somehow partition (?) my hard drive and now I have both Vista and XP Pro. Eventually XP is not going to be supported any more and then for me, Vista will be a free upgrade as I already have it on my machine. My tech guy rocks!!
That might be something to consider.
Tech question for all those computer gurus out there. I have XP Pro. I have DSL but I keep getting
I don't know if there is a problem with the interface between the two or not, but it really doesn't seem to matter if I'm on the VPN or not. Even if I'm not on the net, just out of the blue I'll get that little icon in the tray that says I can't connect/or am not connected. This will happen if I'm just surfing the net without VPN, with VPN but without being on the net, or even when I just turn on the computer. Sometimes I have to reboot 10 times before I can connect. Any ideas or suggestions would be great. THANKS for your expertise in this area. :>)
Can someone tell me how to have Vista and XP on same desktop computer?
Someone said a post was on this board, but I have not found it yet. What does this process entail, please. I don't want to get rid of Vista, but have both XP and Vista running on the same computer. TIA
You're trying to download XP onto a computer that already has Vista?
The only way I know of that you can do that is to reformat your hard drive, then install XP Pro. You have to have the full version of XP Pro to do that, not the upgrade.
Windows generally doesn't let you go "backwards" with an OS that is already installed without reformatting. And if it's an OEM system (if you bought it with Vista already installed), I would advise taking it to a computer shop and having them do it. You will save yourself a LOT of frustration.
Just My Humble - but Informed - Opinion.
computer wizard question-vista
I have a laptop with vista that I purchased a few months back. Some companies are telling me its not compatable with their programs yet. Do you think I should try it first instead of downgrading to XP? Does it harm the computer if it does not work? I know of some people being told it will not work and then in the end vista was working okay with a company's platform. I know docuscribe works with it okay even though tech will tell you it doesn't. TIA
my son is a computer grad and told me not to get vista
on my new lap top. i ordered direct from Toshiba with windows XP.
It is nearly essential to be a computer tech when one works at home. Sorry. Can't help. Feel your
dd
True. I was told this by a friend who is a computer tech at a company
here in town. He was going to do it for me. No way would I try to do it myself. Luckily, I was able to buy one with XP on it from Dell.
Question. I have Windows XP now on my computer which is getting slow. I do not want Vista
so what do I do if you cannot buy XP or what is the situation with that if your computer goes and you dont want Vista.
What virus program/internet security do you use - always used Norton, but a computer tech told me

Your husband tech guys are not the bible. You have go give access for tech sm
support to get onto your computer. Just sit there and watch everything they do. If you still feel uncomfortable do not take the job.
Agree. You could be a Surgical Tech or Respiratory Therapy or a Med. Tech. nm

GURU
Well, anyone who responds to this ad has to be desperate for work - and they know by the tone of this ad exactly what kind of people they will be working for. I wouldn't respond, but I suppose some others would.
Did anyone see this on Guru?
The part that really, really bugs me is the part they put in parentheses down there. Description:
We're looking for a place to outsource our transcription to. Over seas is fine if you can deliver a quality product. We intend to wholesale your service to our physicians. We have over 1500 physicians what utilize our other services, and we want to add transcription to the mix. You would need to have the ability to handle a large load of work, have the infrastructure to deal with it, and the ability to make our service look seamless (look like we're doing the work for the physician). Finally, you must be able to deliver us a per line charge that will allow us to add a profit, and remain competitive.
Guru - did you get the one at .50/page
I have never worked thru them but am listed. Did you see the one who had a 50 page paper they wanted typed and said they "heard the going rate was $0.50/page"? LOL
THANK YOU GIDDY PC GURU!!!

Thanks giddy pc guru!
I appreciate it.
Again, don't forget - Guru gets a cut of what you earn

A lot of those Guru projects seem just plain

Maybe that's why it's posted on Guru is so he can find
offshores to do it.
I have to laugh - did anyone see this posting on Guru??
We are looking for someone that can transcribe 60, 90, or 120 minute
audio files. The transcript must be typed into microsoft word.
Compensation is as follows:
60 minutes $10.00
90 minutes $15.00
120 minutes $20.00
There will be repeat work for the right pro.
THANK YOU giddy pc guru! Your help is greatly appreciated.

