Service Pack 3
Service pack 3 does not work with my spell check. Does anyone know how I can keep this thing from downloading on my computer?
DQS XP home Service pack 2
Hi there. I have a new computer and run XP home edition which contains service pack 2 and have never had a problem with DQS. My brother, however, ADDED service pack 2 to his older XP professional edition and had nothing but problems and eventually took it off. However, he downloads music and stuff and doesn't really know if the service pack was the problem. (He is not a transcriptionist, so no DQS info there.)
Hi! I'm the one who never has had a glitch, and I'm on XP with service pack 2! Maybe that's
Honestly, it is the fastest smoothest platform one could imagine - seamless, really. Never a problem - sound quality is perfect. I hate to say that, cause I'm not a MQ devotee, but the platform is truly awesome!
Remove Service Pack 3 and go back to
Service Pack 2. I had nothing but trouble with my computer with SP3. I do not have automatic downloads turned on. I go over to the microsoft.com website occasionally and see what is new for downloading. I choose the custom settings so I know exactly what is being uploaded.
Start
Control Panel
Add or Remove Programs
Find SP3 and remove it.
Norton Internet Security 2009 and Service Pack 2 or 3??
I am having a heck of a time! I have Windows XP and just purchased Norton Internet Security 2009 for my antivirus, as my previous version is just about to expire. Upon installing it it says I have to install Service Pack 2 or higher for it to work. I never installed SP2 because I read that many, many had problems with it. Should I go ahead and download SP3? Is there anything I need to do before installing it? I'm thinking of taking the computer to a professional and having them download SP3 and install it for me because it makes me really nervous! Anyone have any experience with this? What should I do?
Thanks!
No such luck. The tech wants me to update to the XP service pack 2, but I've heard that can be tr

We have decided to add this to our current service not have a new service. It will be easier to sm
keep track of and will just be a different department.
It looks like we will work out details over the next 6 months, talking with community college program directors as well as a few of the distance-learning course leaders to work on the recruiting end.
We will train current staff to mentor if they would like to do so and want to work in the office.
We are still working on production requirements, goals to set, pay, benefits and other fine details but we have 6 months to get it all in place with three months to pull it together after that with a tentative start date of 09/01/06. We need to build the building as well, although that is already at the blueprint stage in a spot next to our current office.
We did not want to cause flames and bashing by listing the company name as there are always so many negative people on this site, but we are national with over 200 transcriptionists, located outside of Chicago (40 miles west) and have the best team of transcriptionists around!
We will have an "official" announcement after the first of the new year.
Thank you for all of your feedback and suggestions!
I would say pack up and run as far as you can! sm
This guy sounds like my ex-husband. I'm only hoping you don't have children.
My ex is bipolar, OCD, etc., etc., but there was never anything wrong with him. It was always everyone elses fault. I got tired of keeping the perfect little house, the perfect little yard, making sure that he was okay, making sure his eggs were perfectly cooked just right in the middle, and that the kids were okay when daddy was in "one of his moods."
When he started having an attitude with the kids (at ages 5 and 2), I finally filed for divorce. His "punishment" for me has been telling the kids that they are "worthless" because they have me for a mother and that I am "insane". When they started going through their early teen years he just stopped talking to them because they did not live up to his "expectations."
He never went to counseling, but my kids did for many years. He told everyone that his kids were in counseling because their mother was insane. Of course nobody believed him. I see his mom and his sisters out and about a lot (small town). I don't say anything about my ex because I know that it is his family, but they will occasionally say, "Well, you know how he is."
Now he lives alone now in his perfect little house with the perfect little yard and has nobody to cook his perfect eggs. Friends, family, dozens of perfect girlfriends, and his own kids finally gave up on him a long time ago. Even the cat ran away. :)
Pack and run if the "boyfriend" (obviously noncommittal to your relationship) doesn't get help.
Good luck to you.
one can short of a six pack! nm
I would tell them to pack sand
With an attitude from a doctor like that, I would refuse to do his work. There is plenty of other work out there, and there are plenty of other MTs out there. I'm sure the doctor could find someone willing to put up with his crap and I could find someone willing to show some courtesy and respect for my time. Again, I admit I am living under a rock, but I just don't see why it has to be so difficult, and why we should have to put up with so much nonsense. We are all human beings, allegedly on the same team, so why can't we work together? Is it a power struggle? If it is, I'll lose becuase I don't need to be the bigger person; I need to be able to understand the dictator so I can transcribe the report.
Yes - hubby is the pack rat. I throw everything that is not being used out.
After I read the newspaper, it is in the trash. Nothing sits around. Hubby would save everything; however, he works shift work, so when he is at work, I toss things in the trast. My home is neat and clean and everything is in its place all of the time!
Taught my 2 teens to be the same way - Love neat and clean and organized!
My home is not enjoyable if crap is everywhere - in my opinion.
Same here. I just pack my keyboard and plug it in.
There is no way I could be productive on a standard laptop keyboard.
Is there anything that could be changed so it works better with Windows XP and Svc. Pack 2. What a
pain this thing is.
he has been smoking on and off 1 pack of cigarettes for 5 years.
should be good for him.
Wouldn't that pack get stale or something, yuck!
tee hee, that's just frugal I think.
You need to download the conversion pack from Microsoft
website and then you should be able to convert your documents. Not sure if it will convert from Word 2003 or 2007 to WP5.1; however, WP5.1 can be converted to Word 2003 and higher.
I certainly hope no one in your family ever needs defending. You might pack up and leave them too.

