I cannot access hotmail today either (not sure what IE7 is) :) nm

I use MSN/hotmail and
have never had any problems. As mentioned before, a lot of companies will not allow you to use AOL. I worked for a company one time that would not allow you to have any part of AOL on your system, not even the AIM messenger.
Hotmail is the same way - you can see what it is sm
and who sent it before you open it. If it's spam or junk mail, you can delete it or send it to the junk mailbox without opening it at all.
MSN and Hotmail
Anyone else having trouble accessing these today?
Accessing hotmail
I think it must be a server thing or the number of ppl accessing. I have a hotmail account and I could not get there today, no matter what I did. and I have IE7 also. I went through Windows Live Messenger. I even googled and tried to get in that way and all my other sneaky ways to get around problems. As you can see, I finally got through. You just have to be one step ahead of them i guess. Try some of your Windows Live programs, that is what I do and did. Good luck.
I've had a Hotmail account for years
They are updating it to "Windows Live Hotmail" which is much more like Outlook Express. You have 2 gigs of free storage space if you need it. I only use a fraction of that - it is the address I use when I'm ordering something online so I won't get tons of spam in my "regular" email.
Updating
Perhaps I am on the wrong board, but I need to update my equipment (have Windows 98 with Office 97) and need to start working from home. I need to order a new tower, of course, and new software. I don't have the money to spend, so I would like to know what I should ask for to work in order to qualify for home, i.e., the minimum amount of memory; what I need to attach a foot pedal, etc., etc. Some of the e-mail "bargains" I am getting offers for this time of year will have in the small print "no USB or parallel ports." I am totally confused and would appreciate any help I can get. I am getting off a DOS-based WP 5.1 program after many, many years. There is a computer store nearby and he builds computers to your needs, but he is very, very business-like and a "no-nonsense" person (Japanese, hard-working). You have to tell him exactly what you want. He has absolutely no clue about medical transcription needs. Have plenty of acute care experience but need your help so I won't "waste" my money on useless "bargains" and need to start testing on line for the new year. Right now, I have AOL dial-up as well. So you see, I do need your expertise and in the Christmas spirit, if you would e-mail me, I sure would appreciate it. I need to get back to doing what I love to do after a year's relocation. Thanks and God bless.
Answers to Updating
I did receive some good advice and some thoughtful e-mails with regard to updating. I want to emphasize what a wonderful board this is and a credit to our profession. I want to thank the administrator(s) and all those who respond positively and offer their expertise and are always willing to help their fellow MLS people. I wish you all a wonderful holiday season. I celebrate Christmas myself and have found the joy of the gracious hearts of many people on this board are my Christmas present(s). It is your presence, your thoughtfulness at this time which make my holiday a happy one. No matter which religion you believe in or whether or not you believe, I believe in you, all of you. Have a wonderful, wonderful rest of the year and peace and happiness in 2006. Thank you for this board! You are my family and I am so grateful to be here with you. If we help each other, the load is not that heavy,
I am updating my resume as we speak.
Decided not to wait any longer. I can't afford to sit here either. Today is horribly slow. Thanks to those who responded.
Problems Updating in MT World
I also use MT World for my job. I had the very same problem. I upgraded from Microsoft Office 2002 to Microsoft Office 2003. I also had a "corrupt" auto-correct file.

I sent you an e-mail.
Updating word expander

Unless we are transcribing, we are losing money. This is why a relative decent line rate is not asking for a lot, I believe.

I do think we should all have a savings account though. I have 17 hours of PTO that I am going to cash in.

DOH!
I would switch your dial up provider before you spend a lot of money updating computer. sm
that particular provider you mentioned puts lots of unnecessary "crap" on your computer.

Of course you can access them

What do you mean you have no program to access them?


Why can't you just do a file search?


 


1.80 for me ... have to use their access. nm

Am I the only one who could not access this
s
Access sm
I had a terrible time and kept restoring my computer to an older date late Sat., early Sun.. I think it just showed me how valuable this site is to me. I would hate anything to happen to it. Glad to see it back!!
I can access it.
If you still have trouble after scanning for malware, you might want to try polycola.com and see if you can access Google through there.
access disconnect
They disconnect the phone line and you see on your computer that the connection was disconnected.  Then they only can get back in when you let them, by clicking on an icon and working with them at your end to get them into your computer.  Dont worry, it is done all the time.  You will see the disconnect on your screen.
It's very frustrating trying to access
This qualifies for the Stupid Business Decisions award.
What are you using to access their FTP site?
You don't use Internet Explorer to access FTP sites.  You can download CoreFTP Lite for free and use it to upload and download from FTP sites.  If you want to, you can email me and I'll try to walk you through it.  Win98 shouldn't make a difference with regard to FTP.  As far as docking pay, well, hmmm, that's mean of them.  Anyway, download the FTP program and email me, and I'll see if we can't get you up and running.
But, I can access all other web sites
So, would it really be my Internet Explorer causing the problem???

