then go into something called Intel Extreme Graphics, and then rotation.   Set it back to normal.  This should work.

Check control panel?
Look under control panel/printers and faxes and make sure the printer didn't get changed, or maybe just click on it again.

Also, make sure all the cables on back of printer and computer are tight.
EXText: ESP control panel?

I am new to this whole "platform" business (used to type strictly from tapes or from dictaphone system tank in hospital) and noticed under Tools the ESP control panel (or something like that).  Is this an expander?  How does it work?


Thank you


If you go to Start, Control Panel and
Sounds you can change things under the Sounds tab and play around with it. Don't know which listing you would have to uncheck as I don't know if that is a popup window or what, but it is a place to start.
Look in your control panel for "foot pedal" if you - sm
have XP and see how it is set up.
Try Folder Options in Control Panel.

Go to the View tab and then click Show hidden files and folders.  I hope this works.


You also might have to go to Control Panel/Game Controller, and add it in there. nm

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!

Thanks so much!
Control-settings....
Thanks so much - still having problems.  Got the wizard to work on a couple of ports, but only to the push rewind pedal - then will do nothing - locks up and goes crazy with buttons on Express Scribe flashing continuously...any ideas?

I had the same problem and had to uncheck the box "Quick tap on play pedal locks play on" and the problem was solved.


Same thing happened to me.

If she is your boss, you really do not have much choice if you want to continue to work for her.  I subcontracted for an IC for 6 months and also used my Instant Text line counter, and she used the Word character count.  I had a rude awakening when I got my paycheck.  I really did not have a choice, and my opinion did not matter, as she was my boss, and I needed the experience.  I now have my own accounts, and use my Instant Text word counter.  I agree with you, a keystroke is a keystroke.


You are exactly right. The same thing happened to me and (sm)
I regret it. I also thought that it was the right thing to do at the time, but If I could go back in time I definately would have done something different. I also picture him or her at different ages and I also had 2 children later on.
Same thing happened to my son...sm
He was applying for a job through a placement agency, had just been put on antibiotics, sinus medication, decongestants and cough medicine.  He had a list of  the meds, but they said it didn't matter. If anything showed up at all they would not place him.
Same thing happened before, never
can it be documented, asked to see, no copy of which they speak.
Same thing happened to me
The same thing happened to me, at this company she wouldn't respond to my e-mails and I never did get my final check.  She told me I was unreliable too and said she would pay me a line rate and then didn't pay the line rate on my  check that she said she originally verbally agreed on.  They didn't owe me very much so it wasn't worth my while pursuing it and it was frustrating me so much I just chalked it up to a very bad experience.  Good luck I hope you have better luck than I did.
SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME
you know, i had the SAME thing happen, not that I was posting like you do, but...what I posted I was "called out " on...gee, wonder how that happened?????
The same thing just happened to me.
I found out I was typing something wrong for 14 years, and through all the jobs I have had and all the QA people who have reviewed my work, nobody ever mentioned it.  Kind of embarrassing. 
Yes this has happened before, not a new thing
We are talking years ago, as in 1960s I applied for a job at telephone company, Bellsouth and was told I had passed their test and could have the job but would need to lose 20 lbs. They now would probably think I was a gob as we are talking probably 175 at the most compared to 200 now. This is not a new thing. What did she say that made you think more interested in girth? I Mine was really straight forward, no getting around that. There was nothing to be filed then because of what I might consider to be discriminatory. I think you are possibly feeling a little on the defensive and you said nothing about what actually happened when you worked inhouse. Being badgered, that can happy with any work situation, be you thin or heavy. Maybe it is how you are perceiving youself.
Same thing happened to me.
My biggest account, a group of 9 doctors went EMR a few years ago... Yup... it was all gone. I stayed on and did some scanning of old records into the ERM (at low office wage), until I found another MT job at home. Had to go with a National though, which has been a real adjustment as far as time management, etc., I was IC before, but pay was better than staying on being an "office girl". Anyway during the transition many promises were made about "no you won't completely be out of a job" etc. but as it turned out the amount of transcription that would have been done into the EMS system was not worth the trouble to even try to keep. And no way could I have done it on production, since the system they had was very cumbersome and "mouse" inclinded. They currently have an "office girl" typing in things. Yes, the EMR can be somewhat more efficient but the actual records are a mess.. I mean everyone is putting stuff into your chart/file... from the front office "just out of high school help" to the physicians...who lets face it, are very intelligent about being doctors, but are not quite up to speed on transcription, etc. But they just don't really care, it's more economical. Now when you go and see the doctor, basically you just talk to a bobbing head "nurse or doctor" who nods at you while they try to peck away the the keyboard.. Progress???
The same thing happened to me.

set up the outside company since you know the most about the work and supervisors, management, etc. do not.  Then, they outsource it all and that outsourced company offers you a job.  It happens time and time again. 


The problem with in-house typists is that they must give you sick time, vacation, etc., and then the work does not get done.  So, by outsourcing, they have no need to worry about the overhead of these problems.  Sad, but true!


