ShortCut for Windows with Windows 7 or 8? - nene

Anyone using ShortCut for Windows with Windows 7 or 8?

I should have thought of this - bornfree

because I have a related question. I had ShortCut until recently changing from Windows XP to Windows 7, and now can't get my ShortCut to work/install at all! So unless I can get it back, have to start over. So in addition to OP's question above, if anyone knows how to get ShortCut to work in my case, can you let me know. Thanks

For windows 7 you have to turn off the user controls, the same as it was I think with XP and Vista, the web site tells you how to do it, I have it with windows 7 and it works fine but have not tried it on windows 8.

Sylvan - this is what it says - Before installing Vista and Windows 7 users need to disable the User Account Control in Control Panel. Vista Users: Click Start in Windows, Control Panel, User Accounts & Family Safety, User Accounts, Turn User Account Control on or off. Uncheck the User Account Control box, click OK and reboot your computer. Windows 7 Users: Click Start in Windows, Control Panel, User Accounts & Family Safety, User Accounts, Change User Account Control Settings, drag the bar to the bottom "Never Notify." Click OK and reboot your computer. - Hope this works for you.

I have posted about this SEVERAL times on the technical board. I was told 3 years ago by a tech with Superior Global (they developed the software) that when you install it, it should be run in XP mode.

Shortcut For Windows 8
Dec 30, 2013

I was using an old version of Shortcut for Windows and it was working nicely on my old puter.  I got a new puter for Christmas (Thanks to my hubby - I think he wants me to type faster/more!) and I can't find my disk to load the Shortcut software onto the new puter - I'm not even sure it would work on Windows 8.  Can anyone recommend a word expander similar to Shortcut?  I'm not finding Shortcut for Windows available online.  Anyone?  Thanks - Kathleen ...

Shortcut For Windows Update

ShortCut For Windows And Escription

Does anyone out there know how to use ShortCut for Windows with Escription?  I've used ShortCut for 14 years, have like 46,000 entries.  When I ran it with Escription, the long form would print out, but it would back up 2-3 characters and delete the last 2 characters of the word before it.  For example: HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS:  The patient is...

Windows 7 And ShortCut Text Expander Problems.

So I bought a new PC and it runs Win7. I've got everything up and running, my platform and audio player works great. BUT...I can't get my expander to work properly.  I can install it and start it and it looks like it's running fine but when I enter text that should expand, it just doesn't. At all, in any program (Word, Firefox, notepad, etc). Their site says that it should work just fine in any Windows-based program and it has since Win98, up until now. We all know ho ...


Shortcut For Windows On A Word-based Platform
Jan 30, 2012

I've used Shortcut for Windows for years always on a Word-based platform.  Now I am using it in SpeechMotion which is not Word based.  I need to know if there is anyway in Shortcut to set up a code to jump where I need to enter text.  I have normal templates in Shortcut and have used an * to indicate a jump-to field.  I had a macro in Word that let me jump to the *, but there is no way to set up a macro in SpeechMotion.  Any help would be appreciated.  ...

Has anyone ever wanted to work for a company that only used Windows XP and you had Windows 7 but could virtually move to XP mode?  Could you download their software on the XP mode side and get it to work?  I had a job interview where their software only worked on XP.  I thought I could do that, but I had to also have Word 2003.  I only have 2010, but it has the compatability pack for 2003, BUT the client's software couldn't differentiate that.  If I maybe bough ...

Anyone Use DQS On Windows 7 Yet?

I want to go to my parents house this weekend for Christmas and I have to work.  They live about 4 hours away so I was just going to take my foot pedal with me and download DQS on my dad's computer.  He is nerd so he has this really cool computer so I am not worried about DQS not running on it or anything.  I was just wondering about how DQS runs with windows 7.  I would figure it would just run the same since it is internet based.  I just would hate to not be able ...

Windows 7 64-bit OS And DQS 6.1
Sep 20, 2010

I have read other posts on this site with respect to this subject but just wondering if anyone using Windows 7 is able to use DQS 6.1 64-bit OS with it. Every machine you purchase comes preloaded with it and I want to buy a new machine but if Windows 7 64-bit doesn't work properly, I won't even bother yet. I heard from support that is unsure right now as they are still working on other things, i.e., problems with 6.1.   Thanks for your input!   ...

Can maybe someone answer my question. I purchased a new computer last year with the new Windows 7 home premium operating system. For the Internet Explorer, I have two icons, one on my desktop that strictly says 64-bit, plus there is an IE icon at the bottom of my toolbar that uses 32-bit for some sites (I think because Adobe Flash Player is not compatible with 64-bit OS, is what I was told by an HP tech person). Some companies advertising on the Job Seeker board says can use Windows 7, 32- ...

Windows 8 And DQS
Jan 08, 2013

Just an FYI to anyone thinking of purchasing a laptop, I saw where previously it was stated that Windows 7 programs should work with Windows 8.  That's not true with DQS 7.1.  It will not load with Windows 8.  Support confirmed this, as did my CSM.  After I actually bought it, of course.  If anyone knows a work-around that would make DQS load onto it, please let me know. ...
