Turn off User Account Control in Vista
And Express Scribe will work, at least the latest version will.
Also--last time I was at the ExpressScribe forum they stated that the Welcome message won't play, so try another file before assuming it doesn't work.
Yes, but had to disable User Account Control in Vista. nm

Turning the control off did the trick. sm
I don't even need the convertor now. The plug-in downloaded and my GP plays the dvf files just fine. Wow!!! I can't thank you enough.
Thanks, thanks, thanks!!!!
User Acct Control Setting
Hi there,
I have had a few problems with Vista like this. I currently use Express Scribe with a USB foot pedal and its working fine for me. I have had to tweak a few things though to make Vista work with most of my transcription software. One thing I have noticed for most programs to work with Vista that I use for transcription, the user account control setting has to be turned off. I keep it off all of the time now. Here is a link on how to do that.

Also, if that doesn't seem to work there is another Vista option I have used with a lot of success. It is a software compatibility feature that enables software that worked fine with XP to be able to work fine on Vista. Here is a link to that as well.

I hope all of this helps!!!
Is their platform user friendly, or does it depend on the account?
nm
I have total control of my account, and as for set up - sm
they ask you when you want it set up for and they delivered the day I wanted it--I can set up my folders, say who has access to what, delete folders, etc. I do not plan on storing any files there on a long-term basis, I erase after I have transcribed the work. I keep a copy on my computer though just in case for a while. I do not send the work back that way as my client prefers email but if I get any other clients in the future I will send the finished work back that way if they want it that way.
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.

No, not offended and not turning on you sm
I think some of us are frustrated and concerned for you because we know it will happen again--and there's nothing we can do.
We also see the things that you're saying and see them as typical problematic statements, classical of someone who's being abused and will be abused again.
Statements like these:
"I have neglected to mention that when he is calm, he is actually okay." What? What difference does that make? He's probably very sweet and wonderful when he's not hitting you, yes.
and
"The incident two weeks ago was because I was forcing a trip to see my daughter's family." In other words, you caused it, right? That's so typical of an abused woman. "I made him mad" or "I egged him on." See, we on this board read things like this and see what you're not seeing, which is why we are SCARED for you and urging you firmly to see them. You're interpreting this as turning on you or that we're offended. No -- we are seeing something and trying to get you to see it, and really worried that you're not. And yes, frustrated that you're going to live with this man under the same roof while you try counseling and religion.
things are turning around?
I have some relatively good news fellow transcriptionists! I am seeing a change for us in small doses. Seems several of the larger hospitals who have outsourced to "companies" are now bringing back in the MT and paying decent wages with all benefits. Look around, they are popping up everywhere. I know of several "compaines" that I have worked part time for that the hospitals are dropping like flies because of various reasons, but the truth of the matter is that it is always better to have regular typists working for the same doctors as we "learn their lingo" and know how to baby them, which in a nutshell is what gives us the job security that we look for. I work for a hospital as an IC that now is having big problems because they dont want to give raises or benefits(therefore people are quitting), but they are finding out very fast that no one else can or wants to do their work. I can't wait for them to try the offshore companies.. will just be too rich... As fussy as my group of doctors are, well, I smell raise on the horizon and benefits to boot. they will just have to fall flat on the ground before they can walk the walk!!
Just remember, what goes around comes around. I have a new job with a hosptial that has made me full employee and decent wage. I am so looking forward to seeing this change that has been long coming.
I am just glad that it really is starting to turn around. Just goes to show these offshore cheaper prices are not being "bought" for long by many. I know of one hospital that had outsorced all their work, after a while (maybe a couple of years) they found that it was CHEAPER to bring the Transcriptionist back in and train to send home with all equipment and benefits and really decent pay, I am talking more than what any "company" has ever offered me, except for opt notes.. Just too cool. I am so excited..
Will keep you posted as I start my new job - really belonging again! :)
Maybe you are accidentally turning it
on by hitting Ctrl-B or a combination of keys to turn it on. I am always accidentally making words all CAPS.
Have you tried turning it off and then back on? nm