I was smarter and resigned before they used me up.  But of course, I was right, they outsourced it all, but I wasn't there to give it to C-Bay on a silver platter, so now the C-Bay has my in-house account and are doing a horrible job.  The techs are having to proof the work, and they certainly are not providing 24-hour turnaround.  Phewee on them..... 


The same thing happened
to me, I did not find out until about 7 p.m. that night when I quit working and went in and turned the TV on.
The same thing happened to me

I worked in-house for a while and the files were clear as a bell. About a year after I left, I did some work for the same hospital and the files I received were staticky and distorted.


I didn't work with them long enough to figure out the problem (there was a reason I left the hospital in the first place LOL) but one thing I found was that if I listened to the files directly from the folder in my transcription program instead of using the little "mini-control bar," the sound was MUCH clearer.


Hope I'm making sense. I use Olympus DSS. You can leave the main program on and listen to the files from there or you can click and icon and get the "mini bar."


Good luck!


Same thing happened to me
I mentioned this in another post on the board. I never got my 1099 from my previously employer now matter how hard I tried. My accountant said it didn't matter if I received it or not. I just figured out the amount that I was paid from my records, and I sent a letter to the MTSO and told her how much I was claiming and that I hoped her 1099 was going to reflect the same. Even after that not one word from her.
Same thing happened to me...

Although, I do use digital, and unknown to the doctors, I save their dictations on my external hard drive.  I was accused recently of typing a note, but not delivering it. The doc said that she knows she dictated it, but she never received it.  Well, I looked back on my hand written list and there was the patient's name, but it had a NO CHARGE next to it, which means I did not type that note for some reason.  I then relistened to her dictation from that date, and guess what?  Yes, the doc had said that it did not need to be completed.  I called her back to let her know what I found.  No apology, no thanks, she just said, "Oh, I guess I will have to dictate that to you and send it." 


Of course, they forget that while you are searching for these notes, etc., you are not being paid.  I have lost too many hours of pay due to their negligence. 


I would see if you can change to digital, this way you can save every dictation and note from the past very easily. 


 


 


Same thing happened to me
The company told me I had to have Workers' Comp too. I explained to them that I did not, and faxed them a copy of our rules along with their hire packet and I never heard from them again. Their loss!javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
The same thing happened to me.
I don't remember the name of the company, but I saw the appointment written in on the patient list.  About 6 to 8 weeks later, the doctor stopped dictating altogether.  Be prepared that losing the account is indeed a possibility.
same thing happened to me. sm
I have worked since I was 14 years old. Got very very ill back in 1997. Without going into the whole long story, it got to the point because I could not work we nearly lost everything we had. Tried to get help from the state, didn't qualify. I was actually told if I would DIVORCE my husband, then I would qualify for help! I am now 53, doing fine, working and am still married 36 years this July!

Most of the time, the folks that really need the help are exactly the ones who can't get it. People like the original poster do nothing but suck the system dry and live in their own little world of "entitlement."

At least I can sleep at night knowing I didn't rip anyone off!

Sounds like we went through some of the same stuff and all the hassle that goes with it!
This same thing happened to me...
I worked in an office for 5 years and came home to work when my son was in kindergarten...I to had other duties in my office job but I wanted strictly to transcribe and nothing else, so I came home...and boy, what a shocker when I realized I was not as fast as I thought I was and that I had to work a little harder to get the hang of working at home full-time...it was really hard at first but 5 years later I am still at home...I have a 10 year old and a 2 year old and it can be done...just hang in there...please purchase an Expander program..It has saved me so much time and as you know working from home with children we can use all of the extra time in the day we can!!!!
The same thing happened to me. I
got a little worried, but realized it was usually when very hot weather. I did not have much of a problem during the winter at all, but last summer could barely get my shoes on and was wearing those rubber clogs everywhere because nothing else would fit. I started getting up and walking around every hour and it seems to be better so far, but not looking forward to the heat this summer in Phoenix again.
same thing happened to me; i threw a fit with them. sm
i ended up getting my 4th installation under my initial purchase registration # but they did inform me if it happens again, i will have to purchase.  i refuse to although my company requires it.  i haven't ran into needing it again but i am sure i will eventually.  you can buy the (whatever that external USB thing is called) which allows unlimited installs, but not after your initial purchase and i, like you, was not informed about all that as my company purchased for me and withheld from my pay.  win XP does a similar thing and only limits the installs on the software.  i think they both are a bunch of BS.  i pay for it, i deserve to do what i want with it.  can't help my hard drive crashed, etc.
The same thing happened to my neighbor (sm)


She passed with flying colors and then couldn't find a job.  I was amazed, I live in Southern California.


 


That is the exact same thing that happened
to me at MQ.
Same thing happened to me. I dumped them.

Same thing happened to me - grossed me out.

Similar thing happened to us......
We then get a letter from Fidelity telling us the same thing. First of all, who puts all that personal information in a laptop? That should never be allowed. And then they offer a 1 year from Equifax.....whooopeee!!! If your identify is stolen, good luck trying to get Equifax or anyone else to believe you didn't screw up your credit. These companies should have their feet held to the fire.....this is absolutely ludicrous to have this personal info on a laptop.
