If it is a wireless mouse, change the batteries; if not
then, I am not sure what the problem may be.
Keyboard is fine, mouse batteries goes pretty quick though and if my desk
the signal from the mouse to the transmitter/receiver thing gets messed up, so then move all the junk and all is well. Rarely change the keyboard batteries, mouse every 3 weeks probably. PRO: Like not having wires though, CON: Put in a good supply of batteries.
I tried a wireless mouse
It was too loosy goosy. The cursor was all over the place. I returned mine.
Wireless MS keyboard and mouse...sm
 I just bought a wireless keyboard/mouse from Amazon, it is the Microsoft curved one... only $24 and I love it. I had to fool with it a little bit, the receiver and the channel button at the bottom of the keyboard, but it is very nice, and curved, because i am so used to using the split erogo ones, but this one is very good.
Computer not seeing wireless keyboard/mouse
I hooked up the mini receiver to the USB port, put all batteries in as directed, used the CD to install, turned off and then back on computer but when I type on the keyboard or use the mouse, nothing registers. I have to then hook up my plug in keyboard and mouse (why I am able to type right now).
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you in advance!
You might try wireless keyboard and mouse--mine by Microsoft made it better to type faster. SM
You might try wireless keyboard and mouse--mine by Microsoft made it better and I was typing faster.
Just keep the wireless "thing" that both the mouse and keyboard transmit to (and the part that is connected to the computer) out in the open, not covered up by papers, books, etc.
I tried to go back to my other keyboard, the one that plugs in, and could hardly type on it. The wireless keyboard was a lot faster and so it is less work.
Hope this helps.
Well you gave her a fair chance, asked her to stop. It's a shame she didn't take the chance. n

put your mouse on the bar, hold down the left side of your mouse and move it back to the bottom, let
hope this works

batteries
wow, i can't believe that you change your batteries that frequently on the mouse. i sometimes go for a year before changing and that's either with Duracell or Energizer. wonder what the problem could be?
AA batteries ....sm
Maybe it would recharge something....I'm SOOOOOOOOooooo tired. What was he thinking????
Batteries old in keyboard?
I only type in word but this has happened to me before and it was old batteries or because I use cordless I had to reposition the connection thing that reads your keyboard and mouse. Just a simple guess and am probably wrong.
Addendum: Batteries not included.
OMG... I feel even better now. I was looking at the back of the box and it said you need a AAA battery. Wow... I thought the sound was great before --- that was without the battery which I did not even notice because of the design of the headphones. Now, for the first time in 9 years working for MQ I am proud to say that I had to turn the volume DOWN. Too loud...hurt my ears...ooww. LOL Glad I was able to exchange my MQ stock for something useful... a pack of 2 AAA batteries for my new headphones.... Life is good.
do the Bose QC2 require batteries?
If so, how often do you find you need to replace them - and/or do you think there is any health hazard to having batteries up next to your head? thanks.
Batteries lasted me only about 2 weeks. Not worth it to me. nm
Just a reminder to change your smoke alarm batteries nm
Check out the back-up batteries at Office Depot -
I have very short power interruptions every single day, so having a back-up power supply is a must. I have two now, hooked to different pieces of equipment. I can work for nearly an hour without external power if need be. I can hear it beep and click on and then off when power is restored again, which is literally just maybe 10 seconds or so. As far as a generator goes, I have no idea, sorry.
Keyboard and mouse. Is there such a thing as a keyboard that has a mouse on the actual keyboard?
nm
You are probably right. If I were looking for a job, I would not take the chance with this one. nm

Is your dad by any chance (sm)
a less than happy camper when he wakes up in the morning? Maybe moving a little too fast in the morning? Maybe Snoopy is avoiding dad when dad's adrenaline is pumping, but doesn't see a problem when dad is kicked back and relaxed.
Then there's the off chance that...
The person who posted wasn't "Joan Berre," but was trying to potentially cause trouble for her. I would hate to think that anyone would do that, but it's possible.
I have a chance (m)
to go to work in-house for $17/hour. The problem is it's a 2 hour drive each way for me. I have a car that gets great gas mileage. Would you do it?
By any chance was it... (sm)
Proficient Transcription? There have been numerous complaints about this so-called company. They may be under a different name by now but the owner's name was Donna. She had people give her money to buy equipment they could buy themselves and then would give them next to nothing in terms of work and then not pay for what they did. Just curious if this was the same.
IMO...not a chance. No way, no how.
I beat VR with my own standards and templates, but it's still nowhere near that. On the most excellent of days with the perfect dictators and best templates I can get 550/hour. But again..that's a lot of template/expander help.
Not a chance....
Especially if termination was through no fault of your own, and was due to their own internal structuring.
Make their loss, your gain, and don't look back.
You can do better.
By chance is this MT Daily?