turning off computer at night
I leave mine on -- just do a "control, Alt, delete" and "log off" instead of shut down. It works fine. I have to enter my password the next day, but thats okay.
I've heard the machine will not last as long if it's turned off every night.
Yes, turning Celine OFF works even better! LOL
He will be turning on the charm 100%. Don't listen to it. sm
And you've never tried God as an option before? Well, if you wish, tell him to get some God on his own while you and your children are safe someplace else.
You're stoked right now, which is great, but don't let it fizzle out with husband's pleas and lack of abuse in the meantime. It WILL happen again if you stay. Anybody who knows anything about abuse will tell you that. The center you contacted will tell you that, too. Listen to the experts.
Bravo on actually contacting your parents and Swan. However, you said they can hide you out if you actually need to go. Hello? You actually need to go. Now. You were just hit 2 weeks ago. You're feeling in control and all, but it WILL happen again. Yes, you are in danger. Your husband is scared right now. He senses the loss of control. However, this is a cycle. When you stay, and things get a bit more distant, they'll resume some sort of normalcy. It'll build up, and he'll blow. What will happen next? You know you've got someone who has abused you as recently as 2 WEEKS ago, and you say you're not in danger and you're willing to let your CHILDREN LIVE under the same roof as someone who WILL eventually blow again, and maybe hurt them next time?
It's not just about being hid out when (not if) things get ugly again. You need to work toward a permanent plan, not just a crisis plan. There are other places besides this one you've called, ones who can give you some counseling and advice on how to leave and make it on your own with your children.
I wish you would listen and leave, but I have a feeling you're going to wait til next time. Do you know it takes women an average of SEVEN times leaving their abusive spouses before they finally leave for good? How many times will you let it take you? And what will be the cost to you and your children before you finally "get it?"
Turning numbering on and off for lists
Does anyone know the keystroke commands or if they even exist to turn numbering off and on for lists? I hate having to use the mouse to point at the menu and going that route!
It seems turning that off sorta turns it into XP. LOL! nm

You might also try turning off the suggestion window SM
or whatever it is you have for a while. I use Shorthand, but it's pretty much the same thing. That way you could give yourself a list of often-used abbreviations to memorize and get very comfortable with and/or a rule that tells you what a lot of your abbreviations are going to be. As you get comfortable with those few, you'll end up loving them and wanting MORE, MORE, MORE. With that attitude, you can turn the window back on or give yourself yet another list and another rule or two to get used to.
Just think, if you only used abbreciations for the words "the patient" (tp or ?), "hydrochlorothiazide" (hycx or ?), and "blood pressure" (bp or ?) you'd never type those three out again and would be saving that much time with each of them. Start small and unspook yourself.
Join the club on being confused. With turning us
things are charged, billed, or anything any more.
It just seems like they wanted me to work for nothing to clean up ASR reports. It was pitiful what they wanted, considering what they needed me to clean up. I could have typed it faster and better using my word expanders.
Go with your gut, Patti - my gut is turning and screaming Indian - sm
but then again, it could just be increased peristaltic activity... but I doubt it
Are you turning the volume using the home typist icon
or your regular volume control icon on the tool bar?
I have had that problem with some whispering dictators, so I mute the program itself just for that dictator.
It's a shame if you can't use it. I get a real rhythm going and my day just flies. I don't think I can type without it now.
I hear ya. I'm a natural blonde turning white sm
At first the box stuff worked pretty good. Now I have a huge "skunk stripe" on the left side of my forehead and I'm starting to grow another "skunk stripe" on the left side. 
After a while the box stuff only calms down the different texture of the white stuff for a few weeks so if you wear a few bangs, you need to cut them to match after dying. 3 weeks later the bangs with the white stuff are suddenly a good half inch shorter again.
Needless to say, for the time being I have the "off the forehead" look that makes my head look like two breakdown lanes on a highway. 
I'm saving my money. The initial shock for the "makeover" is scary, but my 2 sisters told me to go for it as the upkeep isn't too bad at all. They would both be snow white in their late 40's if it weren't for visits to the salon.
I'm headed in the same direction and I'm early 40's. My husband, who went white by 38, told me to just go natural.
I told him to kiss my natural behind.
Mine is working fine and turning purple...

Turning off Indexing will drastically improve speed.
Vista loads a ton of "services" that you won't ever use so turn those off as well. A Google search will give you exact instructions on the ones you don't need.
I would feel like people would think I was an infertile woman turning my cat into a baby.

Try turning the volume down, it works. Celine is superior by far. No contest. NM

What is the difference between an acute care account and a multispecialty account??..nm
nm
I've never had a problem switching from account to account.
The problem I had was being switched too soon. If I don't get one account spec solidly in my memory with QA feedback on mistakes before starting another, I get confused. The other problem I had with former jobs was inconsistent QA. One person tells you one thing, another person tells you another.
Lately, I don't have a problem with it. Right now, my binder has 8 account specs (some I've never had to use) and I'm picking up a new weekend job for a while. The terminology and report formats stay basically the same. It's just all those little preferences. LOL
sorry - just used a new user name
didn't know it was taken by somebody else who everybody seems to think so little of. I am NOT whatever MTMommy you all are referring to. Sorry. Just looking for a little knowledge here about what I might be reasonably be able to charge when I am asked... would not want to shortchange myself.

new Cox user need help sm
I will be having cox installed next week, I understand I can get a wireless router for one computer but they said I would have to purchase a wireless "card" for my others. I have an Acer and a Gateway, plus a Dell laptop aside from the one I am having Cox installed on. How can I get a wireless card for each of these computers and are they hard to install? They are "older" but still work fine for the kids, etc. Thanks for any help.

