Yay!! Just found the fix. Downloaded the Express Scribe 5.55 update, which I read on line fixed this problem and it worked!! Could not locate this update on NCH website so went to CNET downloads http://download.cnet.com/Express-Scribe/3001-2079_4-10060252.html?idl=n&spi=54e87feec15c6b5751bbcff1de90ed98 It worked! Hope this helps someone else.

I am having the exact same problem and have never had this before while using express Scribe, even on a different laptop that also runs Win 7. Please help!

I think I am understanding that you mean to use the system restore point listed under control panel? Unfortunately, I have made additions in software and other things lately, so I'm afraid to restore and change any of those necessary utilities. More than likely these changes recently made or a Windows update installed has caused this problem. It is only with .dvf files, not .dss or .wav - they still play perfectly. Grrrrrr... Computers are a necessary evil. :0) Thanks so much for responding. I hope someone has an idea of how to patch this up. I have tried everything else I can think of.

Can't delete this...sorry for second posting.

This is EXACTLY my situation. My dvf files only are now "Mickey Moused." No changes to settings and it happened just a few days ago for who knows what reason. I have been using Express Scribe for years. Happened just all of the sudden. There must be a glitch and we need some help here. I have removed and reloaded the newest version - several times to no avail. Please respond ASAP. Very frustrated.
