mtmom Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I have been using Express Scribe for quite some time. I recently upgraded to Version 4.35. Now EVERY TIME I open the Express Scribe program, the Welcome dictation file pops into the player and starts playing. This is nothing more than annoying, but I'd really like to make it go away. Any suggestions? B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damian Lettie Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Now EVERY TIME I open the Express Scribe program, the Welcome dictation file pops into the player and starts playing. Resize the main window, close the application, then relaunch it. Did the main window keep the new size, or has it reverted to the default size? If it reverted to the default size then Scribe probably doesn't have permission to write to the registry. If Scribe can't write to the registry then you will see strange behaviour, like the welcome message repeating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it flush against the left side of your screen? If so, could you move it to the right a bit and try again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I moved it and then resized again and closed the program. When I re-launched, the Welcome dication did not come back!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Why that worked makes no sense to me whatsoever, but it worked, and that's what counts!!! B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
