You could just enlarge all type in your monitor resolution. nm

I used windex wipes and my monitor is just fine. Read that somewhere in my books. nt

Mine is fine....
But about a week ago it was totally messed up. Maybe yours is having a delayed reaction. 
Mine is working just fine.
I can use internet with just fine with mine, (nm)

It sounds fine to me.
The only thing I would do is get rid of the "she" in the "and she is out" part of it.
Really? I never save mine in .rft, only .doc, & they are counted just fine.

Not necessarily...mine are older and I do fine as I mentioned above.
For toddlers...a great way to deal with it is to get them one of those "kid computers" and a stack of paper to draw on..as well as other activities (leap pad) and put them right next you at a desk.
Mine is working fine and turning purple...

The thing is though my fine print with ATT said it could not be used for
autodialing, dialing into the internet, commercial faxing, and one other thing. I can't remember what the other thing was but it wasn't anything I was using it for. They even listed those four things over and over, and I told them I didn't use it for any of those things. They also tried to tell me I was transmitting data over my phone line. I wasn't. I was dialing into a voice line. I got tired of arguing with them too. How can argue w/them when they keep saying you're dialing into the internet when you know you're not? I guess they have to lie about something, right, because they can't tell you you're using too many minutes if it's UNLIMITED. I just think it stinks. Hopefully it will work out for all of us!
I am happy with mine...the price was right and it works just fine. No need for pricey laptops IMO.

It should be fine. I was told the same thing about old versus new puter and nothing

Your hubby sounds like mine LOL
I try really hard not to laugh at him, but sometimes I really can't help it. Watching a grown man throw a temper tantrum over what in reality is the equivolent of "spilt milk" is really humorous. My teenagers behave better than the grown man does.
Your husband sounds just like mine! sm
Except for the weight issue, they could be twins! He often makes comments that I never do anything with him. But he always wants me to drop everything in the middle of the day to go run errands, go out to lunch, etc. When I finally give in, a trip I thought was going to take 30 minutes ends up taking 3 hours cos he just wants to do this little thing and that little thing. I get so frustrated with him! His job is a prn type job, where he could work 80 hours in 4 days then be off the next 2 weeks straight. Of course, when he's home he thinks everyone else should be just as free as he is. I keep telling him he needs to get a job that makes him as miserable as I am! :) (I'm not really -- I love being an MT)
I wish I had some helpful advice for you, but unfortunately I'm in the same boat!
Your experience sounds exactly like mine...
I do QA for one account, as well as I am an MT... I try so hard to encourage people but some of them just do not care, et cetera...My boss has told me several times that the MTs think I have a good attitude and they think I am doing a good job, so that makes me feel good also...
Buying a new computer and cant decide on LCD monitor or regular monitor. Any opinions out there. The
LCD is 325.00 with 1 year warranty.
Mine does the same thing - sm
I work in the BR and in order for him to sleep have a desk lamp which is up on top of my hutch, which has an adjustment arm which I can push up/pull down so the light is only on my desk, it also has 3 settings, so it is on low when he is in bed. I need light, he does not understand that and thinks the monitor should be enough light, but this is the compromise we worked out and it works for us. Lack of light causes eye strain, which in turn will give you a headache; so I would say it is better to have some light!
Sounds like a friend of mine - he is now her ex-husband - sm
though, even though "the sex is great", she'd say the same thing. She worked outside the home but was expect to cook a full evening meal from scratch every night (breakfast and lunch on the weekends as well as dinner), no frozen foods, kits, etc. , plus take care of 2 kids, dog, bird, lizards, etc. and of course keep an immaculate house, while servicing him every day. Things got so bad (he has quite a temper) that her kids actually asked her to divorce him, that is sad when that has to happen. But they are now away from Mr. Controlling and much happier. The daughter refuses to see her dad, granted my friend had to pull his teeth to get him to actually see the kids per the visitation at first (2 weekends a month was it), now he is all mad 7 years later that his daughter hates his guts, granted she is 16 now so that has something to do with it too (other than him being a total jerk). He would hold the child support hostage too, so if he was mad her wouldn't give it to her even though he knew she really needed it to make ends meet; so she went to the state and had it set up to be garnished directly so she did not have to "ask" for her support check anymore.....needless to say he was quite tee'd off when she did that. Things are better now but he is still a jerk. They do try to be civil to each other and work as a united front with the kids. Amazingly he has stayed single and has not sucked some other poor woman into his web. -- But you can't do it all. I have not had a night out for probably 18 months, but I do get out every now and then, but my husband definitely has lots of freedom but I don't begrude him as he cooks dinner every day, takes care of the kids as soon as he gets home from work so I can finish up my work or get started on the next day's allotment. He might gripe some but he does help a lot and he knows I do. You need to get yours to get off his butt and help out. As for a 2-day trip, next time just do it like you are tonight. He and the kids will live and maybe he will learn something. My husband had NEVER had the kids to take care of alone until 7/2004 when my mom got sick. I went up to be with her before and after her open-heart surgery. He had them for about 3-4 days, then I came home and took them back up with me a week or so later. He lived. The kids lived, and I think he learned, hey I can do this if I have too. You need to do the same thing (and then hope you don't come home to a mess of a house!). Good luck.
Mine is definitely Taylor. He does his own thing and if he doesn't win
he'll be regularly employed that's for sure.
Sounds like a good place, where you work! BTW: the other 2 posts are not mine
Somebody is cloning my username now and posting. Guess on a board like this anyone can troll. So, I guess I will change my username again, so as not to be taken the wrong way. Wow, people really have a lot of time on their hands!
This whole thing just sounds bizarre. NM

