problem with display properties screen sm

Posted By: ksmt on 2009-05-26
In Reply to:

I am trying to change some settings for my display.  When I go into the display properties screen/appearance there are three boxes that are "locked" and I can't get rid of them. 


The top one says "message box", the one behind that says "active window" and the third one behind that says "inactive window".  They are like error boxes stacked on top of each other.  It won't let me "X" them out or anything.  Its like they are locked, so  I can't change change the appearance of my monitor.  I have rebooted and done everything I know to do and can't get rid of these boxes.  The other options tabs for my display work fine though.

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?
Properties is under?

System Properties

I have Windows XP Media Center Edition on an HP Pavilion Desktop.


Click on Start button.  Click on My Computer.  At the top of the left-hand pane is a box called System Tasks.  Click on View System Info.  This opens a window called System Properties.  Choose the General Tab.  It will tell you what version of Windows you are running at the top.  The bottom tells you the kind of computer, the type of processor and its speed and the amount of RAM.  In my case 1.93 GB.


display disarray
Yep, it happens to me. I just call the IT Dept. and the guys there can do something by remote. It might be YOU who's causing the problem. It could definitely be a Dictaphone situation. Call 'em.

Rental properties and TurboTax sm
Anyone have rental properties and do your own taxes with TurboTax?  We used to have rentals and the accountant did the taxes but charged us like close to $400.00 for our return.  We have since sold everything and this year I did them with TurboTax and really the features.  Now we are thinking of purchasing another small rental and would like to know how TurboTax is with rentals.  Is it easy and pretty much self-explanatory?  Do you like to use it for this or do you have an accountant do it?  Thanks in advance. 
Extext - Display Disarray
I'm not sure how to describe this. It has happened a few times to me, and I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it. Here's the problem: Occasionally, my fingers fly and I end up hitting keys that I don't intend to hit. Apparently, I'm hitting some sort of combo that sets of a function that I definitely do not want. At first, it appears as tho Num Lock is on, as when I hit any number keys, I get symbols on my screen. But it happens with more than numbers. It also happens with any punctuation keys, as well. If I try to highlight a portion of the text with my mouse, well... everything just goes kablooey. Click on a bit of text to place the cursor, and an entire paragraph is highlighted. Click again, and more is highlighted. All sorts of stuff happen. I try to Edit - Undo to go back to where I made my mistake, but that doesn't help. Even on my desktop, the strange behavior continues.

I'm not sure what I'm doing when I make this mistake, and I can't seem to fix it. In fact, I can't even shut down the computer to reboot. When I go to Start - Turn off computer - Restart nothing happens at all. I end up having to slam off the computer. Oy! Of course, by the time everything comes up, I've completely lost everything I was working on. This is not a regular occurrence. It happened to me this morning, and it's been months since it happened previously.

Has anyone else had this happen? Do you know what it is and/or how to correct it?
I mean, was it suppose to have a display? if so, then return it

The properties not changed, any more ideas?

Think you can get there doing Control Panel/Display and
s
A key fob is usually a small digital display
that has a 6-7 digit number that changes about every thirty seconds. You use it as your password to get into certain systems. 
Under preferences, auto display, and make sure
there is no check mark in front of the option to use Shift plus enter to expand.
I own several rental properties, buy houses and flip them and
own several nationally-known chain restaurants.

Much more productive than pointing fingers at the government and blaming them for any poor choices on my part, most of which are fixable if you stop complaining and get off your butt!
How do you change display on Word template?
Does anyone know  how to change the display to 100%. I have tried to modify normal.dot but no luck.  Thanks in advance.
Office Depot has chairs on display U can try before you buy. sm
Got mine there over 5 years ago, fully adjustable, I think it was $129, still good.
the properties stats still do not count headers.
Do a test to prove it. Type one word in the document and one word in the header and you will only see a count for the word in the body of the document.
Control Panel - Display - Appearance

If you have Windows XP, you will have to click on "Advanced" at the bottom right of the screen.


Then click in the space where it says "Window Text." Choose the color you want, click "Okay," then click "Apply."


That should do it!


Make sure that the Properties haven't been changed.

Open the document that you want to print, choose Print from the File menu and then select Properties. Click on the Layout tab and make sure that you're printing one page per sheet.


how to display header info on dictaphone?

Hi,


I have just started a new job that uses the dictaphone. Is there anyway to get the job information to display in the display window?  I had an account years ago that used the phone as well, and I remember there was a way to program the phone to display this information, but I cannot remember how to do it and cannot find this information anywhere!  Any help would be greatly appreciated!


Or go to start, control panel, display,
appearance, and you can choose whatever you want. I change my colors all the time.
If you change the color in the properties/appearance, it does NOT
transfer to another computer. You are only changing your Windows settings. If you use one of the stationery themes within Word, that does transfer.
take a report you get the gross pay for and do a file/properties/statistics
get the total character count with spaces and divide by 65 I think 6.5 gross line will put a little over 8 cents per 65 character line with spaces.
Nobody (well hardly anybody) gives raises. If the work is easy, you know your account, you might not find greener pastures.

You could take on a part-time account instead of just quitting the one you have, sometimes that switch is a wrong move, anything to break the fall.

Also, MP Count is a free software for line counting and invoicing. Its on the MedPen website.
so, with 5 income properties, how did you come to have only 4000 for a cushion? What happends to y
If you are Christians I'd think you would know about steweardship, living within your means, being prideful. I find it hard to believe someone with income property didn't know what closing costs would be..you get paperwork early on that idicates approximate costs..they are usually fairly accurate, and never 2000 off. Good luck and keep us posted.
I have IE set to display text size as largest, yet this font is so tiny I can barely see it.

you need to change your properties of those file types to open with ES and not media player. sm
go to your folders by start, explore. find where you saved those files to. once you find a file, right click on it and click on properties. under the general tab, look down 3 lines to where it says open with and i bet it says media player. click change, find the express scribe program. make sure you check that box under there that says always use this program to open this type of file. then you can either right click again, click open with, select express scribe and it will automatically load in ES or you can hit the load button on ES, find where the file is saved, select and it loads it. if this doesn't work, email me.
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.
