blurry screen

A note about the blurry screen...my friend has a monitor like that and I definitely think its the monitor! But....what did help some is to decrease the width of the screen itself. Basically, there'll be a black line about an inch in diameter on either side of the screen...dramatic difference, though still not crisp.

Blurry Text Question
I got a new computer for work, but my text looks quite blurry. (Makes me sick when trying to proof.)
I screwed around with the monitor settings to no avail. Does anyone have any idea what I need to do? 
I will soooo appreciate any tips or suggestions.
Thanks! 
EXText Word Client - blank screen everytime I give "ok" in the DIS screen
I am using EXText Word Client software with Transnet. I am getting a blank screen everytime I give "ok" in the DIS screen (patient details info screen). I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software an upgraded but still errors out the same way. Are there any EXtexters who could help?

EXText word client blank screen everytime I give ok in DIS screen
Thanks your suggestion was very valuable. At a specified time (which the technical side say, when the net speed is very good), it is working without a problem at all (whereas this was half working and half not working before even at this time), but other times, still the same problem exists.
Actually the blank screen comes every time I give "ok" in the DIS screen (patient details info screen).
Screen Resolution/Font/Screen Percentage
My eyes are tired all the time. I usually have my monitor set at 800 x 600 pixels and use Bookman at 10 font in Word at 111% in the normal layout. What might be a better viewing screen setting to use?
I am getting the LCD screen. Do you like that screen.

screen
yep! Only had mine for about two months now and just love it. sooo much more room on my desk, and alot less glare.
I'm getting the same screen here and I need a job!! :) nm

PS - Your screen name is the BEST.
We need more posters like you on this board... two thumbs up! :)
TES Screen is ...
the screen where the patient data is entered (name, DOB, acct #, ref. physician, etc.)
Anyone have a similar problem as posted above?
Screen shot
Can someone tell me how to make a screen shot of whatever is on my computer screen? Sometimes it helps to have a screen shot when contacting the IT department for help.
Lagging screen
Have already checked with them. I have my own new computer and don't use any of theirs.
DQS demo screen
I find that I write down the MR# or billing number, then just search using the patients name and can get a whole slew of choices.
You can try just the first 2 letters of the last name if not sure on spelling.
When you have the right choice, the MR# will pull in when you pull the right name in. HTH
demo screen
same here, too. and to think we don't get paid for that either!!
Full screen
No, it's not in full screen mode. You're right, though, I was hitting Ctl not Alt for a while. Have tried Alt V and nothing happens.
I did find something in MS Help online, but it requires that I start the machine in Safe Mode. The PC locks up now when I get to the dos program where I would select Safe Mode.
Thanks for all the help. So far I've tried all the suggestions and nothing has worked yet.
I'm about ready to light a match to this machine, I tell ya!!
screen prior
I would say something like I would like to ask ome questions prior to sending in a resume and testing as I feel this saves time on both sides. A concern is: _____ and also the low rates offered and the formula used to figure the payrate. Get it out of the way, don't waste time, some are down to 4 and 5 cents/line for MTs. Less than 10 is not acceptable and even with that, it sure is not good by the time you figure the hourly rate and just what skill is expected/given and under what terms, I have seen 99.5 accuracy expected. When these bad terms are turned down by the MTs it will not turn around.
Cleaning your screen
Never use windex it will mess up the screen and good. Water is okay, but not the best. I use Klear screen. You can order it on e-bay fairly cheep. It is recommended by all computer industries for both laptops and regular desktop screens. It is awesome.
If it is typing on the screen, then it should not
be a problem, just the same as if you use AutoCorrect or an abreviation expander. You are NOT after all bringing in text from another word processer...you are creating text on the screen you see.
If you look at the bar on the bottom of your screen SM
while having your mouse pointer over the image in the email, you will notice it is a "snapshot" of an ebay page and the buttons that you would normally click on are part of the picture. Basically clicking anywhere on that image will take you to the site listed in the information bar at the bottom of your screen It is always an aol hometown site in the scam ones I get. I just got an ebay one recently where it had similar language- basically harassing me to pay for something. I think it is written that way to startle you into clicking right away to take care of "the problem".
If the Chinese government can go after dissidents through Yahoo, why can we not get these scam artists that set up their scam sites through AOL? I know, I know, that was just a rhetorical question.
Drug Screen
Well, I thought that you listed drugs you too also, but they said it didn't matter. If anything at all came up they wouldn't let me have the job. I even showed them the bottle in my purse, and they said it just didn't matter, legal drugs or otherwise. Oh well, lesson learned I guess. Thanks for response.
kind of screen
geez, i have no idea. It feels like glass. Its just a clunky old-style monitor.
What screen colors do you use?
What screen colors are easiest on your eyes? I read somewhere that shades of lavender/purple actually caused the least eye strain. (I'm assuming no color blindness!) I've been using black text on white background for a long time, but I'm getting old, the bifocals slip on my face, and I'm trying new colors. Just wondering what colors most MTs use to prevent eye strain.
screen color
Is that the color the company you work for gave you? Tech support should be able to change it for you. Mine is blue with white print. Much easier on the eyes. I had one where the preview page was yellow, gosh awful yellow!
I have a flat screen already, but sm
it is small. I would like to go larger. Thanks for posting. This answers my questions as well. Didn't know if bigger is always better, but sounds like it works well for others.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Flat screen!
I have a 19 inch flat screen and love it! Once you get a flat screen you will never go back! Also the weight difference betwen them is huge! To can pick up that flat screen and move it around anywhere you like. Would highly recommend. PS. I have a Westinghouse 19 inch, and I would recommend a 19 to 21 incher!
Well, it may not be on the MR, but it is on the demo screen (at least for me) SM
where I work.
it is usually because they used it in a smaller screen
Open it up, click on the large square in the upper right hand corner next to the X for closing it, so that it is enlarged. Then close it, and it should open to the full screen the next time. Most all software will open in the same size that it was closed in the last time. Hope this helps.
Screen blank for me too.

