Still can't get McAfee all the way off my computer (I guess because maybe it's damaged now and trying to protect what it has left). What if I just put another antivirus on here in addition? Under security, it says there is no antivirus detected on my computer, so in my (simple) mind, that means it should be okay, right? Even though when I tried to put the other antivirus on, it told me I needed to take McAfee off first. Under add/remove programs, when I try to remove McAfee, it simply freezes my computer and I have to "end task" manually.

Safe mode sm
Have you tried to delete program under safe mode? That is your best option right now.
Also, when you said you accessed task manager and you have 37 running, do you mean processes running? Because if you will under task manager, you have "applications, processes, performance, users, etc."
Oops, meant to ask first, what operating system do you have?
Let me know. I will be in and out of this site, so it may take me a bit to get back to you.
Going to safe mode now
Just found a site that walked me through how to try the safe mode route. Hope it works... I don't have my laptop backed up for work yet!
As for 37 task managers, that's what I meant, as if I had pushed ctrl/alt/dlt 37 times. Lots of other processes running, but 37 task managers open (that were not there before). I think the gremlins were having a party!
And I have Windows XP. Wish me luck and hopefully I'll talk to y'all tomorrow. Thanks for all your help.
Try it in safe mode...sm
Shut down the computer. As soon as you turn it back on, begin pressing the F8 key repeatedly. You should come to a black and white screen with an option of starting in safe mode. Arrow down to this option and press 'Enter'. The computer will then start in safe mode. Try it from there. Hope this helps.
Have you tried removing it in safe mode?
From a cold start, press F8 at 1-second increments until you get a DOS list of startup options. Once in safe mode, attempt to remove, then restart as you would normally and it should come up in normal mode. If you have xp, set a restore point first in case removing this program causes other programs not to work.
I didn't go into labor until 2.5 weeks later, so it didn't work. Sorry!...nm

I tried Relacor, it didn't work because I wanted it to work without
my trying to really lose weight, i.e., dieting.
My true belief is that any product will not work unless you TRY yourself. I had 20+ lb loss with Metabolife (sp?) and really felt more energy.
BUT, I truly believe if I don't really try, nothing will work to make me lose weight. Please know, I'm right there with you and wish there were a magic pill that could make the lbs just shed away.
What about mode -
increasing speed or constant speed and what does this even mean? Thx.
Probably mode of arrival (nm)

No, not me. I tried it at first, but it didn't work out.
I was in a corner of the living room for a long time. Now I have my own office.
Didn't work for them ... but ....
They were the main caregivers for my dad in his last days. They were wonderful, not only for him, but also for us. They helped him let go, and he died so peacefully. Watching how sweetly they treated him, and explained things to us and answered ANY question we had was above and beyond. We can NEVER thank those folks for all they did.
Good for you, you'll be helping someone who will need you more than you know.
Thanks - tried that one too - didn't work.
That didn't work, either.
I was hoping that would work, but it didn't for me.