Another good one on Guru today. Pay is $25 per AUDIO hour.
With a 30-minute unpaid AUDIO test file. It sounds as if somebody got behind on their work and needs people to do it for free or minimum wage. Egads! What cheapos! I did an AUDIO hour tape this past weekend and made $100 off it. I could have charged more since it was a weekend stat but I gave the guy a break.
Is it their computer? Why are they installing a firewall and autocorrect on your computer? That sm
is usually the responsibility of the transcriptionist, especially if an IC or SE. Which company?
Question about transfering computer into to another computer.. sm
I have a dumb question - Just bought a new computer and someone told me to get a flash drive to transfer all my info. But I'm assuming that ExText that I work off of and Escription will have to be downloaded again by the tech people onto my new computer. I can tranfer these can I?
Thanks
How does one find out the computer specs on my computer?
I should know this, but I just don't remember how to do this. I am hoping I have enough RAM, or whatever, to load work platform on my own computer and begin working on it, rather than paying *rent* on the company-furnished computer. Thanks so much.
A computer is a computer, whether it be laptop or desktop.
I have both and use both and I bought both of mine...most companies do not provide computers...

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone had any info on Med-Tech in Lousiana. I didn't see any good or bad in the archives. Thanks!

Hi Bobbie,
Thanks for your input. Their schedule didn't work for me anyway-they were going to hire me without even doing an interview! I hope you had better luck in whatever you chose next.

Did you like being a vet tech? I'd like
to hear more about it, if you don't mind.
oh yes, but the tech guy did all that for me.
Can't really help you much in that way, but you can get it online, I think that's what he did. It has junk mail files, suspected junk mail files, and then of course my "wanted" email file. I'm not very computer "savvy" so that's why I needed help. But it looks to me like you can just go to SpamBayes and load it. I know it has a "wizard" to load it. Good luck because this spam thing has gotten way out of hand. Should be a law against it! Maybe someone else has heard of it, maybe try the technical help board if you can't get it to work. I'm sorry that I can't help much more than that. But yes, in answer to your question, you can set up your email as you would like. Good luck, and hope this helps.
Hey, you tech MT's, help please.
I got a LinkSys router at Wal-Mart and with tech help, I got my Vista computer and other computer going at the same time; however, I unplugged the cable from the phone jack one night, as it was storming, and could not get both computers back on line after that. I actually have returned the router and doing without for now.
I would like your experiences and any help that you could give me. I have used cable router before, but not for phone line -- DSL. Thanks.
I would think the tech could do it. At my
former job they were able to switch them from Medscribe to DQS.
Must say, as former vet tech myself, that

maybe posted this on wrong board earlier:
I have a daughter vet in another state that would like me to transcribe her work. Is there is way to do this via digital and/or a call-in dictation system without going through an MTSO? Any suggestions? I'd sure love to be able to do that for her!
Need tech help, anyone!
Help! I have my expansions in Word 2003 autoaorrect, called MSO1033.acl file. I wanted to transport this file to another computer using Word 2007. I got it over to the other computer, have installed it in the proper directory, and have renamed the Word 2003 file so it is called MSO.acl, which is what Word 2007 calls it. Yet, when I open Word 2007 on the destination computer, my expansions are not there. The file is showing in the directory, verified by my last date of change before I moved it, and is more than three times the size of a normal .acl file. Can anyone tell me what boat I'm missing here? Thanks, appreciate it.
What about an x-ray tech? Seems like there
MT becoming RAD TECH
I have heard MTs switching over to nursing, coding/billing, but has anyone else considered training for Radiology Technology. I was considering this but found out the course work is very intense for 2-3 years while working in the hospital as an intern. Can't do it now but still considering it in the future. I hear the demand is only growing in this field and can't see it being outsourced.

Any info on these companies would be appreciate-I haven't found very much yet. Thanks!

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has worked for any of these companies. I'm down to making my final choice. Thanks!

What's the tech number?
What's the tech number?
Tech support will help you set up a
shortcut on your desktop to access your ACO (shortcut) file if you ask them.
Re: tech support
I don't know if it gets back to our supervisors, but I wish it would get back to theirs! What I do now is tell the "real winner" support person that I have to hang up suddenly. Then, I call right back. I suddenly get a different one who is a whiz and very helpful. It's worth the hang-up and call back unless you have to wait 45 minutes for the next "helpful tech." ;-)
