But if your warranty has run out, they'll charge $20 or more, and as often as not they probably don't know what they're talking about. At least that's been my experience.
Have you installed ANY new software into your laptap lately, such as a new virus protector. They can do really treacherous things to your computer software. If you have, maybe try uninstallling it and see if that helps.
Once I put in a new antivirus and it locked up by browser--years ago, but that's what came to mind.

they will not provide you with customer support.
I had problems tyring to defend that I should have customer support if I did such a thing. They will help you load XP but they will not give you any customer support afterwards, I never loaded with XP but after telling them the sales person gave me the wrong info (I wanted to make sure I could still use this computer if a company was still with windows XP and the sales person said no problem) This was last summer. After fighting tooth and nail they credited my account. Tell them you want it for a business so that way you get someone who knows what they are talking about, hopefully.
Call Nicole at customer service...
This is THE best company I have ever dealt with. I downloaded the trial and in a day or two received a very nice personable email from Nicole wanting to know how I liked the Gearplayer. Then my trial ran out before I really got to try it because we had to go out of town so they let me try it an additional 5 days. On my fifth day I had just started working and was so behind because I took my mom for a test. It was last Thursday actually. I placed my order over the phone and was going to have to wait until Monday for the software to come in. Nicole gave me a third extension so I would not lose money and the software arrived the very next day!
I do want to add that when trying the 3rd trial I had the same problem you are having and I called their tech depatment. Mike had me back on within minutes without putting me on hold even one time!
The customer care is unmatched and the product itself has the best sound quality and the settings are so easy to use. I can't recommend them enough. Good luck!
I would call tech support. They probably

back again after my 7th call to the tech support
Thanks for the warranty/technician advice...
Our initial impression too was that it was so great having this satellite internet (compared to our only other option dial-up). We first had the DW6000, and decided to upgrade because of our extreme satisfaction with the system (especially my husband who has been trying to convert to Linux and has been downloading big software files for that purpose).
I just talked to the Advanced Support personnel (that was after 25 minutes of talking to the lower support), and all he could say was that they were still trying to resolve the issue and could not give me a timeframe, that if I wanted to use the net I would just have to check from time to time.
I hate being able to work for 5-20 minutes, only to get no connection again and make the 30-minute call again, and have the internet working again for several minutes (the longest it was probably continuously working was three hours last night, when DH dl'ed 100 MB of software). I decided to just have the day off (again).
I hope that this issue would resolve very soon. I pay their service using my MT income. Now I am losing income yet I still have to pay them monthly.
I wonder if I could try to use the DW6000 (we still have the modem) and see if it will have the same issues...I will ask DH about it when he comes home...
Meantime, I will do some chores. I have lost the gumption to work today...
Give a call to their tech support.
Maybe if you delete them from one computer, they'll give you an unlock code for another upload.

I have called the attorneys and given any information they may need including my name, phone, e-mail address and home address to contact me if and when I can officially become part of the lawsuit. For now, I have joined in the solidarity of supporting the original MQMTs which is better than them just standing out there alone with no support whatsoever. So if the attorneys go to them and say hey, we got a list of 1000 names who have phoned us to join in support of your efforts it's a whole lot better than no one responding the attorneys who asked MQMTs to call in their complaints.
WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?
Best to call tech support but be ready to take your brain
One person will tell you you have to have WindowsXP and don't try loading Windows XP on Windows 98. Then somebody else will tell you that you can load WindowsXP on top of your Windows 98. Good luck.

