XP installs
I have had to "wipe" my computer clean a few times and reinstall Windows XP about 4 times over the past few years (3 of those times not realizing it was the hard drive going bad).  I had to call each time to re-install and get a new confirmation number from Microsoft and explain the situation, including where I bought it and why was I re-installing.  They will while talking to you on the phone, ping the software that you purchased to see if they get any reading.  If it comes back that it has been installed on another computer elsewhere, they will not give you a new confirmation number.  If you share your software with someone else, anytime that the two of you are online at the same time, you risk getting caught because the software automatically tries to ping back to Microsoft for updates, etc., and this is how people get caught sharing.  Remember that your software is registered for ONE computer and if they see two computers using the same, you will be caught.  If you have any questions, feel free to email me.
You can only do 2 or 3 installs and then
they will no longer install.  This is to keep you from selling them.  I don't know if that is your problem or not.  I don't know why they wouldn't install for any other reason, but if they won't do a self-install, try right clicking and do an open and see if you can find the install command. 
What do you mean 3 installs with Bytescribe?...sm...

I'm only talking about the Wavplayer, which was one install.  Did you install the Wavplayer, DocShuttle, and something else maybe? 


Thanks for the info on ExpressScribe.  I might give them a try again.  I'm thinking about training my DD and it would give her something to use, at least until we see if she sticks it out. 


I see. I agree the three installs is a big downside. ..sm..
I had the same thing happen.  I ran out of installs and then bought a dongle because when I tried Express Scribe the sound was terrible.  I'm glad the sound is better now.  Thanks for clarifying.
and worried if limited installs, I wouldnt be

My DH is a Service Engineer, installs/services electron microscopes at hospital, Universities, gov&#
he makes a LOT more than me. My monthly pay equals one of his paychecks after taxes, sad. All he has is a 2 year technical degree too. So if we did not have so many expenses we'd be quite comfy (losing a major one in 4 months though, yeah)....in 5 years when the house is paid off we will be every comfy, can't wait to not have to work! I would get back into my jewelry business FT and see if I can finally make that fly! Have a BFA and don't use it, what a waste.
What Company is This? I have been hired by a company that is sending a foot pedal.. Don't want t
.
The company cutting cpl, the company stopping paying for headers
:{
Good of the company? As IC, I am my own company. Not my problem if she has problems as long as I do
:P
Accepted a job with a new company, gave two weeks notice to my old company..

Old company, let me go before two weeks was up.  New company, said they were having trouble getting me set up and my equipment ready, but they would pay me while I waited.  It's been a month, still no check from new company even though I was told it was "in the mail."  I have no income and am at a loss. 


I have a signed offer letter from the new company, contracts, etc.  I applied for unemployment, but old company is saying I quit and technically I am currently employed with the new company!  New company is not returning calls or answering email.


What should I do!?!?!?!


I started sending my resume out today, but the process of getting a new job will take at least two weeks and I need money now to catch up on what I'm behind!


You don't want to work for this company. Call your current company and
tell them that you have decided against the new position and tell them that you would like to stay. It is cheaper for them to let you stay than to train someone new. A company who could be so tacky as the one you just spoke of is one you do not want to work for. You can rescind your resignation. If you are a good MT, they will be glad you did.
With my company, ICs use their own emails, employees have company email.

COMPANY INQUIRIES belong on Company board, please!

....3 months later my old company rehired me; can you return to your 1st company?

Local radiology company, not transcription company
who has only 5 transcriptionists and are not hiring at this moment. We all work at home and get great benefits, no insurance out of pocket and 22 days paid vacation in the first year, after that it goes up. I feel very fortunate to have found them, but again I chose them because they did not do production, so now that they are, I'm a little disappointed.
just please remember that....

science is a GOOD thing :) If anything, the ultimate gift of God. IMO


(shuttin up now)


OKAY, BUT REMEMBER
Remember, maybe your current employer would pay you a penny more a line (MAYBE), but what about the next employer. Things in this business change quickly, and just because your current employer may up your pay, the next one might not care.
Do you remember>>bet I'm
How about those HUGE transcription machines bigger than a desk>>>>I gravitated to MT from KEYPUNCH school...REMEMBER THOSE KEYPUNCH MACHINES!!!!!
I remember
I learned to type on a manual typewriter.  I actually won a county typing contest on one of those, when some of the contestants had brought their electric portables with them.  I won because I relaxed, thinking I did not have a chance on a manual, and had only two errors.  They counted off words for each error.  I got my A.S. in HIM, only then it was Medical Records Technology.   My first job was in a small physician's office, where I had an IBM Selectric.  Dictation was on this little thing with belts.  After that was a machine with small little discs that looked like film, that never came out of the machine, just stacked up like a juke box.  After that came tapes.  My references were a big Dorland's, a Taber's and a PDR.  Of course, like another poster said, I had the chart.  Even with all the bad things about the business, I don't think I would want to go back. 
ek, remember ET...


