Believe me, like illegal music downloading, program downloading exists too! (nm)

This is not a situation that I would have allowed to occur in the first place.
Get a contract written immediately and get it signed. Detail what you will do as part of your service, the timeframe, what your charge will be, etc. Don't be afraid to go into too much detail since they obviously are big on detail themselves. If they accept your terms, great. If not, then they are welcome to find someone else (good luck to them on that one!)

What you describe sounds more like an employee than an IC. Explain to them that they could be liable for your taxes and penalties should the IRS determine that you are indeed their employee; that alone should be enough to stop the cheapskate in his tracks

You need to be a professional and make sound financial decisions for your business. Let them know that when these new procedure will go into effect and then STICK WITH IT. Don't cave in.
Did it occur to you maybe this is all she can afford?She worked hard for it so is very proud of it?
  
Do you think pc attacks only occur at night? They are looking for open pc all the time.

If you think attacks only occur at night, better tell the folks on the other side of the world, they

Bucky might get the boot . .
Simon was right - that hair was just bad! The stylists are doing them wrong.
Chris got the boot.
A very talented man; dont' fret his life has been changed forever, he will be a very, very rich man, and deserving of it.  He is a bald rocker?  I cannot get behind that, if you are a rocker you have to have hair.  He has such an ego that when Seqrist blurted it out, he was shocked.  I feel sorry for his overweight wife and her insecurities.  At one point earlier in the AI season,  he did a song that he felt was proper, about trying to be loyal to his wife, and all things associated with sudden stardom.  You guys take this far to seriously, the American people vote, and we have only been wrong once, when Rubin beat out Clay, I could not believe that, still don't. I was glad to see him go, he needed to be taken down at least a notch.  He got too confident, and last week and this week, he got beaten out.  Get over it.
How far does it get into the boot process? sm
A bootup problem always suggests something related to the hard drive, but there's stuff that happens during the boot before the hard drive comes into the picture. Do you see anything at all on your screen when you turn the computer on?
How can I set Shorthand so that it opens when I boot up?
p
At too low a line rate and probably as an IC to boot. nm

How long before they give you the boot?

When starting out entry level at a company, what is the norm for probationary period?  I worked partime as an IC MT for a year for a friend, did inhouse TX for 7+yrs for specialty MD's office. All this and never had a problem.


Now that I am doing IC work with a national, it seems that everything I thought I knew about grammar and terminology couldn't hold a candle to the expectations of the nat'l companies.  Now I am begining to get self conscious about every little thing to the point where it takes me a rediculous amount of time to get it done.


It's not like I'm making huge mistakes or anything.  For the most part I do have my terminology and grammar down......its just the little things.  For example, I never knew that there was a difference in the way the phrase 'follow up' should be written-as two words, hyphenated or as one single word.  Didn't know that it depends on if it is used as a noun, adjetive, verb, etc.


I like the company I work for, but man do I feel inadequate. 


 


I had a dual boot up setup. sm
I had 1 monitor,
2 keyboards,
2 mouse, 2 tower PC.
It had a button to push to switch over to the other PC.

On 1 PC was their platform and I needed to still access my PC for all my reference stuff I had created.

So on their PC, somehow it was set up where both PCs, my DSL, the internet to use Google and email

Sounds cumbersome, but it was okay, set up at the same workstation, did not have to shift chairs, the keyboards were kinda on top of each other or just in front of the other. Used the same monitor for both PCs.
Sometimes it is very difficult to boot up and click on that first report (sm)
every morning, but I'm always grateful that I am able to be at home to do this job. I recently contemplated getting back out in the regular workforce, but a couple of weeks ago I had reality smack me in the face.

My daughter has to be dropped off an hour early at school 3 days a weeks for a choral group she participates in. It's quite rare that I have be the taxi as my husband leaves for work early enough to take her, and the school is on his way to work.

One morning, he had to be to work quite early, so the job fell to me. It was dark, cold, and rainy with spitting snow that morning. As I sat in the Jeep warming it up and waiting for my daughter to drag herself out of the house, my brain was screaming NEVER, EVER DO I WANT TO DO THIS EVERY MORNING. NO WAY! NO HOW! PLEASE LET THIS BE OVER SOON.!

I wanted to kiss my house when I got back into the warmth and light, I kid you not. After working at home for 14 years, I am ill-suited to deal with the weather, traffic, and people woes the 9-to-5'ers deal with every day.

Thank you God for blessing me with the skills and intelligence to be an MT.
Here's one site that tells you how you can dual boot Vista and XP.

You'll find lots more with a Google search.
excuse the typos, it's been a long day and having different fights with my DH tonight to boot - n

Do you still have the CD's for downloading - sm
or backup of your old Windows system? If so, I'm fairly certain you could download that onto a new computer in addition to Vista, and run that instead 'til things clear up with the Vista problem at some MTSO's.

Either that, or hang onto your old PC to use for work only, and in the meantime you can buy the new PC and get used to Vistas and its quirks & differences, etc. without worrying about it messing up your work.
Help- What do I need for downloading?
I just had a Dr. ask me if I was able to download dictation.  What does that mean, like from an email or something?  I am new so what do I need to get?  I downloaded express Scribe, but I don't even know how it works!  I am ordering a foot pedal and headphones right now. 
Downloading all folders...sm
The Olympus software that comes with the recorders always downloads every folder that has files in it, and you just need to make sure whatever file transfer method you use checks in all of the folders for new files.

