Security updates, patches, etc - MS will stop all that in 2014

Microsoft will stop all security patches and upgrades, etc which will make any XP computer more vulnerable to attack. That's what they mean by Microsoft support.
XP? MM computer? - dnr

When they were getting ready to roll out Fluency 7, they sent out computers with Win 7. I think Fluency runs faster on Win 7.
They sent me XP, not Windows 7 - BH

After we downloaded Fluency, my XP didn't seem to have enough RAM, so they sent me a new computer. Guess what it was? It was XP, not Windows 7.
my new computer should come tomorrow or Tuesday - i will let you know what they send me
Does anyone know if it is possible to get 2 Mmodal computers? I live with my youngest son and my oldest would like me to stay with him half the week- just wondering if I could have an Mmodal computer at 2 different locations. ...
computer for years. I had a Windows 7 which quit running and they sent me an old XP from Cornerstone (I work on Fluency) that is about useless. My question is, did everybody who had company-owned get upgraded to Windows 7 or are some of you still on XP? I wanted to know before I call and gripe to "Phil" TIA ...
Is DSG owned by MQ? New employee, thought I was leaving the Q... DSG uses DocQScribe, and I notice when I log in it still says MQ. Also if there are problems with DQS, we are told to contact MQ? How is it that DSG has MQ work when MQ MT's are out of work? ...
Obviously we highly-skilled MTs were used as collateral in this "merger, " which I see as an acquisition since we are expected to submit our personal information to iMedX. I really feel betrayed. I am out of here. Nobody owns me!!! ...
What if a bunch of us extremely experienced, practically-out-of-work-at-the-present-time transcriptionists created our own MTSO, cooperatively owned by all of us, and DONE RIGHT? Just an idea. No need to be greedy, emphasis on keeping that sensitive information at home, and, most of all, quality and accuracy. We are all looking bad these days because MT pays NOTHING any more, so the positions are filled by people who have no idea what they're doing. It just isn't right.
I am just havi ...
After reading about that poor Swiss woman who was vacationing in India with her husband and being gang raped by 8 men, does anyone else's skin crawl just knowing we work for a company owned by India and their total disregard for women ?? ...
Does anyone have a list of American owned MT companys??...or have all of them gone to connections with India. I would like to work for an American Owned Company---any suggestions??? ...
I just followed some post on this board to a woman who has a medical transcription blog. She has followed the domains all the way back to 2002 and claims that this board is now owned and registered to someone in Pakistan and she has copies of the documents showing it right there on the site. Very interesting. Link below

Well this explains why all our work is disappearing to India. Medquist sold out to CBay, which operates out of India. Anyone know of any USA companies that are hiring? This is just outrageous and disgusting.

I have an opportunity to do transcription independently for a physician. Does anyone know what the best equipment and software would be to do this? I've always worked for a company and have no clue where to begin. Thanks! ...
Click Like for yes, it is company-owned (and covered if it crashes, i.e., money does not have to come out of your pocket)
Click Dislike for no, it is your own personal PC (and not covered if it crashes, you get no money to cover it and have to shell out $500 for a new PC). ...
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could assist me in a little project I'm working on. I'm compiling a list for someone of the companies that provide you with a computer for doing transcription on.
Not asking anybody to do the work for me, but if you would like to share the name of a company who does this, I'd appreciate the info.
Thanks and have a great day.

Received an email I am to get a faster/more updated computer from MQ. Are we getting ready to turn over to a new program. Have not seen anything posted and was just wondering. ...
Hi all, I purchased a new computer over Christmas with a very large screen due to having poor eyesight. Everything seems fine until I get into ChartScript, where everything is so very, very small. It is worse than with my smaller screen. I have to literally stand up and put my nose to the screen to make sure I have correct patient info in the demographics, etc. Any suggestions? Is there something on the screen itself I can adjust, or do you think it is within ChartS ...
Just wondering if anybody who uses their own computer to do MT uses a laptop? I've had some problems with my computer and now need to take it in for repairs again, and I was considering getting a laptop as a backup so that I would still be able to work while my desk top computer is out of service. Any advice on what type of laptop to get? Thanks much. ...
(Moderator - please do not move to tech forum as this is a Medquist problem with Kapersky anti-virus program)
I spent several hours this past week trying to install Kapersky, and it would not install, so I called tech support and ended up escalating the problem to "Systems Administrator." She called back and remotely went into my MQ computer and installed the program.
While I was on the phone with her, I told her that others were having a problem with Kapersky slowing down ...
How do you go about this? Do you have to call tech and get permission? Or just download
DQS, etc? I was hoping to use my own computer, which is a much more powerful computer than this outdate POS I have from MQ; I think it's the reason I have so many probs in DQS--the worst being the lag in typing....I have to constantly wait for what I have typed to "catch up" with me.......so annoying. Not to mention takes forever to upload a job, etc.
But wondering if we are tec ...
I know all the techies out there will say I must "get with the times", but I absolutely hate computers! It isn't enough that you have to learn a new platform for each and every company you work for, but they think you should know all the regular "computer stuff" as well. I don't use my computer for anything except work, email, and to look things up because I don't want to-- but everybody expects you to be a computer expert today, like it or not. If they didn' ...
Everyone acts like it's all something new not to be provided a computer. As a former recruiter, let me tell you that 98% of equipment sent out was not returned and this very expensive for any company. It's not Nuance's fault XP will no longer be protected. There is no reason to go in debt for a new computer when you can easily buy one for less than 200, and remember it's all tax deductible and they have the loan plan if you meet the qualifications.

Hi there - i work for a hospital but we were sent home to type 1 year ago. Now my Norton's antivirus is up I was just told by the director of our department that I have to pay for the subscription myself ($45!) and then be reimbursed by the hospital....is this the way it is done? Seems to me it is a little iffy - just wanted some opinions....thanks! ...
I have a friend who lead MT at a radiology group and she tells me that they are using software that reads parts of an x-ray. It can detect where the calcifications are. I wonder if the radiologists are thinking they may out of a job just like us someday. ...