Is there anyone who has had phone cards work for them? The ones I have seen are at least 4 cents a minute. But, has anyone found that phone cards is the answer to ULD? I am new to this and scrambling to find something to replace MJ.
as a user of VR with my job
I gotta admit that I love these bloopers.
VR is only as good as the user,
and it won't pick up background noise if you have a noise-cancelling microphone (like I do).
Here's a report I dictated yesterday. I think it had one error (it typed breed instead of bleed), but that was because it was the end of the day and I was getting tired. Judge VR for yourself (and see my note after the report)-
The patient is a 57-year-old male with a history of hypertension, who was found on the floor by his son. The son heard the patient fall and then heard banging on the floor. At the time of initial evaluation, the patient was verbalizing although the patient could not understand what he was trying to say. The patient had a left hemiparesis. The paramedics were called but by the time they arrived the patient was unresponsive, however, he was reported to have a gag reflex and he was breathing spontaneously. The patient was transported to our facility for further evaluation and management.
On arrival in the emergency department the patient was found to be entirely unresponsive, therefore, he underwent tracheal intubation for airway protection and to provide ventilatory support. He was found to be hypertensive at the time of his evaluation in the emergency department. The patient subsequently underwent a CT scan of his head. This revealed a hemorrhage into the basal ganglia and ventricles. There was mild ventriculomegaly and the basal cisterns were tight. Additional evaluation in the emergency department demonstrated that the patient had left ventricular hypertrophy on electrocardiogram but without evidence of acute myocardial ischemia. He was noted to have severe renal failure with a BUN of 95 and a creatinine of 9.8. The patient's blood sugar was 229. The patient had placement of an EVD and was transferred to the intensive care unit for further management.
Since admission to the intensive care unit the patient has remained hypertensive. His systolic blood pressure has been as high as 190. His current blood pressure is 140/80. The patient is receiving a propofol infusion. He has not required any additional hypertensive therapy at the present time. The propofol was used because the patient did become agitated, although he was not awake enough to adequately protect his airway.
Since admission the patient's intracranial pressure has varied between 8 and 16. He has required CSF drainage of about 10 mL per hour. His cerebral perfusion pressures have remained satisfactory. He has been in sinus rhythm with a heart rate of 80. He has not had any ectopy despite the acute intraventricular bleed.
The patient remains intubated and mechanically ventilated. With slow ventilatory support, his gas exchange has been satisfactory. We are providing assist-control ventilation to optimize his gas exchange, but we will attempt to keep his pCO2 between 30 and 35. Lung fields are clear and there is no evidence that he had aspiration at the time of his bleed.
The patient was also noted to be hyperglycemic. He is receiving an insulin infusion to optimize his glucose control, and the insulin infusion will be adjusted as needed.
Because of the patient's severe uremia he will require dialysis. Currently, his potassium is not elevated and his intravascular level appears satisfactory.
The nephrologists have spoken to the patient's personal physician. By history, the patient has had progressive renal failure although he has not require dialysis. He is also known to have hypercholesterolemia and cardiomyopathy. He has had deteriorating mental status over the past few weeks, which may reflect his progressive uremia. He will require dialysis in addition to continued ventilatory support and management of his intracranial pressure.
P.S. For the record, I dictated this report, if you will excuse the cliche, like a bat out of hell. All I know is I completed 36:23 of dictation in about 1 hour 15 min, and it had 626 lines.
Still think VR is such a bad product?

I've taken phentermine off and on for the last 15 years after quiting smoking and gaining 25 pounds. The only problem is, once you stop taking it the weight comes back on. I have had no health problems from this medication, SO FAR.
Is there a way to search by user name? (sm)
Is there a way to search MTStars by user name? For instance, if I want to search my past posts? I tried using the search at the top but it didn't work.
I have WP 10 and I like it. User friendly. sm
I've used MS Word too, but there really isn't that much difference and its easy to learn.

Very user friendly
Although I was a newbie at the time, after finishing a MT course, they first had me on Dictaphone and then trained us on Escription/Edit Script. It was much, much easier than Dictaphone and any MT with experience would find it very easy to use. There really is not that much training needed---just to learn the commands, which is included in the tutorial. It really is a great platform.
