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.
Every program I bring up is Adobe. All my desktop icons were my IT icon.
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.
Flashing Icons

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?
There is a setting
to fix that and I can't remember what it is. But I complained about it and our IT guys told me how to fix it. There is something that you have to "allow" to get it to work.
SETTING UP A QA PROGRAM
Need some ideas/suggestions for setting up a very tight QA program. I have no idea where to start with this one. Any help is appreciated.
As an IC you should be setting your OWN rates
And then you inform the clients of the increase--period. You don't "ask" for an increase. That would make you an employee.
I have no idea, but there is a way of setting - sm
in up in WP5.1 so it backs up your work every few minutes, and is saves a back up copy as well. Also if you have to shut down then you just go to your backup folder (you make one up) and there it is under a different name, and you bring that up and resave it and you generally have lost very little work. Email me if you want and I will dig out the instructions on how to set up the backup feature. The problem I have is sometimes I hit something, no idea which 2 keys and I delete my whole report, so the backup feature for me is a lifesaver. Thouhg I have learned the hard way not to save the report after I delete by accident, otherwise the only thing that is in the backup file is a blank file. Luckily I don't make a habit of doing that!
Aha. So it is a setting they could change.
I think they just haven't noticed or haven't had time to do it, but it's good to know it is possible to have it not spellcheck demographics. There is no reason for it since they wouldn't want us to change anything in the demographics.
Thanks.
You are setting yourself up to most likely fail...
if you try to start an MT business right out of school. Unfortunately, people take the college courses for MT just to find out that most employers do require experience. There are companies that do hire newbies, but one must have attended an "approved" school. It's not too late for you though. I see you as having 3 options:
1. You attend an "approved" MT course/start over with schooling.
2. You apply everywhere, check your newspaper, keep looking.
3. You attempt to start up your own business and learn as you go, although I highly don't recommend this route.
Good luck!
Setting up Lanier LX-219?
I'm at a loss - I cannot find a manual anywere about how to set up my Lanier LX-219 equipment. I have the terminal block, module and the unit. two phone plugs on the grey box, one phone plug on the back of the unit. Does anyone know where I can find a manual on how to set up the equipment? Thanks in advance
I am in our bedroom now, but am setting up - sm
an area in our dining room slowly. Will still work in the BR (I think) during the day; but will move out to the DR when DH wants to go to bed so my typing does not keep him up. That has been a running battle for years and finally bought a new CPU as a backup and now am loading all my programs, etc. which I don't have the time to do of course. Just need to finish doing that and get a new monitor as I am using an ancient one right now that is probably around 12 years old now, huge bugger. If I like it out there more I may work out there during the day too.
Are you setting your own rate?
If so, find out what others in your area are charging. If you think you should be paid more because you're doing pathology, then charge more.
If you're being offered a rate, then do you consider it to be enough? No one else can really answer those questions but you.
Setting up your own accounts
I've been doing some research on here and checking out various links and such regarding setting up my own accounts but am finding myself more confused than ever! I've noticed some talking about things like mydocsonline, bytescribe, wav player, Olympus, etc., but how exactly do these work? I'm assuming there is a system in their office or on their end and then I use some sort of system or connect with that to get jobs? How does this all work?
I've been looking into this and trying to understand how it works, as when I recently went to the ENT office they asked if might be looking for some work . I didn't feel comfortable talking about it in depth because of my lack of understanding. They are a mid-sized practice with 2 offices and probably less than 10 physicians. Any info or advice anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to email me also if you'd like.
You probably have your setting defaulted sm
to justify - it's "blocking" your text so it all looks like one neat block. It removes or adds spacing to spread it just so. Turn it off and you can eliminate the problem you're having.

