maybe it's time for a scan disk and defrag....sm

First, I'd do a scan disk and then defragmentation and then reboot the computer. If it's still freezing, perhaps you are running out of space (?) and/or need more RAM (memory) which is cheap to buy today. Also, while you ran a virus scan - do you have a program similar to spybot? They pick up things that sometimes get past your virus scanner. Hope it works out for you!

Have you done spyware scans, defrag, virus scan and reboot? All of these help me. Run spyware
:P
Before you run defrag
Empty your recycle bin, delete as many emails, both sent and received, as you can, then empty your "deleted items" in Outlook Express. Also, you might go through your Word documents and delete anything you don't need any more. If there are any programs you don't use, uninstall them.
Also, open your internet browser, go to Tools, then Internet Options, and click on Delete History and Delete Files.
THEN run defrag. If you use Windows XP, go to Start, then All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and Disk Defragmenter. Click on Analyze. The program will probably tell you that you need to defrag, so then click on Defragment.
Depending on the size of your hard drive, this can take quite a while (I have an 80 gig hard drive and it takes about 45 minutes to an hour). So you need to make sure you do it at a time when you're not going to need your computer for a while.
Do you defrag? I was told (sm)
by 2 different techs at 2 different companies that it wasn't necessary as long as you do a scan disk.
Do you need to defrag? May create more

Set it to defrag automatically once a week. nm

Shutting down/reboot and defrag
Both rebooting your system at least once every day or two, and defragging your hard drive about once a month will pay dividends in terms of system performance.
Scandisk has nothing to do with this. Jeez!

How to defrag? Did years ago and forgot
NM
Scan it in.
Copy the pic. When you go into word, just view "header/footer" and paste in the pic. This has worked for me.
do paragraph, then scan over it
I listen as I go along also. It really gets to be quite easy. To reread the report definitely would cost money. I do a paragraph or so and as the doctor is shuffling papers or gathering his thoughts, not really dictating, I scan down the paragraph to make sure it is okay.
chalasia scan
achalasia cardia scan for gastroesophageal reflux disorder
Just run a scan of the C drive with the AVG - sm
it will scan everything and let you know if it finds anything. It automatically quantines them I believe so you should have any any problams in any case.
executive body scan???
Could this be correct? Outcoming being discovery of gallstones.
try googling "achalasia scan." nm
??
it's true...go to MSNBC.COM and scan down. :-( nm

Please help with PET scan on Word Board
xx
Scan through and hopefully catch mistakes as I go. sm
That don't pay me enough this day and time to proof every single word I type. Take our wages minus IC expenses and we aren't making much. I look at it like you pay for what you get sometimes. Now that isn't to say I don't care about quality as I do. I just proof as I go and try my best to catch it and be accurate but I do have 15 yrs exp and can usually tell immediately if I have made a typo. I may get a he or she mixed up here and there but no major errors in the report.
You have dragon scan your documents and -
it picks up words it does not know and has you train them, and it also recognizes words that you use more than others.
AVG free virus scan
nm
try an off-site, online scan
Go to www.bitdefender.com and use their online scanning. It is very good. If you've got anything, it will get rid of it. Highly recommended.
How to bill for HIDA scan?
I know HIDA scans are nuke med but would they fall into the category of CT/MRI/PET or US/DEXA for billing purposes?
I say CT/MRI/PET but please correct me if I'm wrong.
Has anyone ever heard of or has had a chalasia scan for GERD? sm
My 4 y/o daughter is scheduled to have this done tomorrow AM. I have tried to Google it, but not getting much info on it. She was at a specialist today and they scheduled her to go to the Childrens Hosp for a Chalasia scan, which is also referred to as a gastroesophogeal reflux scan. Any info would be much appreciated. thanks
I do a restart every morning after I run spyware scan.
:P
There is a Technetium MAG3 scan. Not sure about the numbers used.
Hope this helps.
I do the same thing. Then when the report is finished, I scan back through
the whole report to make sure I didn't leave any stop code markers behind, and listen to each blank once again.
First I'd reboot and if that didn't work run a virus scan. nm
Please run your virus scan - got 4 threats detected from going on this site. nm
nm
not a virus, a glitch. if you run a scan regularly, you would see no festations. NM

