You're trying to download XP onto a computer that already has Vista?
Posted By: Dreamweaver on 2007-06-01
In Reply to: Any PC techies or gurus available?! Need - help with XP Pro download to Vista system.
The only way I know of that you can do that is to reformat your hard drive, then install XP Pro. You have to have the full version of XP Pro to do that, not the upgrade.
Windows generally doesn't let you go "backwards" with an OS that is already installed without reformatting. And if it's an OEM system (if you bought it with Vista already installed), I would advise taking it to a computer shop and having them do it. You will save yourself a LOT of frustration.
Just My Humble - but Informed - Opinion.

You can download to computer. Yes,
if you have a license, you can put it on all your machines. Then you just copy the dictionary file onto a floppy and carry it with you and load into the machine you are using.
Download them wherever you want onto your computer - sm
presumably into a file on your C drive. I download from Metroscript into a folder I have called MS voice files. Then I just open my Bytescribe, and then open up the file I want to "open" and play. I am sure you can do it the same way with ExpressScribe. My folder is not in the Bytescribe folder, it can be anywhere on your computer. It is not hard to do. You can set MS up to download to the same file every time though so that makes it a lot easier too.
You can always have the Vista taken off a new computer,
buy XP and have it loaded on.
My new computer came with Vista too, but....
When my hard drive crashed earlier this year, we HAD to get a new computer. Of course it came with Vista. So what my commputer guy did was somehow partition (?) my hard drive and now I have both Vista and XP Pro. Eventually XP is not going to be supported any more and then for me, Vista will be a free upgrade as I already have it on my machine. My tech guy rocks!!
That might be something to consider.
Got new computer and can finally download music! sm
Any suggestions on best site to download from? The last experience I had was with Napster and loved it but don't know if it even exists any more. I am open to any and all suggestions. I realize I will now have to pay now for each song I download but am excited nonetheless! Thanks!!
Download the voice file to your computer.
Then open ES and load it in. If it's not a supported file format, you can get a program like Switch to convert it to a supported format.
Can someone tell me how to have Vista and XP on same desktop computer?
Someone said a post was on this board, but I have not found it yet. What does this process entail, please. I don't want to get rid of Vista, but have both XP and Vista running on the same computer. TIA
Need help again - how do you download your autocorrect entries into a computer with only word and sm

computer wizard question-vista
I have a laptop with vista that I purchased a few months back. Some companies are telling me its not compatable with their programs yet. Do you think I should try it first instead of downgrading to XP? Does it harm the computer if it does not work? I know of some people being told it will not work and then in the end vista was working okay with a company's platform. I know docuscribe works with it okay even though tech will tell you it doesn't. TIA
Looking for computer tech guru to take Vista to XP...sm
I need to move a Vista computer to XP Home. Bought the Vista system, but is not compatible with a bunch of stuff. Have a copy of XP Home that will work. Anybody that can help with that? TIA
my son is a computer grad and told me not to get vista
on my new lap top. i ordered direct from Toshiba with windows XP.
Do most companies that offer this way of typing usually download their part onto your computer? sm
Or am I thinking of something totally different. The past few companies I have worked for have downloaded their programs onto my computer. I receive the files and send them via internet through their computer. Is this the same thing? Sorry, I know how to transcribe but am computer illiterate (?sp).....thanks...
Question. I have Windows XP now on my computer which is getting slow. I do not want Vista
so what do I do if you cannot buy XP or what is the situation with that if your computer goes and you dont want Vista.
Download Express Scribe, it's free, when you download the voice files you will listen to....
them in Express Scribe and you can set your footpedal up. I forget where the downloaded files go, can't remember if you can put them where you want them but I would have to search for them to download to Express Scribe - maybe someone else can tell you how. It is much better than what you are doing.
They're not supposed to touch my computer ever, but my teenager is sneaky!
I just happened to notice just now that it happened after I had transcribed dictation file through the TransNet Player and and then I got a VR report as my next one and the wave volume was down again as soon as I got into the VR report. Is there a difference in the sound files?
Download antikeylogger from download.com.
I haven't tried it yet, but it's got good reviews and a 10-use trial.

Is it their computer? Why are they installing a firewall and autocorrect on your computer? That sm
is usually the responsibility of the transcriptionist, especially if an IC or SE. Which company?
Question about transfering computer into to another computer.. sm
I have a dumb question - Just bought a new computer and someone told me to get a flash drive to transfer all my info. But I'm assuming that ExText that I work off of and Escription will have to be downloaded again by the tech people onto my new computer. I can tranfer these can I?
Thanks
How does one find out the computer specs on my computer?
I should know this, but I just don't remember how to do this. I am hoping I have enough RAM, or whatever, to load work platform on my own computer and begin working on it, rather than paying *rent* on the company-furnished computer. Thanks so much.
A computer is a computer, whether it be laptop or desktop.
I have both and use both and I bought both of mine...most companies do not provide computers...