Suggestions for PC, just used for downloading,

Try downloading this player
http://www.olympus-europa.com/consumer/2590_4694.htm

It should open the file and then maybe you can change the format of the file back to a wav file.
You might try downloading ExpressScribe.
I think it has a few test files when you first down load it that you could practice on.
Downloading dictations (sm)

If you key in alt-ctrl-Z while the first one is loading, it will prevent the other two from downloading from the queue.  When you are ready to submit and do another file, you will need to key in that sequence again to allow the next one to come in.


downloading terror
Dawn you must have been the fly on the wall at my place.  It's been monstrous downloading unfamiliar programs and some of those doctors are somebody's idea of a terrible joke - the kind you have to have a report of theirs in front of you so you can learn what they are saying.  I have never tested online til now..  As for now, I am taking a day or 2 off of applying after I put stupid wrong info on an app, my own fault for being "frantic".  Time to walk away for a day or so.  I got told by one company they would call me when they have work, I felt it was a kind brush-off, and I cried myself to sleep.

Virus after downloading DQS from website
Has anyone lately downloaded DQS from their website?
I down loaded two computers (PC and laptop). Both were
infected from a virus found in the WEBCORRECT.exe file.

Anyone else encounter this problem? My virus program isolated the virus and then I deleted the file. I forgot to write
down the virus, something like Trojan Backhorse? Not really sure.
Problems downloading Vianeta...
Has anyone had problems trying to download the Vianeta program onto their computer?  I have been at this for over 3 weeks and am now facing the prospect of having to do a full system restore on my PC.  I was wondering if anyone who uses this platform has had problems and if so, offer a solution other than a system restore.
Downloading medical speller ? (sm)

I googled medical dictionaries and spellers and I've found several.  Some are free.  What's the concensus?  Are the free ones just as good as buying the Stedman's or something comparable?  Opinions please. 


Thanks. 


Downloading Editscript files
After you log in, it takes a while for several reports to load. When you get your first screen, you hit Alt U to get the first report. Hope this works for you.
Trouble downloading test.

I got an e-mail with an attachment for a typing test.  When I opened the attachment I took about a second and screen went into my player but the job was not there to transcribe.  I never had this happen before.  I was resent the attachment and the same thing happened.  I have had problems before with the foot pedal working but also had the voice portion so was still able to test.  Any suggestions ?  TIA.


Maybe downloading the newest version will help.
?
no, it's called illegal downloading - sm
and the key word is "illegal"
Downloading DSS files from TASP

I will need to download and play DSS files from a TASP system.   My boss says I will need to purchase a player and program from Olympus to do this.  Others have said I can use Bytescribe or Express Scribe with my USB pedal.  My question is, if that's the case, how easy will it be to transfer from a TASP and play them on one of these players.  My boss is making it out to be an impossible task.   She said others have tried other programs and other foot pedals with either partial success or no success.   Any help would be appreciated.   The pedal package is $300 and who can afford that?  Not I!  Thanks and happy typing! 


Don't you worry about all the lawsuits for downloading music?
My kids love to download, but once the law suits started against the computer owners I cut it out completely. I know they love music, I do myself, so share with me please, don't you worry about getting "caught?"
Downloading tests via the Internet for employment
Hello all. I was wondering if any of you download tests online when attempting to work for someone advertising here on the job boards. I just feel a little squimish. I'm being instructed to go to the Start Menu, right click, and type in the file name, etc. and then it takes me out to it online. Does this see like a safe thing to do? It doesn't mean anything is going on my PC is it when I type in the file name and password and end up at a site through Internet Explorer.  Sorry for my ignorance or if I'm not making sense.. I just use my computer for a lot of confidential info, etc. and don't want a complete stranger onboard. Any help, suggestions, etc. would be appreciated. Thanks so much.
downloading free word program
has anyone ever used open office to download word so a test can be taken?  I rent a computer from my company and I know I probably should not do this.  My question is would they know if this is being done?  Thank you.  
downloading dictation versus telephone
ive been transcribing 220-250 lines per hour using the following:  I dial into the telephone system using a Dictaphone to access the dictations and use Persona Client and Telnet software. It is all just straight typing, the dictation is waiting for me as I don't have to download nething.  I get paid by minutes dictated.  For example, if I transcribe 1 hour of dictation it would equal 600 lines.  600 lines at 8 cpl = 48.00.  I'm lookin elsewhere for employment, and I'm worried about the downloading of dictations (which seems most are doing now-a-days) slowing my daily production down.  Does anyone seem to be more/less productive as far as using a telephone to access dictations as opposed to downloading.  Also, is there a big difference between getting paid per 65 character line or by minutes dictated.  TY
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
Need Testing Help - Downloading Voice Files
I am taking a transcription test and I have downloaded the voice files on my desktop. I am trying to drag them into Express Scribe but it isn't working. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks!
I already know the details, hubby downloading porn while wife

downloading a tabbed browser will solve that problem

You can only have one Outlook Express open and downloading emails at a time. If have both the SM

laptop and the PC trying to download email for the same address, you are going to have one downloading some and the other downloading whatever comes in after the first computer downloads, make sense?  That's why you are only getting part of your email on one and part on the other.  You have two different machines trying to download the same emails.


If you set both Outlook Express programs set up the exact same way on each computer, then both will work, but not at the same time.


Hope that makes sense.


Company requested not downloading Vista as it will not work with our program.
.
How about downloading a trial version of Wavplayer from Bytescribe (or other wav player)....sm
and see if the .dvf files will work.   That could help isolate some of the problem.  Can you get them to play in Media Player? 
Express Scribe is GREAT for downloading sound files for testing for different companies!

Express Scribe Transcription Playback Software


This software works as a transcriber that downloads into your computer and allows you to receive files and use your footpedal.  I have used it a lot when applying for jobs and testing, especially because I can then use my footpedal and not my keyboard to advance the sound files.  This is a free download too, so use it if you have to.  I highly recommend it.....


This is the link for the site to download it for free -