AND REMEMBER
Oct. 1 if you are ME, you get the "reward" of 20% decrease in pay.
just remember

remember
They used to think that about male nurses too.
I believe so, but can't remember what it is! nm


Don't remember where I was

I probably found out about it at night, when the newspaper arrived. It didn't phase me at all.  

In terms of my age at the time ... 27.


How do you ever remember them all?
That's my problem
Remember When? SM
I posted last evening and spent time this morning just chuckling over what people have written. I still have the red book, "A Syllabus for The Surgeon's Secretary." It is all beat up and the spine is broken but I will not part with it. Let me quote, "Only when a satisfactory degree of proficiency has been achieved should a student be given actual work assignments. She thus learns by POSITIVE TUTELAGE as contrasted with the outmoded method of trial and error." The 2nd edition, January 1965 is the date of publication. We had no electronic dictionary or medical speller. Everything we wrote had to be correct or it was literally "thrown back at us" to retype. We had to use our "Dorlands" or "Tabers" and one PDR for the use of the whole office. Believe me, these "one of a kind" books were tattered and torn but we used them or else. We "had" to get it right, no excuses. What a wonderful way to start the New Year. Somehow it seems all worth it now, sore back and tired fingers and all. Happy New Year, Everyone. Mary Mc
I remember when...

As a child;


Movies were 50 cents. We went at least every weekend...


We got cable TV...wow, more than 3 or 4 channels!


Our first VCR had a remote...with a cord running across the floor!


 


As a teenager;


Let me just say...leg warmers!


Big hair!


Wham! Boy George! Flock of Seagulls...


Those were the days...


I remember
as a child

Combination TV and record player. The record player could play 33-1/3, 45's AND 78's

Stores were closed on Sundays.

As a teenager

White lipstick

Rolling hair up on orange juice cans.

Cash registers without scanners.

Wishnicks (lucky troll dolls)

Don't let the trolls get you down.
i remember those
I'm old enough to remember standing at the meat counter with my mom watching the butcher weigh out the meat and wrap it and if she wanted a special cut he would step back to a table with the meat saw and cut it.

I also remember long trips on Route 66 before the interstates- getting car sick because I was sitting with my knees on the seat looking out the back window watching the stripes and telephone poles go by- my cousins had a Rambler station wagon and that was really cool cause they got to sprawl out in the back it had a luggage rack on top - oh, boy am I really telling my age
Boy am I old. I remember......
when I was a child, and there was no TV, we actually had one of those big floor model radios, and we actually sat around it and listened to it.  Wow.  When I was a teenager, gas was about 18 cents a gallon, and we used to go out on a Friday night and get a dollar's worth.  I also remember our first color TV.  Everything looked bright pink, bright blue, and bright green.  Probably my most significant memory as a teenager was being on my senior class trip in Washington, D.C. when Kennedy was killed.  We saw the White House flag being lowered.  Car radios were on all over town, people gathered around cars crying.  That was back in the time when everyone was kind of "innocent" - things like that just didn't happen.  Wow, what a memory. 
I remember when...
Michael Jackson was "normal" and very cool. I remember when we only got three channels out in the country. I remember being in love with Erik Estrada from CHiPs! Ahh, nostalgia. I remember when Ricky Martin was in Menudo. OMG, so cute! When I need a nostalgia fix, I watch "13 Going on 30". She was my age exactly then! Loving those layered polo's and plastic necklaces! I remember watching NEW episodes of "The Cosby Show". Oh, can't forget "The Facts of Life"! Woohoo! Good thread idea. I'm smiling now! Thanx!
WHAT I REMEMBER

When we waited for guys to call us now girls ask guys out (I have two daughters).  When you would not be stuck with one guy and would go out with several. When College was an option because jobs were more plentiful. Now College is a must.   When TV had the good shows like Different Strokes, Facts of Life Etc, when Kenny Rogers was as hot as Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney.  When TV was a little more sensored than it is now.  When there was more little corner stores and not a variety of  supermarkets.  When you only had one brand to choose at the store and not a million.   When Sundays were a day of rest and not work(stores were closed).  The only time you could get donuts was on Sundays at the corner stores. 


I remember when...

Milk used to come in glass bottles with cardboard tops. Bread was wrapped in waxed paper with a label on each end.  Kids had to be inside as soon as the street lights when on.  Everyone ate dinner together, and you had to ask to be excused from the dinner table.  All 3 of us kids waited in the back seat of the car while mom did grocery shopping, and we actually believed she could see us.


 


As a teen I remember city buses took us everywhere, or we walked.  I remember bleeding madras shirt, tight cut-off kakhi-colored jeans (but I'm not sure kakhi was a word then), boys with bleached blonde surfer haircuts, and penny loafers without socks.  I remember circle pins, letter sweaters, and Aqua-Net. 


 


Thanks, fun!


Just remember

were you were only four days ago.  You posted on this board "bawling your eyes out" and having no idea what to do.  I am very happy for you, please understand that.  But I have been where you are right now.  I am not trying to dampen your spirits or get you down, I'm just trying to give you a little bit of reality.  I didn't respond to your original post because I felt that you had enough people putting their two cents in.  I left my husband over four years ago.  It took a lot of courage and it was a very scary thing to do.  He was a very emotionally abusive man who had taken away every ounce of self-esteem I had.  But I got me and my son out. 