Tried that, didn't work...
I'll try again, maybe it's just the site that I'm downloading from.
Didn't work .......
Thanks for responding to my question. Apparently I must be using an old version of Meditech b/c it doesn't have that RTF option 
Oh well, it didn't work...
I typed a short report in Word and tried to copy and paste into Meditech document, but it did not work
Didn't work but .. you
are so sweet! Researching it for me?? I should be doing that.
Actually I tried the help area but that didn't seem to help me either, although i'm certainly no whiz at Word!
Thanks so much!
didn't work for me
I tried doing it this way but found that I WAS working later every day and that just didn't fly with the hubby/kids. Now I do it just as if I had to go to work "outside"...get up at a specific time, shower/dress/coffee, then make sure I'm sitting at my desk by a specific time, scheduled lunch and 15 minutes breaks every 2 hours. That's the only way I get anything done but I also have a 4yo at home with me so I make sure that he has plenty of activities to do sitting at his "desk" next to me.
I did and it didn't work out well for me
but I want to say right away that I wouldn't want to deter anyone else from trying it. I tried to keep a full time job as well as a part time IC job and still homeschool my daughter. She had been in public school and we took her out for 2nd grade last year to homeschool. I used the Calvert curriculum which laid everything out for me each day, but I still found it difficult. I was worried about her having time with kids and getting out of the house sometimes, and the homeschool group we joined was just not very active. I had her in Brownies, dance, and swimming, and between trying to work full time plus, get her to and from all of her activities, and get the schooling in, it was just difficult for me. DH didn't really contribute too much other than sort of grilling me on what we got accomplished each day, so that didn't help. Also, while my daughter and I have a very close relationship (She was born when my older two kids were 16 and 13), we ended up clashing so much. She wouldn't read for me. She'd mumble the words under her breath as she read. It got to be a standoff each and every day. We just got so frustrated with each other. Plus, I would get behind on work and then have to start pushing back getting some of the schoolwork done, and then we'd get behind, and honestly it just got to be a mess.
Well, I could go on and on. I do want to say I loved having her with me each day in spite of the problems we had sometimes. We had a terrible winter in Wisconsin and it was so nice not to have to go out each day. I think it just wasn't a good fit for our family.
So, this year she is back in school but in a private, very small parochial school just 2 blocks from home. There are only 6 kids (all girls!) in her class, but they also do some things combined with the 2nd grade, which has 7 kids. She is having a great year so far, really thriving in that environment, and I kind of like that it's got a homeschool/co-op type feel with the small amount of kids and individualized attention that is possible with that.
Also, after school started, I started a run/walk program and in the last 2 months have worked up to being able to run 3 miles a few times a week. I'm not really a "me" time type of person either, but it's been nice to take a few hours a week and get out of the house and just do something by myself. I couldn't do that at all last year, partly because of homeschooling and partly because my DH is gone so much doing his own thing.
So in the end, I give so much credit to those that can work and homeschool... or heck, even those that homeschool and don't do other work besides everything we do as wives/moms. It's takes a stronger, better organized person than me to do it, that's for sure.
I did at first but it didn't work out that way...
I actually had gone to nursing school but that wasn't for me but I wanted to stay in the medical field...I just so happened to be pregnant with my first child when I was going through MT school so naturally I wanted to stay home...but I got a job in an office and worked there for almost 5 years before working at home...been at home for almost 5 years now...and my daughter, who is 2-1/2, is home with me now during the day until she starts preschool in the fall...and of course my son, who is 10, is in school...it is hard at times but it works for my family.
Didn't work nm

It didn't work out so well for me...
I was diagnosed with probable MS, had multiple issues, took that leave, doc turned the leave into permanent.
Long-term disability? DENIED.
Social Security Disability? DENIED.
Four years and multiple appeals later, I ended up going back to work. (Medically speaking, I have all the same symptoms I had back then still).
I'm working 3 hours a day now because that's all I can do.
Personally, I would recommend scaling your hours back first.
Get a lawyer to file your FIRST SSDI or LTD claim.
Be very choosey about your doctors.
didn't work out for me
I am so sorry to hear about your medical problems. I work as an IC. I can't work very long at a time either. Sometimes 2-3 hours others less. I rest and then work some more. Fortunately I have contracted docs and they are the only ones I do so they are waiting for me to finish. I did get SS disability finally with a lawyer, but went off that when I was 65 and that is why I am working now. I do not make much but it is better than nothing. Praying for all of you who are struggling.
LMAO - she's really going into insanity mode on this one!
Tell me, now Ms. Mensa.
My uncle is a mensa member and is chief of staff at a large hospital where he was an ER physician for years, moved up to being department head and then ultimately his current position.
You, the genius you are, are an MT.
You're full of it.
"Overtype mode" in Word...
What the heck do I keep hitting on my keyboard to throw Word into "overtype mode"? I then have to go in and "uncheck" the overtype mode box. Whatever I'm inadvertantly hitting, it happens quite a lot. Guess I should slow down. It's so annoying. If I knew what it was, I could remap the keyboard to avoid this. Any ideas? TIA!!
What would you be doing today if you didn't have to work?
I'd be sitting outside in the sunshine reading a book and watching the kids play in the kiddie pool. Hmm, sounds good to me. I wonder how fast I can get this work done. oi!
By the way, the X tip didn't work!! What a surprise!!
Thanks for trying, though!
But think about it. What does "if it didn't work out" mean? SM
That she screwed up so many reports while trying to take care of little kids?
There's more to this scenario than just the MT and what she wants. Patient care is involved. I repeat...would YOU want your medical reports transcribed by someone who was so distracted?
I don't work for MQ. I got out of there after one week because I didn't like them.
I rarely whine, unless I'm PMSing. (Which I'm not.) I just think you're being rather harsh. I ignore the MQ posts because it doesn't pertain to me. I can do that. I can rise above it. Yes, I do think this board has been swallowed up with negativity lately. And I'm tired of it, too. There are very few positive posts, so those posts are the ones I focus on.
You can't sweepingly brush everyone into one pot. You can't call everyone whiners and losers without getting some backlash. For that matter, take your proactive messages to a blog. I'm really tired of your attitude. Life is not cut and dry or black and white. It's not all or nothing. Most people can't just quit a job, move to another town, or just walk away from a situation. It's more complicated than that. That's where you're being judgmental.
DANG, didn't work

