Company computer - longtmemt
Posted: Jun 03, 2014
I currently have a company-issued computer and when hired I think I signed the boiler plate agreement not to add any programs. I really want to load my Instant Text so I do not have to rebuild everything. I am not tech saavy so was wondering if the company can tell if I actually put anything on the computer? I know they can go into my computer if I use a program that allows them to get into my machine and make adjustments but not sure if they can monitor it in any other way? Thanks for any insight.

Personally, I get very annoyed when my subs do things with their computers that I specifically ask them not to do after I have made sure that everything is working properly. I don't do it because I am a mean person but because their unknown software may wreak havoc with the platform I have given them to use, and then I get a 2:00 phone call the system has crashed (which I find really annoying!) So please call the company and ask them if it is okay to add your program.

Are There Any Companies Left That Still Provide A Company Computer For Employees? Sm Oct 07, 2012I'm just talking about employees here, not ICs.

If we worked on site, would we be expected to bring in our own computers? I don't think so.
Thanks. ...

Computer Age VS 6.1 Sep 10, 2010I was just wondering how old some computers are that are having problems with 6.1 and if there are people with newer computers that handles it better. Mine is a MQ computer that is 4 years old now and it bogs down quite a bit. Everything is sluggish now. I do have 1 GB of ram and 1.84 GHz, so 6.1 shouldn't take a toll on it as bad as it is. I'm just wondering if I should ask the Q for an upgrade, if that is the problem. Knowing the RAM and proces ...
Help MQ Computer Sep 16, 2010Need help!
I don't use an MQ computer, since they don't want you to put anything personal on it, and most of my life, including banking, is on my computer. My 4-year-old computer crashed and is in the shop for a couple days, and I decided maybe it's time to get a new one. The problem is, DQS requires a 32-bit system, and so far all the new computers I've found are all Windows 7, which is 64 bits. I also want to get a slimline, since it kills my ...

I mean either there just aren't any suggestions at all for a simple mis-spelled word with a single wrong letter, or just a simple word. What happened to the old Q dictionary? It seems every 5 years their dictionary gets worse. When I started 10 years ag ...

Computer Needs Jun 06, 2011Does anyone use a Mac for medical transcription with Windows XP and MT software that requires nothing newer than XP? Also any experience with Windows XP and Medrite XL on a newer computer using Windows 7 and virtual xp? Needing advice before replacing my old computer, which I'm afraid might give out. I would just load XP but supposedly will be transferring to software compatible with Windows 7 sometime in the future. Any ideas appreciated.