I am so sorry to hear this. I also had a close call with a pack of dogs.
These dogs were a very different breed. They were a spitz type (similar in type to my sweet Siberians, but not of the peaceful pack type). The dogs look like huge Shiba Inus, but when they came at my through the tall grass, it looked like we were being hunted by a pack of hyenas. Four or five of them slipped right through a flimsy excuse for a fence and surrounded me and my two dogs. Thank goodness I was there and was able to keep a cool head to bellow at those dogs to stay back as I stood between my dogs and the pack and we backed away, back to the street. Thankfully some men had heard my initial screams and came out of their yards to meet us. It took a lot of phone calls from me and other people living nearby to force her to give up those dogs. They killed one small dog in the neighborhood and had a child cornered, too. I notice this lady replaced the dogs since with some bigger dogs. Some people don't deserve to have dogs.
I am so sorry for your loss. Do whatever is necessary to secure that fence - we had to bury chicken wire around ours to keep our escape artists in, but it's worth it.
Do get pictures of those monsters outside the owner's property. That was important where we live. You might also want to put up warning signs near the owner's property warning of her dangerous dogs, with photos. Maybe that will embarrass her. Go around and collect stories about these dogs from neighbors, and have them sign the descriptions of their experiences. Then mail those in to animal control with the pictures. If that doesn't do it, call the news station and get them to come and see for themselves.
We mingle with pit bulls at the dog park here, but these are well-socialized dogs. If they ever start acting inappropriate, these owners haul them out quickly, but it's pretty rare they have to.
I'm sorry that should den of lions or pack of wolves. Gotta get the terminology right!

My conversation with you is over. You sound worse than a pack of 6th grade girls.

Bag of frozen peas for a cold pack and heat up dry rice in a sock for a hot one. Ah...nm

Exercise isn't the issue here, him lifting leg in house is. Bye, Bye, Pooch, pack your bags.nm

Yeah..call me crazy but I pack it in bubble wrap and pillows..You'd be going a little further so
As far as a laptop, it's a hassle, but you can take that in a carryon bag so you know it would be knocked around. The worst part is that you have to take it out everytime you go through security at the airports but it isnt bad. I just ordered a laptop today so I can start taking that and retire my desktop..that is as long as this new adapter I just bought works like others say it will. My husband is bascially retired and I hated that he could travel without me so I quit my in-house jobs to go home this year doing transcription and now that summer is here and our little one is out of school, we're off and running. Vegas this month, then Calfornia the next..etc... I love this job!!!
My telephone service is VOIP, but it s through my cable service, along with my cable internet. .
We have had VOIP for about a year now and I love it. I really can't tell a difference in traditional service, except the price. One of the best calls of my life was to Bellsouth to cancel our service!
NO, this sounds like good training. Dogs are low rank pack members of any family,

Asked on the drug board...ever heard of a T-Teck Pack for pneumonia? Cant find any info on it. Help!
I am not asking for a service, I AM the service looking for recorders

