After reading all the messages regarding where files of transcripts are stored when saved . I would just like to say that a picture is worth a thousand words. When I have a new transcriber who is having problems I send them a screenshot of WinBMD . Along with the screen shot I send detailed instructions on how to change the default settings to a place they would recognise more easily. i.e. Storing their TRANSCRIBED FILES in the DOCUMENTS folder. So far this has worked and everybody seems quite happy. They don't have to go searching their hard drives for folders, which can prove daunting for new users of computers. Keith Gandalf Syndicate
A good idea about a picture, this just adds to my earlier comment it is easy to find my WinBMD files: As in: http://www.btinternet.com/~allan_raymond/WinBMDSceen.jpg Allan Raymond ----- Original Message ----- From: "Keith Simpson" <Ksimpson68@btinternet.com> To: <freebmd-syndicates@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2009 6:00 PM Subject: re Windows Wish List After reading all the messages regarding where files of transcripts are stored when saved .

Keith Can you please send me the screen shots of the advice you give your volunteers who are installing WinBMD on Vista PC? At long last I've managed to get one volunteer who was experiencing "Run time error 429 ActiveX component can not create object" to get WinBMD to work on Vista. I used your screen shot approach and would be interested to see the advice you give to your volunteers who may be experiencing the "Run time error" problem.