Express Scribe for free if you need it. It works great.

Hi everybody,
Does anyone know where to go to download the sony digital voice Editor 2? This is supposed to be a free download. I need it to start a new job, and I can't find it. Help anyone?
download
Rebecca,
Are you the former surgery tech? Just curious because I saw your previous emails. No matter. I don't know where you'd find what you're looking for, but I just want to say congratulations on the new job!!!!
download
yeah, t'is I. thank you very much NN. it's an oncology account. don't know too much about that but I'll give it everything I've got.
Rae, what are your download and ...
upload speeds, and what satellite company are you with?
You may want to download
The voice file onto your hard drive first, and then load it into Express Scribe.
I did download it, but
I cannot get it set right as far as rewinding back far enough. Any hints? Thx.
where did U download it from? NM
Thanks all I will download it!
nm
will need to download...
This has happened to me before. You will have to go the website and download the codec in order to play you wav files. Cannot remember how I did it, but once you find the download you should be fine. You could just do a search on Express Scribe codec to find the download.
Good Luck---I use Express Scribe also.
download them
yes, you need to download them. Create a folder on your desk top named something like voice files. Then download them to that folder.
Download again
Have you tried removing Express Scribe and downloading it again?
I use this website:
http://www.nch.com.au/in/ggscribe.html
Then go to near the bottom of the page and click:
Download Express Scribe for Windows (Primary Server - zip file)
Some of the other downloads cause the problems you are having. Let me know how it goes.
I have tried that and I can download it....sm
but they said I have to be able to play sri files which you have to download additional stuff to do. I tried that and still wouldn't work. Then she sent me her version she uses and it had that gid file on it and my computer said it didn't recognize it and couldn't download. So it isn't just ExpressScribe, it is other stuff too to enable sri files.
Try a download at Download.com
They used to have a free recorder that would work on the PC...and would be wav file which works in Express Scribe

Wow! That is awful. My first download did take a
but NOTHING like what you experienced (maybe 3-5 minutes instead of almost immediately for me).
So it probably really depends on where you live, etc., and no good way to predict just how bad it would really be.
Were your ADT searches really bad too? Probably took me twice as long as usual, so pretty frustrating, but not totally unbearable. And the fact that the other reports were downloading in the background while I was working on the current one did make things go smoother than I had expected for the short period of time I lost my DSL and had to use dial-up.

upload/download...
i know nothing about wireless -- but with DSL mine were taking only about 15 seconds when i signed on. Then i got a replacement machine and it was back to about 5 min to do the initial upload. Tech support said there were problems with the new DQS version, so my replacement machine was reverted to old version. Don't know if any of this is helpful, but that's all i can offer...
You do not download the program onto the
floppy to transport, just your active working file which is called a dictionary file (SPF I think.) You download the program onto your computers and then just transport the dictionary file between them.
You can increase the amount a floppy can hold by creating a directory (or directories) on the floppy and then copying the files into the directory. If you do not do this, the computer has to put all the extra data required for a directory file onto each file you load to the floppy.
So, on your a: drive, you create a file called SH. Then copy the dictionary into that file. You can copy multiple dictionaries onto that file if you want.
Stedman download sm
It is very simple and they remind you each day you have X days left, 10 in all. They don't list a price but I am told it is $179, don't know. Works very well but they should post their prices.
This may be funny, but you have to download something.

I tried the sylcount download too and
I did not care for them. I went with Spellex. Good program. Don't have to save files to any rtf. format, just doc. works good. They have a free trial too.
where did you download the files too. Look for wherever
they are, desktop, my documents, etc. Not sure what program you are using to try to get them to play, but you can download ExpressScribe free (google for URL) and then pull up reports out of where ever they are.
You can't download it free any more. You have to buy it now. NM

Thank you. I did not download it but I still cannot find it. sm
It is just when I have to turn up the volume to hear dictators who don't speak very loudly, then it hurts my ears when I forgot to take off my headphones while spell checking, etc. Thank you though.
I use scribe.net and then download
it onto express scribe. It works well.
Download from Medquist
I think the original poster means the download Medquist made available for employees. I'm not aware of the BOS being made available in that format by those who hold the copyright.
Download ES and see. If not, you can always Uninstall it. nm
s
correct, so that others could download them. nm

Yes, I did download the codec,
but it still didn't work. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. I just clicked on it, it downloaded, I clicked open, it says it's installed, tried a .dss file, shows 00:00 duration, and then Express Scribe deletes it. I don't get it.
I'm having my tech guy look for free conversion programs, but he hasn't found anything yet.
