This is all stated assuming that you are using a Windows Operating System, XP or Vista. Put a blank CD into your CD drive, open Explorer, find the file(s) and/or folder(s) you want to put on the CD, left mouse click and drag them to the CD drive.

OR you can copy specific files/directories from your main drive to your back up drive.
If she uses ftpsurfer she can just drag and drop

Are you saying the files are already in digital format and they are already on her PC? All she would have to do is open the file where they are at, minimize the window, click on ftpsurfer, click on your folder to open it, then drag and drop.   So I would try another free FTP utility, like ftpsurfer.

Yes, you can do this from Windows Explorer. sm
Find the ShortHand folder on the main drive. Look for your dictionary names ending with the spf extension. You can copy those to a CD or flash drive or email them to yourself.

Go to the "My Computer" icon or Windows Explorer (sm)
And click on the C: drive. Should be a folder named InstText. Inside that is a Glossary folder. Either copy the whole folder or go inside and copy the glossaries you want, then copy to your flash drive. Then install Instant Text to the new computer, attach the flash drive and copy the glossary files to C:/InstText on the new computer.

Win XP? Were you changing folder options in Windows Explorer? sm
Go back into Windows Explorer and look at the options on the general tab of folder options. I no longer have XP and don't remember the exact name of the option you need to clear the check, but you should be able to recognize it.

RE: Drop shoot software

Can anyone explain what Drop shoot software is and where to get it? Thanks


a new windows software?
has anyone else heard about there being a new windows version that will be available to replace windows XP since a lot of people are dissatisfied with XP?  A friend of mine told me this as she had heard that much but she did not know all of the details.  TIA! 
Not using Windows-based transcription software but need macro.. sm
program that does not require one to know computer programming to use. I am using Bayscribe and it is not Windows based so am unable to use any Windows macros to perform simple things I could save time on.  I checked out Auto Hot Key which sounds great but is just above my computer-challenged abilities as I know no programming language.  I searched the internet and found several programs under "macro recording" but before I invest in one would like advice and opinions!  Thanks for any help. 
Instant Text software and Windows Vista
I purchased Instant text software about 6 months ago.  I have a new computer now with Windows Vista and while the software worked properly on Windows XP, in order to install the software on Vista I was told by the company turn off my user account control and if I do that my software platform I-Type will not let me in to link the program to it.  Anyone have a clue?  Any info would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks everyone!

Grab it with your mouse and drag it over to where you want it.
Single right click, hold, drag.

It's all good. Doesn't Star look like a guy in drag?
Especially since she lost weight. So who cares about her husband's "orientation"? I'm not so sure about Star.
We used to cruise the main drag, race on the old highway, and
stop at the burger joints to see where the parties were.  The kids don't get to do that any more because the cops bust them for loitering, curfew, etc.  In fact, that's the first thing DH and I noticed about each other was our cars while cruising the drag.  He had a red AMC Javelin and I had a red Dodge Coronet.
For goodness sake, if you're going to drag the Bible into it
you might read the part about man being created separately in God's image. In the Old Testament, there are distinctly different punishments for killing a man and killing a beast. Now, no doubt God loves animals and they will be in heaven, but I can assure you, God has not created man and animal on the same level.

Yeah, you're right. Who cares who licenses your software? Heck, I use all pirated software anyw

why pay for anything, right?


Except that is AGAINST THE LAW!!!


You can still do it through Explorer.

To select a group of consecutive files, left mouse click on the first file, hold down the shift key, scroll to the last file in the group you want to move and left mouse click on it. (The files in between will also be selected.) Continue to hold the left mouse button down but let go of the shift key. Drag the group to the CD drive.


To select several non-consecutive file, follow the above steps but instead of the shift key, use the Control key. This will select each file you click on separately. If you click on an incorrect file, simple click again and it will de-select that file.


Using a combination of the shift and control keys will perform allow you to select non-consecutive groups of files.


A friend of mine got one and she is finding that some of her software, specifically her ISP software

Internet Explorer
Thanks very much! I'll check that out.
I have Internet Explorer
I have never had a problem before like this with it. I just sent tech support an E-mail and I will see what they might say.

Thanks.
Yes, I did know that and sometimes that works better than Explorer.
It all depends on what you're more comfortable with. Glad that it worked out for you.

If u need server software, try guild ftp. If just user software
then try cuteftp, coffeecupftp, or wsftp. They don't charge a line rate and I believe guildftp server software is still free.
Internet Explorer trouble
Has anyone ever had IE just poop out on them? I was able to log onto IE yesterday morning with no problems. Then, about 2 hours later I needed to go online and research a medication. I got the following error message: "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error. Program:CProgram FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe. This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the applications support team for more information." I tried running TrojanHunter Guard, Ad-aware spyware detection, and even tried uninstalling and reinstalling IE but it won't let me do that. I've downloaded another browser called Opera which was recommended to me just so I can get online. Anybody else had this problem? Thanks for any help or advice.
Internet Explorer Trouble.
First see the following Link:

Thanks,

If you are using Internet Explorer (Microsoft) sm

Go up to the top and click on "Tools", then "Internet Options". Click "Clear History". That should do it.


