You can switch Vista to XP, but then you can't switch it back to Vista is what
I understand. I've known several MTs dump Vista and they didn't have any issues.
Vista
Hi Tera, I know what you mean. I have been looking on and off for 2 1/2 years. One thing then another. It's the computer or not passing employment test. I haven't tried Focus yet.
I wish you good luck with everything.
Take care,
Barbara
Vista vs. XP
I am starting a new job, and I need to have XP for it to be compatible with the transcription platform. I am wondering, is this the case most of the time for transcription work, or are there a lot of MTs using Vista? My options at this point are either pay to have my Vista wiped off my brand new laptop and pay to have someone install XP (which may or may not function with all the bells and whistles on this thing), buy an older XP computer, use my old outdated dinosaur computer that has XP on it already, or trade my new laptop for a business class one that has preinstalled XP with the option to upgrade to vista. I don't want to do any of these, and no matter which one I choose, it will be expensive (with the exception of using my dinosaur). So, what I am wondering is this: Do most MTs have to use XP? Are there many platforms/companies which run fine on Vista? Am I wasting my time an money downgrading, or will this be something that I will need anyways? Any information on this subject is appreciated. 
getting rid of vista
Unfortunately, I already tried this (took it to a place to have Vista removed and replaced with XP), and they screwed up my computer, long story...Anyways, I have been researching it for 2 days now, and this model of computer has issues with XP, because they do not make the drivers for it. I appreciate your input anyways. I guess you sort of answered my question anyways, that in general, Vista is often unacceptable for the MT world.
Vista vs. XP
InfraWare works on VISTA. An ASP will continue to develop as Microsoft does if it is cutting edge technology.
Vista so far so good
I just got a new computer with Vista last night. My Inscribe platform works fine with it.
Change Vista To XP
Has anyone bought a Vista and then had the operating system changed to XP because you found out that Vista was not compatible with the MT world. Was it O.K. ? I am such an idit LOL !
Thanks for your help!

computer without vista
I purchased a new dell laptop about 6 months ago and was able to get it with Windows XP. I would also recommend if you go that route that you elect to have Word 2003 rather than the newer Word 2007 installed on it as it is getting very difficult to find Word 2003 anymore and it is very expensive.

vista and word
Bring the computer back if you can and have them install windows XP....I have found that 99.9% of companies are non-vista compatible. Also, try to get Word 2003...most companies want that are not once again not compatible with Word 2007.
First step is get rid of Vista -

Vista versus XP
I recently started working for another company and the computer tech is EXTREMELY knowledgeable when it comes to platforms and such. I was informed that Vista is basically another version of Windows ME which, most people know, was a HORRID version of Windows and Microsoft is planning on coming out with yet another operating system early next year.
I have also done internet research and there are posts regarding the fact that you can partition your hard drive to where you can have both XP and Vista running on the computer, however, in my opinion, that is best handled by an expert and not something that anyone should attempt on their own without extensive computer knowledge.
Right now, I would say your best bet would be to try to find a computer with XP on it as far as a laptop, or if you can hold out, stick with the dinosaur for a bit longer. Also, it may help to get registry fix programs etc, many of which are free and extremely good programs and might help to optimize the older computer in terms of speed, etc.
I have both Vista and XP pro on my desktop. sm
The people I got my new computer from said that the big thing with Vista vs XP is that with Vista you need LOTS more RAM or something like that.
Our computer came with Vista pre-installed but because we got more speed and a major amount of memory and a video card with its own RAM, he was able to put XP pro on with Vista. I am not tech-savvy at all, so I was more than happy to have them do it.
Another place you might want to try is www.komando.com She ROCKS!!! She is my major source for questions etc.
If you can, use your old computer. It might be slow, but as long as it gets your job done, that's what counts. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.
I don't have Vista, but usualy you need to unzip the
program first. I use winzip, don't know if Vista has something built in, but go to the help section and type in unzip files and see if that helps.
Vista/XP word 07/2000?
Hello,
Can anyone tell me which operation system is best for MTs and also which word 2000 - 2007 which one is best. I would appreciate anyone to settle my confusion! I have Vista and ready to take it back to the store to have XP put on it. What do you think.
Thanks,
TT
You can still get a VISTA-free computer
from Tiger Direct if you ask. At least I got one not too long ago.
I use Vista just fine with Bayscribe..nm