I do want you to be happy and excited about the steps you are taking, but I don't want you to forget where you were just a few short days ago.  It is very easy to fall back into the same old routine.  I heard many, many promises from my ex, and I stayed with him only for things to always go back to the terrible.  If you hang on to where you just came from, you won't allow yourself to go back there again.


Good luck.


remember when
I remember when I was working FT outside of the home. Lots of days it grated on my last nerve but I am, make that was, a people person and felt I needed that interaction. Due to child care circumstances I work FT at home now doing transcription. I do find myself getting more and more reclusive and miss the public less as times goes on. I do, however, have a p.r.n. position at a local hospital that I work when I want and so that gets me out there. I usually works Saturdays. I can work there as much or as little as I want. It is really not a hard job but by the end of the day I'm ready to go home. Both jobs make me appreciate the other one more.
I remember that too.
Besides, it looks bad. "He was seen 1 day ago and has had 2 episodes of chest pain, 3 times a day." Come on.
I remember.....sm
I remember the group "Seacrest out" now that you mention it. But I though he did it every show last year. That's cute that you use it.
Oh how I remember it well....sm

I was married for 13 years and we never left the offspring with a babysitter (husband=European)


..and so I read somewhere WAY BACK THEN.....that if he doesn't want to leave the kids with a babysitter, you make plans with your friends and STILL GO out with them.....the article indicated that while the husband may not be happy with that, he will respect you.


I divorced him after 13 years of his CONTROLLING passive-aggressive ways....the fact that his things were always more important than our things...me being an equalist.  I want a man in my life, not in my house full time.  I will NEVER marry again by choice.  *lol*  Joni Mitchell (singer back in the 1970s) once sang a line "We love our lovin, but not like we love our FREEDOM!!!!!"


So you go on out and have a GREAT time and DON'T FEEL GUILTY......you deserve time on your own away from everyone at home.  I don't even know you and can tell you that with CERTAINTY!!


ENJOY YOUR EVENING.....and hopefully you won't come home to the THIRD DEGREE (questions).  *LOL*


 


remember this . . .
illicit - illegal
yep, that's how I remember this one too.
:)
Does anyone remember (sm)
Pat from Saturday Night Live? LOL
Yep - I sure do remember Pat from SNL.....nm

i remember
playing hopscotch on the sidewalk, jumprope and my pogo stick. In those days we were allowed to actually play outside without fear of being abducted !
I don't remember the man's name, but--sm
he and his wife did their Christmas party for many years. He was a family friend. He also did not need a "costume" as he had a long white beard etc. already. He had also given JonBenet a teddy bear that night at the party and when he was on Geraldo, he had the bear in his hands. Still just my opinion.
Yes, but I cannot remember the name of it--sm
but they do advertise occasionally for an MT to go to various in-house hospitals and type dictation. Might be good for someone with no responsibilities at home, but not me.
I don't remember much about it, other than
that I loved it. I don't think its very fancy, not a lot of bells and whistles, but I believe I used to use it at the Q, and I always made great line counts and was really fast on it. I would love to use it again! I'm sorry that I don't remember the details other than above.
They way I remember it,
As I remember it, punctuation rules changed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. I remember some teacher telling us, and I think it was when I was in college. We learned very different rules, but many doctors still use the rules I learned before this change. The new rules make more sense to me now, and I use them, bearing in mind that the trend in medical reports is to use fewer commas rather than more. Most of the medical journals that I've read use the same style I do, so I don't know why the MDs don't notice how it's done in the journals.


Now I remember why I don't come here often (sm)
I guess I referred to them as "normal interruptions", because frankly, I think we will all agree that working from home is very different from working in an office environment away from home. My 4-year-old son is home with me, which does create interruptions and since he is very active, I actually have quite a few interruptions. However, since it is my choice to have him home with me and not in day care, I try to deal with it the best that I can. I do not want to put him off or insist that he be silent while I am working. He does go to preschool 2 days a week, 2 hours a day, but that actually is more of a hindrance than a help, since I drive both ways.

I do not do housework during my working hours, other than to clean up an occasional spill or mess that might occur while I'm working. I do take occasional breaks to play with my son though. My voice mail answers all my calls, and I have caller ID so that I can screen them as well.

I appreciate your input and I think it is super that you are able to accomplish so much work in 2 hours. However, I really don't understand the tone of snootiness in your response.


I remember once
a store clerk tried to get my mom to give her SSN# in order to allow her to write a check. She told him he was crazy if he thought she was giving him that info.

It probably could be that the school needs proof that the child is who you say they are (think of kids who have been kidnapped, illegal immigrants, etc) but I would think that a birth certificate would serve the same purpose.
I don't remember how, but I
think I had to set ES as my default. Also, you have to set up your foot pedal in ES. Did you do that?
