busy computer - mystified


Posted: Sep 15, 2010

Every evening around 10 p.m. or so my computer starts "thinking."  It sounds like its downloading information and its preventing me from trying to work fast.  Just wondering if anyone else has this problem lately.  I did the update when it was supposed to be done. TIA.

grrrr there was no "supposed to be done" date. - nm

Mine does it, been griping for 2 weeks now - anon

Thanks all. I see its not just me.

Do you have an anti-virus program? Mine does - that shortly after startup, when - sm

it is scanning the entire computer for viruses. I'm glad it's scanning, but it makes a lot of noise while it's doing so, and the computer is slower while it's scanning. Anyway, maybe yours is set to scan at 10 pm.

BUSY!
Jul 23, 2013

Has anybody noticed how ridiculously busy it's been and it almost seems like you are working alone?  I wonder how many have quit since the last quarter when i'm sure a bunch lost their bonuses?   I lost bonus, and I ALWAYS made bonus before the "realignment." Working for these thieves is making me a very, very bitter person, and I hate feeling this way.  I feel trapped.  I love the profession but I hate Nuance. What kind of greedy SOB owns this company?  They t ...

Transcend, Are They Busy?
Mar 24, 2010

Periodically I see ads from Transcend on the Job Seeker's Board for full-time transcriptionists, I think they even encourage people to apply for full time as opposed to part time.  Anyway, when I read on the company board it sounds like people are always running out of work?  What percentage of work does Transcend offshore, over 50%?  Don't want to bother applying if there isn't a consistent workload and I don't have time to babysit and monitor work queues.&nbs ...

I remember she worked at Medquist and was on here a lot offering advice through all the changes. She shared how she worked through the first pay cuts in 2005 or around that time by working just three and a half days a week (lots of hours) and earning the highest production bonus possible. I believe she was also in school getting her MD? She was very informative, and wondered if anyone has heard from her, if she's here, still working at M-Modal or if she got her degree? ...


No Work All Week, Now We're Busy And I'm Exhausted.
Sep 05, 2014

I'm exhausted from sitting around doing nothing just about all week. I cannot believe the mismanagement of this company from the TSMs to the COMs and those higher. Why can't someone figure this out? We MLSs know how to figure out minutes, MLS availability, etc., but we're not allowed to give any suggestions, etc., because we're just lowly MLSs. The COMs are particularly useless and a waste of corporate dollars. More money taken from MLSs to give to someone with a title that m ...

I am in the process of transitioning jobs and will be going from a company-provided computer to my own.  Any suggestions on what software programs are needed, virus protection, word expanders, line counting, and hardware like foot pedal?  The hospital I am looking into will be using Microsoft Word.  Any comments on whether this is a good program or not to transcribe on?  Any tips?  I have been with the same company for 15 years, so have been out of the loop and need ...

Does anyone know what the problem might be?  Tech support has already increased the virtual memory capa ...

Computer Age VS 6.1
Sep 10, 2010

I 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, 2010

Need 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 turned off the "check as you go" spelling feature to get rid of that distracting wiggly red line.  When I upload a document, and a mis-spelling is picked up, what's with all the lame suggestions.  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 ...