Vonage customer
No problems here. I wanted to go through Time Warner, as we already have cable and internet through them, and they display the number on your TV (very cool), but Vonage was still cheaper.
customer service
We tried for five solid weeks to get signed up with Vonage. Wasted well over six full hours over the telephone (we just have a plain old residential house, some question of a second line coming out of the house, but no other complications) with 99% ESL's who could not communicate properly with us. The savings were the carrot in front of our face, which is why we were so patient with having them try to get us set up, but because of one fiasco after another with JUST TRYING TO GET US SET UP, we decided it was not worth it. We will wait until it has been perfected. Also the 9-1-1 was a very important factor, as was Privacy Manager for us. Weigh your options. Best of luck to you.
For customer service.....
Someone filled me in that if (when) you get somebody from overseas, all you have to do is ask them to transfer the call to somebody in the states. That way you don't have to try to decipher what they are trying to say, and you get someone from the U.S. I tried this, and it worked well with no problems.
Those Customer Service Centers
You have to do what I do. Sometimes if I call and I can't understand a word the service rep is saying to me (after telling me his name is Paul), I ask them to send me back to an office in the United States. They generally don't know what to say at that point because they have no scripted answer to that type of question. It gets your point across without having to resort to nastiness (not implying that you were in any way), which I used to resort to and you have stumped them to the point where they generally will return you to the main office which is in the U.S.
Take care and good luck with the doctor.
Up-date from CC offshore customer rep.
Okay, I found a phone number on my statement for thier "Premier" card so I called that number. I asked where the rep was located and she told me Buffulo, NY and her name was Vivian. I got the answer to my question and then told her I had initially called and got hold of a center in the Phillipines but I refused to talk to them. I asked how I could go about lodging a complaint about the company offshoring. She said she could forward the complaint for me but it probably wouldn't do any good. I told her it would do some good if more people did as I was doing and also lodged complaints about offshoring. I explained that in my profession offshoring a a huge problem and that it was only a matter of time before SHE lost her job to offshoring also. I told her to include in my complaint that her bosses worked for me and if I, and others like me, refused to use their services, her boss and the company's management would be looking for new jobs. Vivian told me they have call centers all over the world and I just lucked out using the :"Premier" phone number because I do not have a "Premier" card. She said in the future if I want to get a rep in the US, I will probably have to hang-up and call back, several times maybe, until I got hold of a US rep. (Yeah, right, I am calling the Premier number first thing). But, at least I know what it might take to get a US rep.
I realise even the offshore people are just looking to make a living but what about all the US citizens trying to make a living, only to see their jobs go offshore? And I agree that it is "managament" that is responsible for this, but until we stand up for ourselve, no one else will. Management works for us!! Just like the managment of the MTSOs and even the Nationals have no job without us. It it too easy to say, "Well, just this one time, I will use the foreign call center, One time won't make a difference." But it is that one time, added to your one time and added to her one time, added to my one time and on and on, that WILL make a difference. It is too easy to sit back and wait for someone else to solve the problem. That attitude will get us nowhere but out of work or working for slave wages
I realise even the offshore people are just looking to make a living but what about
Love it, I am a loyal customer
I have had it for over four years with no trouble. They have a 24 hour call-in center. You can also adjust your bandwidth settings on your Vonage account page, which was probably what was giving you internet problems. I have never experienced this. It was probably your equipment or your settings that you should have adjusted.
The only downside is when your cable or DSL is out, so is your phone. This only happens every now and then. Like once every few months. I kept a land line phone for backup in the past for an extra $20 a month, but I no longer needed it so I disconnected it.
You get all features, voicemail, 3-way calling, call-waiting with caller ID. I can't even think of them there are so many. In my opinion, Vonage is the way to go. I guess everyone has their own opinion of the company though.
That's fine, will give them another of their customer
service numbers when they figure this out. At least it has been a quiet day today!
They start calling at 7 a.m. and don't stop calling until sometimes after 11 p.m.
The bill is not late. As a matter of fact, I checked our account status and the payment was there as of noon today. It's actually due on October 23.
It is simply harrassment. They want us to pay check by phone and we refuse. No way in H@!! am I going to give them our banking information.
BOS is just a style guide... do what the customer wants! sm
If my client does not have a preference I go by BOS. If they do state a preference I do what they want. If I feel the *BOS* way is better for proper interpretation of the report, I will advise that, but otherwise what they say is golden. 
I May Get a Radiology Customer and Need Advice
Can anyone advise me on radiology transcription. I've never done it. (I have a small MT service and would try to find someone to do this work)... I'm looking for advice on:
-- Pricing, I understand you usually charge by the page and not the line.
-- Is it advisable to pursue this, since I have never done it. I hear Radiology is "a different animal" - Good/Bad idea as owner of a small service to pursue this?
Thank you,
Dave
Have to talk to Customer Service. There are only one or two
models available with XP. I got one about a year ago. Saw a post recently that someone had just got one with XP through them, an Inspiron I think, and that they had a few left at that time.
I am a Comcast customer (HSI/cable TV) and wonder if I
should go with Comcast for long distance calling. Or, is there a better plan? Vonage perhaps? I have AT&T right now, maybe they have a package that includes free long distance calling.

Just talked to offshore customer service
I just got off the phone to my CC company. The sales rep that answered had no accent but on a hunch I asked where she was located and after much hesitation, she replied she was in the Phillipines. I told her I wanted to speak to a rep. in the US. She put me on hold and a few seconds later returned, asking me why. I told her I was totally against offshoring. Once again I was put on hold and after a long wait, her supervisor got on the line. This was a male with no accent so to be sure I asked him where he was located and again, the answer was the Phillipines. I told him I wanted to speak to a US rep. He asked why and I told him I was against offshoring. He said it was not possible to tranfer me to a US rep. I explained that I had made this same requist before and had been transferred but he said it was not possible this time. I told him I will email the company and try to get a US phone number that way. I will let you all know what happens. I am so angry I could spit.
irrelevant what MTSO charges the customer...
as long as you feel the price they pay you is sufficient for you. nuff said.
working as a customer service rep from home....sm
taking phone calls like orders for things, etc., showed very pregnant woman with little kids with phone headset working on computer . Raved about flexibility, own hours, fit her schedule, blah, blah.... Had to be able to work alone, etc., all the work ethics we have to have, and good typist. Full time, they said pays VERY well, with emphasis on the "very." I think this woman was making 12-15 an hour, can't remember exactly. Said there were about 10,000 women doing it and it is the up and coming thing. Check out the GMA website... I think it was "Women at Work"...... something like that.
purchasing computers with customer service in US?