Wow... sounds like it might be a good thing ! -sm
It also makes me wonder about talking to MY vet. She's at a large clinic near my home. As vets see more and more patients, and the procedures become more complicated, maybe that's a new job possibility for some of us. If you take the job, I hope you'll keep us posted on what it's like, etc. Good luck!
sorry, i didn't read your post before I posted mine...says the same thing, pretty much! :) nm

Just received mine Saturday. More or less the same thing we were emailed last week. Kind of repeated
that. Just curious about benefits for SE. Never heard of that. The letter might have been a little more explicit about things but still nothing on what the pay plan is.
Maybe its your resolution?
its fine for me.
NY resolution
All I want for new Year's is a brand new job.
My resolution is...
My New Years resolution is to remember birthdays and anniversaries better. I've never been one to make a huge deal out of birthdays/anniversaries and I'm terrible at remembering when they are so my resolution is to change that. I set up a little system for myself so that I can remember ahead of time to send a card or gift depending on who it is so hopefully this will help me out. I can understand the weight resolution but since that's always my resolution I figured I'd try something different for a change. 
resolution
The other day I was chatting with someone I have "known" for several years through a social chat room. She asked me what I did for a living and I told her I was a medical transcriptionist. She said "what is that?" so I explained briefly. She asked if I worked at home and I told her yes. She replied that she had a daughter who was looking for work and she wondered if that would work for her. Ok, maybe it's just me, but I am really tired of ppl thinking they can do MT work because they want to work from home. My resolution for 2009 is to not tell people that I work from home. I realize this is ridiculous but I just get really frustrated at times. How about you?
Temporary resolution
I scanned the SOAP sheet and can print it out (and it looks very good) and then use the sheets I have printed to print the first page of transcription on and the office is okay with this, at least for now. The MA will have to transfer the info from the original SOAP sheet header/template to the one I return with the transcription. I feel bad that I am causing the MAs more work but we all agreed that this seems to be the simplest way to go. It will actually save them money not having to purchase the sheets from the printing co. any longer at least. :) Money always talks, ya know. :D
My new year's resolution is to ... (s/m)
quit my crappy on-site transcription job, where I have worked for far too long and been treated like dirt for too many years, and take a job with a national so I can work at home and get a little peace & quiet.
Not resolution but appearance--this is what you need. sm
You don't want to full with the resolution of your computer as that is based on the type of video card inside your computer and you could end up having to reinstall your video software. I interpreted your message to mean that you had a smaller moonitor before you got the 19 inch one, so your icons, lettering, etc., are much smaller now that you went to the larger monitor, which will happen.
To fix this so you can work without straining your eyes, right click on your desktop, choose Properties, then choose Appearance. You will see Scheme and it may have Windows Standard or Windows Classic selected. You will need to select either Windows Standard Extra Large or Classic Extra Large for now--so you can work. Later, you can customize the settings exactly the way you want them for the icon bars, menu bars, text in your documents, etc. I hope this helps!
Changed the resolution....sm
I found a website that said to try increasing the resolution on the monitor. Since mine was at the highest available resolution already, I decided to go down in resolution....And so....voila....my desktop now fits on my whole monitor screen. However, now my resolution is less, and so everything is blurry.
So fixed the main problem, now another....but at least everything is on the screen now!!
why would the resolution change without someone changing it?
nm
Could it be 'sacral high-resolution' ? - nm
.
I truly hope that you get some resolution to this. ((Hugs to you, my dear.))
xx
slide the little slider where it says screen resolution. sm
you may want to play with it to get the size you want. i have mine at 1280 by 1024 pixels.
Restore System or lower resolution did it for me sm
I got a new monitor that wouldn't work in Word so I set it to the old, smaller resolution and it works in Word just fine now. On another computer Restore System fixes absolutely everything, saves my life over and over again!
Funny! Mine is almost as large, and I don't mind cleaning mine!
It's no problem at all. Besides, I'll take lots of oodles of square footage any day of the week over living in a sardine can!
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?
Are you a monitor here?

