I had to reinstall Vista due to a crash. That meant reinstall Express Scribe. The new 4.16 version showed "ZERO DURATION" and wouldn't play my dss files. I tried the suggested 4.15 version, but same thing.

Then I tried the older 4.05 suggestion (from http://www.nch.com.au/scribe/index.html choose "primary"). PHEW! It didn't play at first, but then I remembered to also download the component "dss32.exe" from http://www.nch.com.au/components/index.html. It works better than ever! I hope this helps someone to know that these steps helped me. If you download the older versions, get the dss component too, or else it won't work!

THANKS to all of you who threw suggestions out for us, WITH posted links!

Same here -- I'm new to this board because of this problem. This is really a big issue for those of us whose work depends on these files. Thank goodness I can still access the .dss files on my laptop, but it is really a pain to download the files to one computer and then type them on another. As anyone heard when this might be fixed?
