Hello I have a transcriber who is running Vista and having lots of trouble getting started. She managed to get under way and did one page, but when she launched BMD Verify it came up with the "run-time error 429 ACTIVEX COMPONENT CANT CREATE OBJECT." This same message now comes up when she tries to open WinBMD. She has tried reloading the program, to no avail and has also tried to follow the instructions in 3b in the helps files. Can anyone help please? Thanks Sue Coordinator of The Recordsmiths Syndicate of volunteer transcribers working for FreeBMD. See http://www.freebmd.org.uk/ for details of the project.

Hello Sue I suggest that, after closing down her computer and leaving it a while and then starting it again 1) She creates a folder in 'Documents' called 'FreeBMD' 2) She opens WinBMD and in the 'File' menu sets 'Define Save Path' to C:\Documents\FreeBMD 3) She presses f3 key to save her transcription to the new location 4) She now runs BMDVerify and locates her transcription file from this location It may do the magic. She should also make sure her windows updates are up to date.