For some reason, it didn't work....sm

Hope you didn't have to work all day
No work for me today. I was able to enjoy another day off. Back to the old grind tomorrow though not may patients so it'll be a nice slow day for me.
What email? I work there and didn't get one.
Thanks. I guess it is just goes to R.B. (I'm still in Exp. Scribe mode where you have to hand-

Make sure you don't have it in express or economy mode.
Is it faint all over consistently or is it uneven? If it's consistently faint, go to your Start Menu, Control Panel, Printers and Faxes, right click on Dell Printer 720, Properties, General, Printing Preferences, and make sure Quality/Speed isn't set on Quick Print. If that doesn't fix it, post again and we'll try something else. You may have to put in a new cartridge.
If printer in typing mode, then I should not have any trouble
seeing the letters- the words on the page can be at 120, so big 1 line does not fit on the page; however when printing off, the words are so miniscule you can hardly read. That is the problem, can anyone help?
Does anyone edit in vertical or portrait mode?
Do you have any trouble with your mouse? I checked my graphics card and it is doable.
I didn't work for the T company, but I'd be interested
to know where you work now if you're willing to share. Thanks. I'm getting desperate here.
Worth a shot, but didn't work for me. sm
My inhouse job was outsourced when I left to work at home after 3 years doing the same account and getting rave reviews and raises for my transcription. I applied to the company handling the same account when I saw it advertised. I was told by the company my account was outsourced to that I did not have enough experience. Huh? 18 years total. 3 years on that same account.
I guess it depends if you're still working for the hospital or not. I know that at least around here, the hospitals basically black ball you if you have the nerve to leave their employ.
Hopefully the hospital you mention isn't quite as petty as mine was. They actually started sending the tapes out the day after I gave my 2 week notice and I had absolutely nothing to do but filing for the last 2 weeks. Apparently the hospital policy dictates that there is a grave danger of breach of confidentiality once the employee gives notice.
Give me a break.
Good luck. Hope it works out for you! 
Thanks anyway - It didn't work. Apparently, it might be my headphones. I'm getting new ones

Trendy. Had one for a week but didn't work out.
Maybe I could have given it more time, but I was not happy with it.
but if she didn't have any work at the first company, how is she worse off now? nm

Downloading Java didn't work
So I deleted it again like they told me to do in the beginning. Any other thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks
Yep, I had to work today, didn't get dinner started until 1:30
So just got done with dinner at 5 pm!! But just thankful to have a job at home where I got to spend the day with my daughter, rather than if I would have had to go out to work today, like some people did! Maybe someday I will get the holiday off, but this is second best!
First I'd reboot and if that didn't work run a virus scan. nm
Sorry, I got cut off and didn't realize it. I was told it was more of a way to get the work back
I was told it was more of a way to get the work back and forth. Does it actually affect the line counts?
I had the same problem with the Belkin and sometimes it didn't work at all so I got the Dynex and
That was my solution, maybe someone else has had a better experience with the Belkin than I did.
It didn't work so well for Dwight Shrute. Jim popped it. nm
