There isn't a whole lot of information there. I have never heard of an antivirus being incompatible with a program. Is is when you are trying to install Escription or what? I use Avast for many years on Windows 7 and occasionally if I try to install something, it will "ask permission." In that case, you have to "allow" it to install. That might be part of the problem that you are experiencing. Also might want to ask this on the Tech Help Board.

I didn't have any trouble with escription. . . - sm

Until after my antivirus was installed. I had my computer upgraded and when I got it home, I signed into escription and briefly listened to a report. THEN I later installed the antivirus. When I went to work this a.m., I kept getting an error message when I tried to open escription. Thanks for your advice.

I have ESET and was told by the I.T. people at my company it was OK to use. I love it, as it even provides "social media" coverage for FB and Twitter. It's awesome. I used Trend Micro before ESET but it didn't catch a lot of stuff.

Is Windows 7 In XP Mode Compatible With Editscript
Nov 01, 2010

Hi there. I have taken a job with a company who uses editscript which they tell me is only compatible with Windows XP. I am running Windows 7. On microsofts home page they have a download that will allow you to run 7 in XP mode for compatibility with older programs. I wondered if anyone has tried this or had any experience with this issue and editscript. I could just load a second OS on my computer but this download woud be much simpler and cheaper. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank ...

Hi, My 3-year-old Windows XP laptop crashed on Monday; thankfully my 7-year-old Windows XP desktop still chugs along (slowly) and I've been able to do my transcription work without a glitch (for the most part). However, I need to get a new laptop, and I'm going to be buying a Windows 7 laptop. My boyfriend already has a Windows 7 and he is testing my transcription software and foot pedal on the virtual Windows XP mode that Windows 7 Professional comes with. The problem is that while ...

I just wanted to say how grateful I am for this board.  I posted a few weeks ago how I hated Kapersky and how it kept updating while I was working and stalled my computer out.  Some great advice was posted on this board about exiting the program and running when YOU want, not when MQ decides to run it and also names of other virus protection programs other than Kapersky (and McAffee which is just as bad).  I tried exiting Kapersky which worked okay, but I finally removed it and in ...