{@KEY BkSp}-pack-per-year is for Shorthand. Using the semicolon works with both Shorthand and
;yo = -year-old
;py= -pack-year
etc...
Pack years = packs smoked per day x years of smoking - sm
25 pack-years = 25 years of 1 pack a day, or 12-1/2 years of 2 packs a day.
I don't think pack-years applies to someone who smokes only cigars. But I don't know for sure.
Can they do surgery extra fast? What do they do with the extra glove in the pack?
;+
It is a service job and they should
help parents with small children and also the elderly. I think a normal healthy person with "more than a bag or 2" should not have them help them out to the car. It causes the cashier to have to bag, therefore delaying the progression of the line.
PS on Cox service
Did anyone ever receive any surprise charges from Cox, as this is what I plan to use to offer online service to others, i.e., long distance, etc.?
Do you have your own service? I ask because
that it is possible, especially since she has some educational background in the medical field. I certainly would not waste money on an MT course in this day and age (at least not if I am gauging the career opportunities available to MTs by what is said on this board).
I am NOT saying that just anyone can sit down and type, and being an MT is as easy as that. We all know that it is not. However, I was able to break into the field almost seven years ago by having a mentor from a local transcription company (I am in GA too, btw). If you are planning to provide her with work and review her work, provide feedback, etc., then there is no reason why she cannot do it, unless she is just not cut out for it, which you would both know pretty quickly. If she is cut out for it, then it sounds like it could be a great opportunity for both of you, if you are wanting to grow your business. If you are not going to do this for her, she will likely have a really hard time finding a job, unless someone else is willing to do so, and if you are working for someone other than yourself, then you likely do not receive a high enough rate to be able to pay her a decent wage and still earn something for editing/mentoring. (Certainly not saying that you don't -- I obviously have no idea what you make, but not many people who are transcribing for others make enough to share that way :).)
My service is actually going to be (sm)
Comcast here in the next couple weeks. Verizon is offering a 30-day free trial. In the meantime I will keep my cable internet just in case I'm not happy with Verizon. My cable internet service has been very frustrating for me, as far as not being available at least once a week for a couple of hours, always during my normal working hours. So, I guess it's worth a try.
ASP Service
Finally :-)I am negotiating with one doctor to be my direct client. For that I need some ASP service where he can dial in as toll free and I can get dictations thru FTP. Anyone please recommend some best ASP with minimum per line cost & reliable. Thx!
do you still do this service?
If so, are you happy without the middle man? Right now I don't have extra money to fall back on so maybe I should work PT with my present company and try do 1 account for now until I feel comfortable doing my own.
So what service do
you use for your car?
Could you tell me what the name of the service is?
You know, if it's "AT&T Small Business Plan" or something. I just want to ask for the right thing. About how much do you pay total for it? Thanks so much for the help!
Which service you are using?
I am interested, if it's .07/min.
Every service does it different.
I have found what is correct with one account, is wrong with another. Also, I try to give them what they want. They hired me for my help with their work and they are the boss. If I feel I am making good money, they can have it the way they want. If they want to be that picky, go ahead, as long as it is worth the money for me.
Have been looking into another service as well (sm)
I have Comcast and it is on and off sometimes, depends on if they are working on it. I am dreading the winter weather, because its out more than its on it seems. I looked into FiOS with Verizon, it is not available here yet, but their high speed is and they want a 2 year contract. Won't go that route to lock myself into something I may not be happy with, if u find something, let me know, but Comcast isn't the answer in Bucks County area
I don't know if it's possible with a service. nm

How's that for service?
A strange thing happened today. My husband, who is a hospital-employed MT who works at home, got a phone call from a doc at the hospital. It seems the dictation system was down, but he needed to dictate. He proceeded to dictate over the telephone while hubby transcribed. He dictated both an H&P and an OP note.
It was strange, but kinda cool. 
LD Service
You may want to try magicJack (visit www.magicjack.com) - the service is $20 per year for unlimited long distance. Phone plugs into your PC via USB port.
For the fax service on your
computer, you have to pay a monthly fee which can add up. If you do a lot of faxing, it may pay off. If you do not fax often, just buy a fax machine. Bought one for $39 recently, saved 70% at new egg.
AT&T is the worst service, but what else do you
expect. It is all handled by those dumb east indians that think they have everyone fooled by making up American names.
Not in the service but hubby is...sm
Im sorry that your husband is in such a mess but there are other ways of handling it. My husband is just finishing up a 20-year career and I know very well the things that go on. Your husband should have used his chain of command...that is what it is there for. My guess is he will get a court martial, probably go to the brig for a while, and get a dishonorable discharge.
Okay to work for more than one service.
Is it okay to work for more than one service at a time? Do you have to be IC to do that, or can you mix and match with employee status? Is a small service better to work for, generally, than a national? If you work for a clinic can you also work for a service at the same time? Thanks for any input.
Working for more than one service.
Thanks for all the input. I appreciate the help. I don't like to put all my eggs in one basket.
Sale of MT service
Can you please post contact info? Possibly very intereted here. Thanks
Looking for dependable DSL service
I have had Adelphia and now have Bellsouth both with connection problems. It seems everytime I turn around my internet is down and not in my area but with my puter. I have to use Bellsouth webmail cause my outlook is always getting hung up. I call and they have to set me up with a new ISP# to get connected again. Very frustrated. Anyone out there have a good DSL to recommend. TYIA.