If you set your history to only keep one or two days' worth of info, it will automatically clear itself.


It would be a good idea to click "clear files" on the same screen as well.  You should also click "clear cookies", but that will delete all your passwords and saved information. However, some of those "cookies" can be harmful so you do need to clear them out once in a while.


Ok, try repairing your Internet Explorer.

Go to Start Menu, Settings, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs.  Scroll down to Microsoft Internet Explorer, highlight it, hit the Add/Remove Button.  A screen will pop up with three options, install, repair, or uninstall.  Click the Repair radio button, hit OK, then reply Yes.  After it's done restart your computer and try going to your website again.


If that doesn't work and you can't get it to work through the Mozilla browser either, let me know and I'll see what else I can think up.  Also, update and run your virus and spyware scanners to be sure it's not a virus locking you out.  If you need links to free ones, AVG is good for virus, and either Spybot Search and Destroy or AdAware are good for spyware.  I think both are available at Download.com.


Here's the link for Mozilla Firefox, which is supposedly a more secure browser than Internet Explorer anyway.

I have an Internet Explorer question...sm

all of a sudden when I type in an address in the address bar on IE and hit enter, it takes me to "organize favorites" and makes a new folder.  Anyone know how to fix this or turn it off so that when I type in an address it will just to the web page I am looking for?


Thanks for any help!


The easiest answer would be use Explorer. sm
More information would be helpful. Is this an Olympus recorder? Is there software that came with the recorder that is needed in order to download?

As an example, my OMs download dictation to their computer using Microsoft Explorer (not Internet Explorer, IE).
More like 2 seconds, if using Internet Explorer

It would help if you were a little more specific about what the issues are that are making your frustrated.


"Cleaning your cache" and deleting cookies are very simple and easy ways to keep your computer free of adware and spyware, although you should have a firewall and run a good malware/adware program frequently.

How do you find which version of Internet Explorer??
I can't find this information on my computer.. Where do I find it?  THANKS!
Lost toolbar on Internet Explorer
Can anyone tell me how to restore the tool bar with the buttons such as home page, refresh, go back arrow, forward arrow?  I know that there are other buttons on there but those are the few that I use most often and can remember.  My guess is that something has been inadvertantly turned "off" but I don't know where to look for it.
A much better browser to use than Internet Explorer. You will love it!

MQ drop down box
Came with the new update @ 4:00 am yesterday, the one that had the system shut down for 2 hours.  Gave plenty of notice and if you check the little box next time you go into DocQmanage, you can read all about the new and improved :)
I would drop by

I always pursue until they tell me that they have gone with someone else.  I am not super aggressive I just let them know I am interested.  But it does sometimes take a while to get an answer but it sure wouldn't hurt to drop a brochure by or at least mail one out.  Whose grandson was screaming in the background?  If it was your MIL that could have been a turn off but not sure.  Anyway good luck, see if she will let you become the Public Relations and you start pursuing accounts.  


 


Let's drop this

I have getting lots of email with SUPPORTIVE ANSWERS to my questions. The rest on this board are a bunch of hostile women too lazy to read what I wrote. I took early retirement because my children are defending a bunch of slackers ande users in Afghanistan and Iraq and there are three grandchildren to keep. I live a four hour round trip from the other grandma they are living with. I am not trying to cheat ANYONE you nasty. I was trying to find out HOW to become an IC and WHAT the best tax options were. Don't tell me YOUR sorry behind is paying unecessary taxes. It is PERFECTLY LEGAL TO HAVE THE TAX TAKEN OUT OF HIS PAY. Till I got sick and my children were deployed, I was the breadwinner in this family and I earned $60K a year. Then I had heart failure, diabetes and lost toes in my feet and I STILL worked. But I will not toss my grandchildren out. I am 62 and I HAVE to work but I cannot work full time. That bothers you? If it was immoral or illegal, then the government would not ALLOW you to work and collect social security at the same time, you fool. But they DO, but ONLY UP TO A CERTAIN AMOUNT. If you can't answer a simple question, stop bashing me. I am not doing a singlething immoral or illegal and I have had four offers already from THIS web site that are within my restrictions. If it was illegal, would they do it??? NOT!


Now drop it and leave me alone.


Why drop him?

You have nothing to lose, but everything to gain.  I don't quite understand.  Once they dictate, then type it when you can.  You can only be as consistent as they are, so if it takes longer to get it back to them, then so be it.  If it is good income that you don't want to lose, I would stick it out. 


Furthermore, you are making yourself look bad by complaining.  If he comes across a colleague that may be looking for a transcriptionist, he may not recommend you due to your complaining.  You want to keep a good reputation.  JMO.


This is a very basic computer skill/concept. You copy files to another drive using Explorer.

There are very detailed instructions in the Help files that accompany Windows. You can read those for more information.


Basically, you open Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer). Locate the files you want to copy, highlight and right mouse click. Choose Copy. Now, find the location where you want to copy these files (usually another drive like D: or H:, whereever the flash/jump/thumb drive is located) and paste the files there.