I luv my LCD monitor
Not much to assemble. It's really a matter of popping the two cords into the back of the monitor. It'll take you about 15 minutes from start to finish ... that includes opening the box, taking out everything, reading the directions, connecting the monitor, installing the software), and throwing the box out.
monitor
If you use your computer a lot, plan on buying a lot of batteries or having a backup for a wireless with a charger.
As for monitors, you can get them on pricewatch pretty cheap now. I actually bought my son a 21 inch Sony on ebay for 200 including shipping. For my own 19 inch, I bought it at a rent-to-own furniture store. Once they have them a few months, they sell them and I bought it for 40. and it's like new.
Monitor
Yes! Yes! Yes! I recently got a flat-screen and I love,love, love it. I have a Sceptre which I bought at Wal-Mart for about $150.00. Best thing I ever did. It really cut down on my headaches. Get a flat-screen. You will not be sorry. I promise. :)
Well I DO need a big monitor...
these days. After hitting 40, my eyesight definitely isn't what it used to be, LOL!
monitor
i used to have this happen, and with mine, it was not a precursor to going out. But i can't remember what supposedly caused it -- power surge, interference?? but in my case, led to no other problems.
Monitor......
Buy a shield or screen for the monitor that minimizes glare from the lightsource.
Need help with monitor
I recently had a monitor conk out, so I got the one out that came with my personal computer (a couple years old but never used).
Everything was fine for a few weeks but lately, out of the blue, my page will shift to the right for no apparent reason (leaving 1-1/2 inch of black on the left and the right edge of the page not in view) and then it will shift back at some point.
When I press on the monitor menu button, nothing happens at all. I know when I first set it up, the menu and selections worked fine.
Any idea what is happening here?
Do you use more than one monitor?...
My husband and I "built" our new computer on Dell's website last night, and they are offering a second monitor for a very reasonable rate. My question is, does anyone have this set-up using 2 monitors to work? I didn't quite see the use for 2, but maybe to have one just for typing, and the other for my references?
Apparently, it is set up that you just have to move your mouse and it will move over to the other screen....seems easy enough. But, I don't know if it would be worth the extra space it would take up on my desk and work area. So,does anyone have this set-up and consider it a must?
Thanks very much for your help!
What monitor do you have?
This has nothing to do with the monitor...sm
It's about how the page will be printed:
Portrait or Landscape.
Click on 'File'
Click on 'Page Set Up'
Then you have the option: Portrait or Landscape, click how you want it printed.
Portrait prints it vertical
Landscape horizontal (for longer lines)
Cat sits on monitor.