Help with setting new entry in VPN
I need some expertise... I have VPN for a company on desktop set up, need to create a new entry for another company.. .is that possible? I have the file in the right folder (PCF or something close to that file) and did the wizard, but it says no valid ID when I know it is... what am I doing wrong?
desktop
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.
Beats my clinical setting..
I'm shut off in a 12 X 12 room, hearing loud voices outside my door, file clerks running around hunting charts and griping every minute, nurses flitting about hunting "stuff", the office manager laughing loudly outside my door while she flirts with the doctors, and my WeatherBug is calling for the heat index of 115 for my area! I'll trade with YOU!
Setting the record straight
You purchased an IN-155 foot pedal for compatiblility with DVI VoiceWav. (We have sold nearly 1,000 of these with zero returns.)
When you called our toll free 800 number for support we told you that the problem was not the pedal and was either the software you were using or your computer. Reluctantly, we agreed to do an exchange for you. (FYI, when your first pedal came back to us it worked absolutely perfectly and still does. In fact it is plugged into the same computer I am typing on at this moment. It has been tested daily since it came back with no problems).
Now, you voice incorrect information on MTStars. Your problem is in your computer.
Please feel free to call us yet again if this is not clear to you.

Setting backspace for pedal
I have an older transcriber (DAC Model DA-125) and have had it for quite some time now. I moved my office over the weekend and had to unplug the machine. Well, my backspace has reset to practically nothing and I can't find my manual on how to reprogram the backspace. Is there anyone else out there using this phone and if so, how to do reprogram it for the backspace length?
Thanks so much for your help.

Setting up 2 computers with 1 monitor - Need help!
I will be starting a second job next week and need to use that companies computer. I know I need a syslink router to enable them both to use our cable modem, but I know there is a box you can get so you can use one monitor and turn the dial to switch back and forth between computers. Anyone know what this is called and where to get it? Also, is there a way to use only one mouse and keyboard also, or will I have to have 2 keyboards and 2 mice on my desk? (I have a small desk and am limited on space). Thanks for all help!!
setting up macros in word

Need help setting up formatting in MS word - sm
Computer crashed and died and now setting up my backup computer. I need to fix it so I don't have 2 spaces after a period. It is doing it automatically and I cannot find where to "fix" this. This is Word 2000 that I am using on a computer with XP Pro. Any help with this would be appreciated, it is driving me nuts (I am ending up with 3 spaces after a period as I am so used to spacing it myself).
You can change the setting in Autocorrect...
for automatic numbering to the left margin by:
1) Open MS Word 2) Select Tools 3) Select Autocorrect 4) Click on the tab 'Autoformat as you type" 5) Make sure the box 'Automatic numberer lists' is checked (it's about the 8th box down) 6) Click on okay (otherwise your change wont take)
I hope this is what you meant.
Y'all are right. I am not setting up the boundaries myself! Thanks!

I found the setting but it is grayed out - sm
and I cannot select it, under Tools, Options, Spelling, says "Hide spellling errors in document". I never selected that and can only presume that IT did that for some freaky reason. How do I access it when it is greyed out and you cannot "unselect" it???
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!
copy that! (to my desktop) thank you! NM

I use a laptop and desktop...
The company (MQ) provided the desktop, the laptop is mine. I do not think they provide laptops.
Replacing old desktop
Hey, I need to replace my old desktop computer (too old and slow). The only thing I've been told is that I should definitely go with at least a dual core, but do you have any suggestions other than that? I work in EditScript and so need Windows XP. Also would like to keep the price under $1000, if possible. Any MT with a "favorite" or a "definite don't"? Thanks!
I have a desktop and a laptop...
I got the laptop for Christmas just in case the other computer died and guess what, the other computer died...the motherboard...just I just got a brand new desktop instead of paying to fix the motherboard since they wanted an arm and a leg...so for me having the laptop has been a God send...but it is not something you need to do to work at home...
Only when the desktop has to go into the shop,
and I have to move operations over to the laptop. I just plug my regular keyboard in, which is a Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000. I like this keyboard; it's cheap, so when I inevitably kill it (I am hard on keyboards; must be a hold-over from having learned to type on a manual typewriter back in the stone age) it doesn't cost a lot to replace. (I'm on my second one.) And it has a decent enough touch. The curve is just enough to straighten my wrists out to a neutral position, but not so much that I feel like I'm typing on an alien machine.
Yes its true. They seem to be setting impossible limits for everyone lately and you have to wonder
if they just want people to quit.
It sounds like a setting in your Norton firewall.