Who hires new MTs?
Hi, I'm a new MT and also cannot find a company to hire me. I am finding that, without schooling and no job, I'm losing some of the skills I have previously learned because there is no repetition. I also cannot get hired when I do pass a test, and the college I attended did not inform anyone that we would not be able to land a job once we graduated unless we had 1-2 years of experience. I did do an externship at a hospital an hour away from where I live and I was given great reviews of the work I did there. Their budget wouldn't allow them to hire another MT, and I don't care to travel dangerous snow-covered roads in the dead of winter in rural Maine if I could have gotten a job there. I did walk away with a fantastic reference source which also doesn't seem to matter. I am also a member of a national honor society. I loved doing MT work and it is something I can see myself doing until I'm older and grayer. I am wondering if new MTs will have to wait until all the old time MTs retire before we can land a job!! I think transcription companies are losing out by not hiring new energetic ready-to-go educated MTs who take pride in this line of work! I know we all will need a little mentoring, but it will pay off in leaps and bounds for the companies who are looking for help!
Who hires new...
Yeah, but there are companies who have mentoring programs for MT Grads in which you do work from home.
Need help opening a compressed file with Vista

Any mentor programs that requir Vista
I have Vista and cant' find a Mentor program that is compatable with Vista. Can anyone help?

who hires newbies?
I am a recent graduate from our community college and I have been looking for at-home work for a few months now. I am determined to make this work for me, but finances are running low and I am a bit discouraged. What companies hire new graduates?
Sten-Tel hires NEW MTs!!
If any new MTs are looking for employment. Sten-Tel, Inc. has an externship program that hires new graduates. Go to their website and type in the word "careers" in the search engine and it well tell you about the externship program.
I graduated in June of 2005 and got hired on with Sten-Tel October of 2005.
Send me a post if you would like more info.
Otherwise you may have a decline in new hires.

MediVoxx hires new MTs
Go to their website and take the online test. Good luck!
Who hires new graduates?
Can anyone give me some ideas on who hires new graduates? I'm having no luck.....
When your doctor hires you . . .
When your doctor hires you, come back and tell us. Historically, pretty much nobody prefers AHP graduates. Few doctors have ever heard of AHP and other employers shudder at the name.
You should brush up on spelling, grammar, and punctuation. It's "prefer," not "perfer" and there should be a comma before "too."
This whole series of posts looks like advertising spam from AHP. The "I love" and short, choppy, "rah-rah" sentences give it away.
In any event, a good course would have supplied everything, so you wouldn't have had to buy extra dictation. Would have had teachers, too.
Alltype hires newbies
If you have graduates from one of the acceptable list of schools and pass the entry test, which is very basic, they do mentor in newbies and won't insult you with 4 cpl starting pay like some of the other companies. They had a recent ad on the job board.
Medquist also hires newbies.
Some companies have you work on their platform. Word is required sometimes, but not 2007. You're best bet is Word 2003, which is compliant with most MT platforms.
As far as convincing your husband, don't expect to make a whole lot in the first probably 2 years at least. This business takes a lot to get up to speed. Nothing lucrative until your probably 5 years in, and that's definitely not working part-time. You'll probably need to work at least one full-time job and a part-time to make any great money in this business unless you get your own accounts. If you get your own accounts through local physicians, then you're looking at being a contractor, which means no insurance help.
Good luck with whatever you decide!
Spheris hires new graduates
Good luck!
as a newbie, you need to research who hires newbies

Meditech hires newbies for real
Meditech is a company that does hire newbies for their internship. I finished my internship in October and am now a full-time employee. I am posting this message to let everyone know who hasn't found that perfect company that hires newbies, that this is a legitamate company who does. Everyone wants you to have experience, this is how you get that experience. 
spheris hires Career Step

