MQers: Has anyone tried - sm

Posted: Jun 05, 2011

to put Medquist's DQS onto a Windows 7, 64-bit computer, and did it work? Before or after MQ's latest upgrade of DQS? I'm reading mixed results... (Moderator, please please please leave this on MQ's page as it's not just a tech question but is specifically about MQ, and MQ employees who have tried this are more likely to see it here.)

just tried - sm

after reading your post and still locks up and won't download for me. I was hopeful.

Has anyone heard when MQ is going to - sm

do anything about this? What are the tech people for?? As of Windows 8, there won't be anymore 32-bit available... MQ needs to get on the ball!

It won't work in Win 7 64 bit unless you use it in - elle

the virtual XP (available in Professional version of Win 7). I have found virtual XP to run a bit slow - so might as well use the MQ computer (which are disgustingly slow)

Does the pedal work when you run it in virtual XP? - nm

I don't work for MQ, but I do use DQS and we recently upgraded to 6.1, and we were told NOT to upgrade if we had Windows 7 64-bit, but 32-bit was okay. This was only a couple of weeks ago, so I doubt anything has changed since that time.

I donâ��t work for MQ but when I was taking one of those creepy Career Step tests, I had a problem with the typing. I called tech support there and they told me to change the bit number on my Windows 7 PC to 32 bit and it worked. Call the tech support people at your PC company and ask them how to do it.

Search the board? - MT

Whenever anybody asks this question, I answer, but have answered many times before, so this will be the last time.

I work for MQ. No DQS will not work on Windows 7 64-bit computer. I tried for a long time, finally gave up. Another poster on this board (Thanks ket) gave me advice to try VMware player, a virtual computer. I had tried Windows 7 Pro virtual computer, but the footpedal would not work.

The VMware player works great (its free)and I have been using it for over a month now, no problems whatsoever. Its like having 2 computers on 1 desktop. I run DQS on the virtual XP machine and everything else on Windows 7, best of both worlds. Better and faster than the old clunker XP machine I had.

Let us say it's April 1st. You're not going anywhere. You're planning on working and you report as scheduled throughout the pay period. How many of you can predict, let's say within 5%, what you'll make during the pay period with everything taken into consideration? ...

First, I suppose I have come across here in a tone that was bitter and hateful. I ask forgiveness for that. Now, to tell me I am wrong for venting my hatred (wow, where did that come from) and venom on here was extremely hurtful to me. I have read many, many, many posts here on this board; which is meant to be a place where we can share and vent supposedly without recrimination and some empathy. And there are many who are also long-time employees who have serious medical ...

It is a targeted approach to culling the workforce. Through attrition, they are cutting their workforce needs. Only those with the skill set they WANT will survive. This approach is very effective. They can change the standards/requriements at any given time and then let you go without recourse for not meeting those. CBay is taking more and more work offshore. The need for US MTs is less and less. They will eventually have only a literal handful of US MTs left. ...