Give MQ a chance...
Isn't it just possible that after all is said and done, and after all the changes, MQ may very well be a much better company to work for? Perhaps closing all these millions of branches (and the wildly different management styles, i.e. Columbus versus Amherst) will result in a more streamlined, consistent company where there is consistency across the board? Trimming the fat can be a good thing, U know. Personally I think Amherst is on borrowed time - a soon-to-be relic of the bad old days when nothing was done the same way from branch to branch. After all the dust settles, MQ just MIGHT be an excellent place to work again - but at least we should hear them out and give them the chance to prove it. Just my 2.5 cents...
Any chance it is something along the line of... sm
glioependymal cyst, meningeal cyst,
Are you by any chance from Alaska?
Or do you mean just because it gets dark early because of the time change. I've heard of people in Alaska with the night being so long using that light for depression, but that's really the only time I've heard of it.
That is good. I would never take a chance sm
with my pets. Cats are felines. Dogs are canines. Two different species. What works on one "could" kill the other in some instances. Just check pet poison control centers. Maybe same chemicals in some instances, but different formulas entirely.
I had a chance to sign up.
My ex-employer was into it. There were some local people who did well with it and were in that upper group. Also, I had the opportunity to check out some of the tapes without buying. I still never found the money to get started. Now I am glad I didn't.
No. She had her chance and didn't win.
Now if she's unable to try out due to an injury, that's too bad. No one else would be given the luxury of not having to try out and still getting on the team. She already got to to go the Olympics, so give someone else a chance!
Do you by any chance use Benadryl or
anything containing diphenhydramine? I don't have RLS, but when I use the above to help me sleep I have it really bad. Just in case you do use it, I thought I'd let you know. Good luck!
I agree with you. You only get one chance
to make a first impression. If 5 people come in for the job all w/the same credentials, I would pick the one w/the neatest appearance. At K-Mart he's probably going to doing something where customers can see him. I insist on my son wearing clean, pressed slacks or jeans and a shirt w/a collar.
If given the chance would you go hourly or ... sm
stay production if the pay per hour was around $15 with no opportunity to make more per hour or as an employee with incentive and all you were making a minimum of 9.5 cents per line? Is it better to make a little less but know exactly what you are going to make each week or just go for the ability to make more and hope you are able to stay productive. Thanks.
I would jump at the chance....

Give the kid a chance....
she has to start somewhere. If you are as good as you say then you will be an excellent trainer for her and will be rewarded for teaching her the ropes. IMHO you sound kind of threatened by this and I have to wonder why. Be nice and help her along in becoming great transcriptionist.
Would you by chance work for
MD-IT
I speed them up every chance I get!
I have a chance to get an account but I need a VPN.
I googled and found some information and from what I understand it is very simple to setup and basically like setting up any connection to the internet. Is it really that easy?
I would have jumped at the chance.
20 minutes away? The last job where I actually was offered any training was 45 minutes away, but I went. Although meeting face to face is not necessary, I always enjoyed putting a face to a name/voice. I think, in this case, it was irresponsible of the MTs to blow this off. With my present job the MTSO came out and loaded the software on my computer and briefly showed me how to use it. I appreciated even that much. Most of the time ICs are expected to just be able to do it. I am an older MT with lots of experience, but I scramble for any technical experience/training I can get.
Are you talking VR by any chance?
If you are I have done the same group now for over 15 years, first straight and then VR. I do not see as to where there has been any change whatsoever in their speech, lack of, changing for the better and so on. I will say this, years ago in the 80s I worked at a hospital and did some outside work for a group of internists. One physician there was a horrible dictator; however 1 day he dictated in his office his own personal note to the bank regarding HIS money and it was unbelievably clear, no garbling, did not have to strain to hear him so they can do better, I know. Having said that, I have noticed no difference in their using a machine as to using the MTers- they basically just do not care (the majority, that is). What I hear on VR now is what I have heard for years and years, same ole.
No Admin here but think U should have chance

Our best chance at success would come from - sm
changes in how the US taxes all employers. Instead of rewarding them with a tax break for offshoring, there should be a HEFTY tax. They should pay for the 'privilege' of using cheap labor, not get rewarded for it. If something like could get passed in Congress, it would automatically include all MTSOs. Then things might change for the better for the average American worker.
Is this by any chance Pro-Type??sm
I think you should state the company name, this will save other MTs who are hired by these people a HUGE headache. If someone does that to me, I make sure and post about them and their company on every MT board I can find. Good luck.
Taking a chance
I saw an ad for a transcription job on Craigslist, and I responded. It turned out not to be medical transcription. If I can get the footpedal to work next time, it could be fun. I've never heard of the company, so if it turns out to be an honest company with plenty of work and reasonable pay, I'll post the name. It's neat because you can take the work they send or send it back. What a change from the usual, right? The rate is $18 per AUDIO hour, so we'll see what that translates to.
Does this have anything to do with TigerFish by chance?

Well people, here's your chance
There's going to be a industry-wide conference in Kentucky in April to hash out the current state and future of VR/SR/ASR/SRT. I think the first order of business should be to decide on a name (or initials) and stick to it.
Anyway, MTs can click on the below link and then click on their link that starts with "MTIA and AHDI seek your feedback...." I haven't taken it yet so don't know whether it's just radio buttons to select canned answers or whether there's a place for written answers. If there is, I'd be almost tempted to write a response that looks like some of the VR output I've seen!
Have at it, MTs. Let your voices be heard.
Has anyone works for Cymed by any chance. What do you think of them.
