When I upgraded, I had a tech do it. YOu have to uninstall this and that and then reinstall after upgrading. It appeared to me to be kinda touchy. So, it's possible these won't work afterwards. I'd check with a tech. Good luck!

I upgraded RAM from 256 to 1 gig this summer for only about
$50 at Best Buy. Maybe $30. And they installed it for me. The $$ included the installation. Just a FYI

I like ChartMatrix now that it's been upgraded. sm
Can use Shorthand, can access past reports, keeps a real-time line count. Very MT friendly.

Vista did this to me and I upgraded IE
I got the same message about the Internet Explorer encountering a problem. I was not able to do anything except close the window. After I lost some jobs on Bayscribe a few times I got annoyed and upgraded to IE 8. I haven't had any more problems yet, but I have only had IE 8 for a little over a week. If you have tried everything else mentioned to fix the problem and it has not worked you should just upgrade.

Rockin' have you been upgraded to ExEditor yet?
I just upgraded last week. Absolutely love it. All commands are the same whether it is a speech job or a non-speech job. They changed some of the commands to use the the control key instead of alt, but that took about 2 reports and I had adjusted. It really is a great program. There many things that I said in EXSpeech like "I wished the program did this....." Well now it does. It is fabulous and I am very pleased!!

Before I upgraded, Stedman's worked-when you load the CD--sm
you are asked where you want it to load to, just choose Word 95.

Upgraded software in place. Sorry for the inconvenience of outage, but

this software offers more features and is up to date as compared to the previous software used. Enjoy!

I hope everyone from TX stays safe. Learn from Katrina.

Does anyone like the new Healthgrade website after they upgraded - it only takes 4 or 5 steps to

I use Abacus; however, it is an older version. Don't know if it has been upgraded. It is free.

Yes, I lost mine. I upgraded the Office 2000 package to Office 2003. sm
I have over 2000 autocorrect entries and lost them all as well as my supplemental dictionary for my Stedman's spellcheck. Lots of grief!

Maybe you will be lucky and not lose anything. Good luck to you.
