I wish I knew enough to help. My daughter had viruses totally shut her computer down
but hers did let me at least reinstall XP. I had a disc lying around from some of my old computers and it worked fine on it. The downside is that obviously when I reinstalled she lost all of her saved files, picture etc..but she had a working computer and that is all she cared about without having to replace the hard drive. I honestly wish I could help but I am not sure there is any way to transfer or recover what is on your computer if it will not even read a CD to burn to or a USB flash drive. Have you checked out the forums at Dell.com. I went to the troubleshooting area and it lead me to a tech support forum where I could enter in the error message and it told me what I could do to fix the problems and it did work. If nothing else, I would try to take it to a computer shop to have them assess it and let you know what is or is not salvageable. Good luck. I feel you pain.

SHUT UP!
Get over yourself.
No. I have as much right to tell you to shut up and
get out as you do me!
No. You're just a lesion, a runny icky sore. A little sunshine will dry you right up! That's what you DON'T want -- something to heal up that oozing attitude of yours!
MQ is digging it's way out and if that isn't good enough for you, get out.
It's a real shame MQ cannot get the IP addresses of all the complainers and fire every single one of you without notice. Absolutely, that would be the best action they could ever take!!
shut them down?
do you think reporting them local news agencies that fight for consumers would help shut them down?
You are a fool..so shut up
Why do I work two jobs? Do you have the need to know? Because I like to live well and have money in my pocket. Why dont you work two jobs? Because you are the lazy one and most likely no other trans company would hire you except MQ, who it is well known will hire newbies and transcriptionists that other companies would not give their 2 cents to.

kidneys shut down
Changes are that he is not even aware of what is going on and is semi-comatose or full coma. Hopefully, the hospital will keep him comfortable. My father-in-law went so fast that the nursing home couldn't give him enough morphine to keep him comfortable (even though he was basically not awake we could tell he was experiencing discomfort), they legally couldn't dispense enough and it was evening. They were going to call Hospice in the morning but he passed away before that could be done. Hopefully, the hospital will have the ability to keep this man comfortable.
I shut down every night--sm
for two reasons. Not the electricity, but the fact that if you are always running, you leave yourself more open to someone trying to compromise your computer. the second reason is that even though you may be set to receive updates on antivirus, etc. sometimes those updates need you to reboot in order for them to take effect. in fact, most of them do. If you are always running, your updates are never taking effect. The minor mini-surges at start up do NOT put wear and tear on your computer. they were DESIGNED for shut down and restart. geez. better get new techies!
I know, I know, I had one eyeball shut and
One eyeball open and my fingers were sore from typing. Too late to catch, but he won't read it anyway. Just was venting. I would laugh if he would call me and say the same thing. But I know he won't. Thanks anyway. 
She just threw that out there to shut us up, I think
She posts here quite frequently, mostly to whine about her husband, stepson, MIL,and everything else. I don't believe she's really an intentional troll at all, just a complete moron who was trying to dig her way out of the sh*tstorm she started with this gem of a post.
Yes, it is SHUT UP or APOLOGIZE!...nm

so its okay for you to be unappreciated, to just keep mouth shut
I also do my work and then some, but why not a little respect back that I give? I can't believe it doesnt bother you. Look at your tone on this board, you seem like the kind of person who would be bothered by it.
meant mouth SHUT

EXACTLY! Shut up & check out the classifieds.
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
shut up or put up - your choice - you cannot control them, only yourself

ok, I'll keep my mouth shut!! ;) Thanks! nm

Do you shut your puter down overnight?
Just curious how many shut completely down at the end of your work day or overnight? Why or why not?
auto text has shut off
i was deleting some entries in my auto text and now when i am typing, they aren't coming on...i must have shut them off and i can't figure out to turn it on again.
Do you think Company Board should be shut

