Hello everyone! My main computer abruptly died yesterday
; meanwhile I have three current transcriptions to do for a client (and more coming), so I'm stuck using my 14-year old Windows 95 machine until I can get my main one repaired or replaced. I was delighted
to read that Express Scribe will run on old Win95, so I downloaded it (through a painfully slow 14.4k modem), but I was not so delighted
to find that it wouldn't install itself when I came to try it. I've tried both the zipped version and the unzipped one (curiously, the file size of the setup file within the zipped version is larger than the 'essetup.exe' file.)
When I run essetup.exe, I get the error message "error 0 running command .\setup.exe F", and when I unzip the es.zip file and run the setup.exe file contained therein, I get two error messages: "C:\Program Files\NCH Swift Sound\Scribe\SETUP.EXE A device attached to the system is not functioning" (So far as I know, the system is completely functional), and the other message is "The SETUP.EXE file is linked to missing export KERNEL32.DLL:IsDebuggerPresent." It doesn't do anything beyond that. So, I'm stuck using WinAmp to play the audio for transcribing work, which, as y'all surely know, is terribly tedious compared to using Express Scribe.
If anyone can help me solve this little problem, I'd be much obliged. Thanks!
David