I use to go to this one web site where I could always log on even during them updating the site but many others could not - some could, some could not. I just have a feeling this may be the same type of thing - something with the website itself or else I would have problems with other websites, wouldn't I? I can access any other website I want but this particular one - wwww.weightwatchers.com

I thought maybe I needed to clean out my cache or whatever as they may have changed something where it keeps using something on my computer that is old/no longer valid in order to access the site but wouldn't everything I have done so far have eliminated a possible problem such as that??? I did not actually go in and delete anything in any cache so I don't know if that may need to be done yet and, if so, I have no idea where to go and/or which one(s) I need to do that with.

Thanks so much for trying to help. I sincerely appreciate it.
can't access right now, but try Kansasii or something like that

Same here..with ExText cannot access...
voice file unless asked for the voice file. Only QA has access. You can pull up the report just no voice file.

work. Not a problem.
Wireless access?
So how do you have access to the internet along the way? Satellite?

/Would absolutely LOVE to do this as husband is schoolteacher off all summer, but I'm always working.
Wireless access. sm

In my past dial-up days, I used pay phones and calling cards to upload/download work. It is so much easier to connect to the Internet than it used to me because wireless access points are everywhere! (I am an IC and download voice file; I don't have to be connected to a system to receive work so if that is your situation, you may not find it as easy to work on the road.)


Depending on what wireless card you have, you can either use that software or Windows to find a wireless network to access the 'net. I've hit access points in campgrounds (that's our big pasttime), from parking lots at community colleges, hotels, libraries, Panera, McDonald's and even open home networks from the grocery store parking lot.


Your BIGGEST issue in all of this, however, is security. Make sure that you're using encryption to both send and receive; a VPN client is even better if your company has that set up.


You may want to buy an AC/DC power converter (about $35 at Wal-Mart) that plugs into your car's lighter. You then plug your computer's power cord into the unit for power.


Footpedals can be optional, depending on your software. I know that with ExpressScribe you can use the F keys to control playback, etc.


I have always had an access # assigned....
If you could get into a records system without a private passcode, that would be a major HIPAA situation! I always have a sign-in ID asigned by the facility for any C-phone account I have worked; but it is strange that you are hearing a beep and not an operator giving instructions. I've never had that situation before. If you don't have an account Lead you can contact to get help, I'm thinking you'd best tell your employer this isn't working! Good luck.
Do you have access to DSL or cable?

What you're thinking of doing may be more stressful to you than you think. The price for the high-speed Internet would certainly be worth it.


Help - I can't access my Email
It lets me sign in but the page says unavailable or something like that, the error page that comes up if you can't get on the Internet.  It happens on two different accounts - verizon and yahoo. and on both computers in my home.  I was chatting live with support for an hour and I accidentally closed the chat and I'm too tired to start over again.  Anybody know what happened?  Sorry if this is the wrong board for this.  Thanks in advance
No productivity access
Did you request a copy of the productivity log submitted by the hospital? That is all you have to do if your company did not submit one to you automatically. In addition, keep your own private long with accession numbers and times, anything you would need to support a discrepancy. There are a lot of programs out there that do not support that type of operation, so do not think you are being lied to. Just make sure they are right.
Has anyone ever let the company they work for access your..sm
computer for tech help? The place I am starting with has a program I need to download and use. I am having problems with the program and they didnt offer much help via emails. They just wanted me to "register" my computer so that they could access it and find the problem and fix it themselves. This sounds extremely dangerous to me. If they can access my computer to fix it, then what stops them from coming in to look around at personal info, such as on line banking info, or other personal info? Also, my husband has a lot of high security stuff from his job on his computer and since we are all hooked together, could they access that too? Sounds really odd to me. Has anyone else heard of this? Thanks.
Yes, I've let my company access my computer.
I used to do the same for one of my MT clients and for remote users as a computer technician.  You can sit there and watch everything they do.  It's not like they're hacking your computer or keylogging your data.  You can shut them down if you're uncomfortable with what they're doing, and delete their access capability when they've finished.
THank you! Many people have access at this monitor.
Thank you!!
There is internet access but they charge big $$$

We went on a cruise in April and I did not even think of work.  It would not have been financially beneficial.  I would have paid more in internet fees than I would have been making.  I would just go and enjoy yourself. 


Digital Access Transcription

What can anyone tell me about Digital Access Transcription as a company?  I searched the Archives and came up with nothing.  I have not gone to the "other site" yet.  Just wondering in looking for different companies and what they have to offer pros and cons.


 


thanks


Fair Access policy
I have DW7000 professional and even with the extra download and upload capability they will still shut me down if I go over their limit. Also I am on SatMex and have had occasional trouble as long as I have had the system. Sometimes I just want to run over the dish and modem with my Jeep!!
C-phone access code ?? sm - HELP!
I bought a C-phone from E-bay.  When dialing a number, I get a message telling me I must use the "access code."  I am sure this is something that was put in there by the previous owner(s).  Can someone tell me how to "erase" this directive or clear the machine?

Satellite Internet Access

I am currently living in rural Iowa, and my only options for Internet access right now are dial-up (can you say S-L-O-W ?) and satellite.  I know I can get HughesNet and WildBlue.  My questions are:


1.  Are there any other providers I may have missed?


2.  Anyone have experience with HughesNet or WildBlue or any other satellite access for MT work?


I have to make a decision on this within the next week or two, so any help would be much appreciated.