I wish customer service departments would stop hiring
these people who have this terrible nasal twang of those wannabe CSI Miami blonde bimbos (the so-callled bullet expert). You cannot understand a word they say, everything is nasal and words run together. If doctors ever pick up this habit we are sunk.
Does anyone have a contact # for Medword? They have awful customer service!
After contacting HomeEx I ordered the Absolute Experience tapes through them. I wrote under additional instruction to tell the delivery person "Do Not Knock!"
Today the postman bangs on my door and needs a signature confirmation. If he had those instructions he would have delivered it to the apartment office. If I had been working, I could have lost my job for the backroud noise!
I ordered a 3 CD set and in the enevelope there is only 1 CD and transcripts that do not match it.
The outside cover says Package 1 of 2. Why wouldn't they send 3 CDs and the transcripts in the same package? From the ad it is a "set" of 3 CDs. I go to the website to contact them and I need an invoice # to email them about a shipment! There is no original invoice or copy or anything in my package! I called the # on my package but it's HomeEx not Medword.
Does anyone have a contact #?
GearPlayer customer service stinks - if you need to reload onto another computer (i.e. you get a new
You have to call them to get a new install code,but first they have to fax you a request sheet to be completed and faxed back,then they have to okay the reinstall and give you a new code. They are NOT available after hours or on weekends, so if you have an emergency such a computer crash,you are out of luck.
They also use tactics based on "sale points" which tease the customer
to the specific area (such as a microwave for $25.00) and then consider that if the customer took 10 additional steps, he would see the microwave he realloy would prefer (say a GE for $69.00) and since the customer is so thrilled with the dirt cheap price of the initial microwave, he purchases the GE microwave which is ACTUALLY PRICED HIGHER THAN OTHER STORES!!!!
Dastardly!
Check your boxes and stuff for some sort of customer service...
I think you got a bad one. Return.
got the "phone call" -- get this, MQ has hired a bunch of telemarketers to call all of us to
we received our "incentive packet." They don't even have the wherewithall to contact us personally. These are temp-agency hired telemarketers sitting around a boiler room making sure we're reading our mail.... told him it don't pertain to me because I've been demoted from FT to SE.... He said, "yes, the letter is vague, but it does pertain to FT as well as SE...." yeah right, we'll see.

Call KS and call your bank. Why ask here?

If they don't call you within 15 minutes, you should call them. There
is no excuse for leaving you sitting by a phone all day. At the very least, an e-mail explaining why the delay. If this is the way they train, how do they pay. Do you really want to work for a company who thinks so little of your time?
Dell customer service is overseas. I have had a Dell, a
Toshiba Satellite, and an HP. The Dell was a piece of junk from day 1. The HP hard drive crashed after 4 to 5 years, but otherwise no problems. I bought a Toshiba about 6 months ago and it is okay, nothing special. I was looking at the Sony Viao and the salesman said that some laptops are made to be portable, but that the Sony was not one of them, but the Toshiba was. My keyboard also has a numerical pad on it, but it throws the other keys off a bit, so when I'm in a portable mode and don't have room for an external keyboard it really slows me down. I have a Duo Core processor and notice no difference whatsoever in speed, the number of programs I can have open, etc. I have also noticed that even when I am not on battery power that every so often the battery is charging. I don't know if this is a defect or something that is supposed to happen, but I need to investigate it.
Thanks for your support!
I appreciate it! and you are not "just" an MT...it is a noble profession. I am an MT, too, just have many years of experience. I'm still proud to say that I am an MT

Thank you all for the support. My PCP's office called me back with the GYN appt. and I was talking to the nurse who works for him. She told me it showed ASCUS and to not worry too much about it.
Never having had anything abnormal come back before, I immediately began freaking out. It is nice to know you have the support of your online MT family to help calm your nerves. They must not be too worried about because I can't get in to the GYN for 3-1/2 weeks. I will try not to worry.
Thanks again!
He needs to support you more.
If this is going to make things better for you in your work area, then he should stand behind you 100%. I would just go get it. I just got one last week because my hands were hurting, and it has helped tremendously. I can't say I had to go through my husband though because when I said I thought I could use one, he said you should got get one. I understand sometimes income isn't always there and other things are more important and it's always nice to feel like your husband is behind you, so I would try talking to him again and trying to make him see things from your point of view. Hope you made any sense of out this! Thanks and good luck!