screen size
Does anyone know how to change the size of your screen size so the text will larger. I saw this a couple weeks ago on how to do it and forget to write it down. I know it was either alt or control and some other key.
Thanks!!
Screen in 2 parts, need only 1
let me state over as maybe someone knows how to get out.
2 computers one screen
How would I run 2 computers on one screen? TIA.
okay, I did (screen shot) and I sent it.....
to the person who had responded to my original question and asked her to address this. Thank you for providing the link. It will be interesting to see how they respond to this one. I am so naive; I expect everyone to play fair and be nice, and obviously they don't. Where she makes the comment about "imposters here" and she would rather have someone else qualified in India handle her record, I told her I think their focus should be on making sure everyone here IS qualified and not making sure the Indian workers are qualified. Like I said, it will be interesting to see how they respond. I will keep you posted on it if people are interested in hearing their answer.
flat screen
I have a 19" flat screen monitor and I love it to pieces !
Screen colors
Changing screen colors through the control panel will not change anything on any other computer. That's just nonsense.
Your coworkers sound as though they changed the font color and background color ON THE DOCUMENT itself using the formatting commands. That's the only way a change would transfer with the document itself.
Changing it with Barb's method will give you a glaring blue background with white text. You can't get aqua that way.
You can change your colors in Windows. Start, Control Panel, Display, then choose a color scheme in Desktop. Get as close as you can with one of the ones provided, then adjust the color of the background. You can invent your own if you're not happy with any you see there.
Software comes with built-in instructions now. Just click "help" on the toolbar.
screen magnifiers
Does anyone use a screen magnifier? I'd like to know if they work well and which one is the best. I am using bayscribe/radnet. Changing font in windows doesn't work for radnet. Would appreciate any help.
Seeing the screen was my drawback...
working outside, but I found a screen cover (similar to a privacy screen at a bank) that allows me to see in sunlight. I have a second keyboard & mouse for my laptop and wireless internet connection, so all I need now is a second footpedal, and I have 2 complete systems to transcribe on. I find being outside when the weather is pleasant keeps me more alert and is definitely a nice change of scenery...which definitely makes me more productive.
Would think a 10" screen would make it

Who is your employer? What is a TES screen?
There is a Print Screen Button..
at the top line of your keyboard. Press it and then go to your Windows paint and > Edit > Paste it there.
Capture/Print Screen
Another option is to hold down the "ALT" key and then press the "PRT SCR" key, then open a document (Word or whatever) and Click "Paste"... this will insert a picture of the screen into your document, which you can then save for future reference. Hope this helps. /bah
Current screen saver
Mine is a black background with floating bananas...yes really, floating bananas. heehee
That's why I keep it open at the bottom of my screen

Might need to reboot or resize your screen. nm

Look over to the left side of your screen..
Good luck.
There used to be screen shots on their web site.
Haven't been there in years but even back then it was impressive. Google Instant Text and I'm sure you will find them.
Maybe a bamboo screen or a curtain?
it's an apartment, huh? If you don't like screens or pretty fabric as a curtain, maybe a beaded curtain? Or if you are handy or have someone to help you, you could create a false wall that would be sturdy but wouldn't make a permanent change in the apartment (unless the landlord wouldn't mind) and you could paint your side however you like and paint the child's side with whatever he would like (maybe even let him do some on his own). Good luck.
OMG, almost spewed coffee on screen.LOL-nm

Have you tried adjusting your monitor screen sm
up or down a hair or two? I bought a new monitor for Christmas and had headaches for a week before I realized it needed to go up about 1/4-1/2 inch. I moved it and the headaches went away. Just a thought.
blue screen of death
I'm not sure if he went back to myspace a second time, I'll have to ask him. Thanks for all the help. I got it at Best Buy so I think I'll take it back there and see what they have to say also. I just don't want him away at college and have the darn thing crashing all the time. It's not like you can just keep buying new ones at that price!
21 wide screen and I love it!! (nm)