They've forced many of our ERs to shut down
a regular doctor's office. So the few that are left are full to bursting. Once when I had a medical emergency, the ambulance couldn't take me to the closest ER because they had no room, instead we drove FOREVER to a far-away hospital, and still I had to wait a long time out in the hallway. Right now I would say 80% of the people being treated on the account I type for are Mexican and don't speak English. So the hospital has to pay for full-time, professional translators to accompany these people at office visits. And it's no surprise that a large number of them came here illegally.
Shut the h*** up. I make $75K a year doing this with BIG nationals.
I get full benefits. I'm not gutless in any way and I'm NOT having my "rights" taken away from me.
They're not doing anything to me I don't want them to do.
If that's YOUR situation, then make that STUPID statement about your own idiot self.
I'm doing just fine financially, Granny. I doubt YOU make the money I do. Not many do, they're not willing to sit their butts down and actually WORK for more than a few minutes at a time without running here and complain to all the other 'children' about 'school'.
I don't take s*** off anyone, not individuals and certainly not places I work -- there are too many of them out there to work for and if I don't want to do that, I can work for myself.
I kinda like the fact that I bring home more than THREE times what it takes for me to live, AND have insurance, AND a TSA, AND choose my work schedule.
Gotta shut the door and zone out and get it done
Been there, still go there sometimes. It took me a long time to just focus on the work, because at first I thought, "This is so coooool! I don't have to actually go to work. I think I'll go make brownies and come back to it later." WRONG!
Had to make myself a schedule, as the kids were getting packaged brownies and the dishes were never done. It's tough at the beginning to and when I started a year ago nobody was home. Then school got out and I realized I had forgotten to factor in the summer part, which was a nightmare! "Mama! You're not WORKING, ARE YOU?" Ended up starting at 4:00 a.m. and then working again after everyone was settled in bed.
Now I'm back on schedule. Good luck. 
PS--one more thing and then I'll shut my mouff!
Someone said something about not allowing this poor dog to get the exercise he needs out doors. My dog gets PLENTY of exercise. He is not overweight, and we play with him every single night of the world--he's a big part of our lives. He chases balls and toys and we play probably at least 30 minutes to an hour every night of the world, so a dog (particularly a small one like this) does not have to go outside to get any exercise. Thanks for listening/understanding.
Guess I should have kept my mouth shut, now people are - sm
policing the policing. Too nuts.
Unplug shut down plug in and reboot!

But MTs who 'keep their mouths shut' are part of -sm
the problem. Where I came from, that's the kind of person they wanted - a little mouse who kept her head low, flew under the rader, and just typed, typed, typed. And preferably did not get sick, eat, or go to the bathroom very often! The people who saw problems and/or solutions were a huge THREAT to the managers, who wanted their own managers to think that they knew what they were doing, & 'had everything under control'. And they were scared that the people who spoke up might embolden all the mice. The only way the MT disgrace in this country will ever have a chance of getting better (and maybe our medical records banned from going offshore!) is if MTs speak up LOUDLY, and bring this problem to the attention of the whole country.
I have converted a bedroom to office. Can shut

How 'bout we all shut up and go to work, loool
I'm shocked that they are still in business. Why haven't they been prosecuted and/or shut dow

If an attorney knew his client had cancer, would he keep his mouth shut? SM......
You are a professional. Regardless of the patient's name, you are to keep everything confidential. The only reason I would say for you to give it to someone else is if you can't keep your mouth shut, but having already heard the name, the damage is already done. Don't make a big deal out of it. The first thing you should have learned in MT training was EVERYTHING IS CONFIDENTIAL, PERIOD, so what's the big deal?
I'd type it & keep my mouth shut. If you defer the report to someone else, you are just calling
hmmm...maybe I don't know yet how to post on this board.
I read in the newspaper that an online betting site had to shut down...
because there were many very large bets on Danielle winning. Supposedly people were tipped off that she won.
I agree that she shouldn't win. Go Terry!
No. I have AVG set to update and run in the middle of the night. My techies said no reason to shut d
:P
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?
Unfortunately in my area they made it so the utility companies can shut you off no matter how cold

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...

Computer help, please - sm
I know this should be easy BUT, tell me how to find the version of Windows that I have. I can't find where it says this.
TIA.
New Computer?
I have only ever had Dell computers, but like you said, I'm tired of getting someone named Bobby, who can't speak English. I quit buying from them and went to my local computer place and had one built. Now, when I have a problem, I get someone who speaks English. IF you live in a big town, check around. I live in a small town and it was easy to find out what was what. I would still rather have a Dell, but I don't do anything off shore anymore. The price of a small place is not that much different than buying from the places you mentioned and is a lot less wear and tear on the nerves.
First computer
The first computer I ever used was a Rayethon (think that is the spelling) computer. It was enormous, took up my whole desk, LOL. Nothing like nowadays. Wonder whatever happened to Rayethon?
computer
I tried it and mine did the same as yours.
MQ computer
I got to use one of their computers free while I was training and continued until I was off probation. Then the fee started coming off my checks. But, the repeating theme seems to be all the offices are different.
computer
I have two HPs. I think I will do the same.
it's not the computer
You need a little stereo adaptor that you can buy from radio shack. It costs a few dollars. I'm presuming you have a a cord that connects into the computer. Okay, now, you plug the adaptor into the cord and your headset into the adaptor.
Voila!
Does you computer have enough
memory and disk space for an upgrade like this? The reason I wonder is once I upgraded my old computer and found that XP takes a lot of resources and the whole computer was bogged down and never worked right after that. Ended up buying a new one with XP already on it.
I think you can only do this on a computer with XP- sm
they did this so you could use the 98 programs on the computer with XP. I don't have either of your programs on my computer (use a physical book for the drugs and google) but I installed old Lotus, my Bytescribe, ShortHand, Quicken, various art programs, WP 5.1 DOS, can't remember them all but they all work fine. I have Stedman's spellchecker which was on my old 98, now on my XP, though I do upgrade that every couple years so that one is irrelevant.