Have a friend who is a recent graduate for MT, does anyone know of a company who hires with less
than one year's experience or has a mentoring program? TIA!
Spheris hires entry level graduates from
at 5.5 cpl, they pay direct deposit on time, insurance not that great (large deductible) and all the usual FT benefits. Only PT benefit is 401K. My supervisor, QA people, and accounts have all been decent, 4-1/2 years into it.
Focus hires newbies and she can probably pick her hours

Spheris hires from MTEC, Career Step, Andrews, SETT

Spheris hires graduates only from MTEC, Career Step, Andrews

MT Grads
Hi,
I am in the same boat. Recent grad that has applied to numerous companies-I think I am running out of options. Single parent with 2 children and stressed about where to go from here. May have to get a job doing something all together different just to get by. Feel I am running out of time and don't know what to think or what to do or where to go.
Jade
NO. Not all CS grads do. Those who want to be
do Spheris sample reports instead of the CareerStep advanced portion of the course. Most people who go to CareerStep do NOT go through the Spheris Training Track. I didn't.
M-Tec grads
Hi,
I am a little confused about the price on M-Tec School. Can anyone tell me how much it is with shipping and handling. I am interested in the Tier 1 payment plan.
Thanks,
Bob
New MT Grads.....
It looks Medquist is hiring for new MT Grads. I know there were some looking for a position to get their feet wet. They are currently looking for new grads at Medquist.
New grads
I am also a new grad of CS. There is a post on the job board for Another Medical Must, and they just hired me. I begin to train next week.It has taken me 6 months, but I finally have a chance :)
They seem to be hiring quite a few new people now, so apply to the job post.
Employment for New Grads
I am a recent grad. I graduated with a GPA of an A.
Is there any company that hires new grads?
So far, I have not found any.
Thank you.
employment for new grads
AMEN! While I am not a recruiter, I have run into that 2-year thing. I also agree with you about what CS consider 'experience'. Thanks for stating it!
Re: Recent Grads
Hi Amy,
I am the one who made the original post. I'm not so "upset and disgusted" anymore. :-) I thought I might give you a little advice on finding a job.
I think I said this in my post, but the way that I went about it was sending my resume to every company I could send it to. Even if the company stated they wanted two years of experience. My resume outlines my specific skills as an MT, i.e. computer, terminology, etc...and also outlines lists the specific courses I took in my college program.
There are literally hundereds of companies out there. I don't know if you are wanting to work from home or work in a hospital, clinic, or doctor's office, but I would do the same thing either way. I sent my resume to many, many companies.
If you are looking online and the company website offers testing for employment, take the test. That is how I ultimately landed the job I have now. The company I work for states they want 2 years of experience, but I tested for them and they hired me because I passed.
It is not easy to land that first job. You just have to be determined and keep at it. Since I got hired I have had 5 more job offers. It will happen for you too. Good luck!
MTEC Grads
I just finished my coursework at M-TEC. I can't wait for my test to be graded...and I'm itching to find a job. Before my test, I was 95%. I'm wondering if anyone knows what companies routinly hire from M-Tec so I can go looking now and not have to wait till I am able to access the COC on M-TEC's website?
Any new grads having better luck?
I graduated from one of the top 3 MT schools at the end of October with a 96% GPA. I have sent my resume, filled out applications, and taken tests to the point of losing count. The majority of the companies have not responded back (I still don't know if I've even passed or failed the tests I've taken), the few that have responded say they are not hiring at this time or not hiring new graduates or entry level or their company is reorganizing. I keep telling myself this is all part of the economic problems we are having, but I can’t help feel somewhat discouraged. I would appreciate anyone out there with some input about their job hunting. Thanks!
Hiring new grads
Does anyone have any information on which companies might be hiring new grads, or anyone willing to give a newbie a chance? I am having a hard time finding work, and I've been out of school for about 6 weeks. Is this unusual or am I expecting too much too soon? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