Norton 360 was installed, I did a full scan, and it found nothing...MUST SM
I downloaded Malwarebytes and it found 12 critical trojans!! As soon as I find a good AV program, I'm totally uninstalling Norton's. Like you, I thought Norton was great and used it for years. Maybe it's just not keeping up with all the techno-creeps out there that have nothing better to do destroy the PCs of working people. UGH!!
Sheesh. Lighten up. It WAS funny. You don't scan the enitre report, or whatever! It was amusing i
Actually, you don't have to answer that...
Try achalasia scan, not a chalasia. Easy one to miss. good luck. nm

disk
BOS 2 recommends disk (pg.140) 
Disk it is thanks
Thank you
disk
About 1999 when I worked in house, we got an AMA article that said they preferred disk.
If MDI goes by BOS, BOS says disk for both. nm

She will need to get the disk...sm
from it's owner to transfer the voice files from the handheld to the computer.
Disc or disk--
I really don't have time to search archives EVERYWHERE.....I tried and am only now more confused. I cannot afford an AAMT BOS--please we are arguing with our doctor--tell me, is it disk or disk and what page is it on in the BOS?????
Disk or disc
same meaning on both is this just a preferance?
Disc/disk - sm
I agree - disc for bone, disk for eye...been doing it that way for 25+years, never heard any different.
Disc v Disk
I have been told AAMT is disk for vertebrae and disc for eyes. However in the hospital I worked for on-site it was disk for vertebrae and many hospitals I've worked for want disk. Personally I don't understand this ridiculousness in MT work, as both are actually correct. So bottom line is -- ask for a/c you are working on. LOL
disc and disk
I vote for what the BOS-2 says regardless of the negative posts here. Look at the book and you won't have to post these types of questions here.
Can I copy IT onto a CD or disk?
I have company issued computer with IT. I would like to know if I could move IT to a CD or disk so that I can put it on my personal computer. I have greatly expanded the glossary to cover my area of expertise over the last one year and do not want to lose this. In fact, I think I would break down and cry if I did. Plus, am thinking of taking on a PT job and would like to utilize this IT on my other computer.
Thank you.
You can only put the glossaries onto a disk..sm
For copyright protection, IT restricts itself from being able to be copied onto a disk and installed onto another computer. The only way to install it is to use the installation disk.
The glossaries, however, can be backed up onto a seperate disk, just not the actual program itself.
Technically, the hospital owns the license so installing it on a personal computer would violate the license agreement. If you would like to have it on your own computer, it is recommended to purchase your own copy so you don't have to worry about anything with the license agreement. 
Run disk c;lean up
It will do all of that automatically and let you decide what you want to do and defrag if necessary, take out unused prpgrams and let you know how much space you can get if you clean it up. Also check the property of yur C drive to see how much space you have left. Should be doing weekly checks on your hard drive.
PRD+ - can someone email it to me? My disk is bad
Hi, can someone email me the PRD+ program? My disc and program which I've used for 15+ years has apparently died before I could transfer it to CD. Thanks!
Disk Defragmenter?
Do you think you might be thinking of defragmenting your disk and then it telling you which files were "fixed"? Because that is under System Tools. Just wondering what operating system you had on the old computer. I have XP on my laptop and 2000 on my old computer and both have the same options on system tools. Just a guess.
Disc or Disk
I still type disc and either is correct. But, I think BOS says type disk.
The BOS3 does not come with a disk.
That way they can charge an annual fee for their internet-based reference package.
disk versus disc
I used to type for a neurosurgeon who requested that I put "disc". So there! Either way is correct.
Have any of you used the free disk that you can pick up at
Just wondering how you liked the service. It is $9.94 month. TIA
My company told us to use disk for
both, though it has been disc for eye and disk for ortho in the past.
You can copy the PRD from windows 98 to a disk and
transfer it to XP. It does not make any difference what windows platform you use because PRD is DOS program and does not need the installation program, just copy to your hard drive.
However, there are a few programming considerations you need in order to get it to work on XP, and the best instructions for this are at a web site at columbia university. I will put that link in an addendum here so you can get the help you really need.
