Hi Katrin, I sympathise. My version of Dragon 9 is playing up at the moment too. Its latest trick is to run for about 20 mins when I first switch it on and then suddenly shut down with the message "abnormal program termination". Sometimes I can switch it back on and it comes back again, but usually does the same thing after another 20 minutes and then refuses to pick up dictation at all unless I reboot the computer. Very annoying. The only temporary solution I've found, which usuall... See more Hi Katrin, I sympathise. My version of Dragon 9 is playing up at the moment too.

Very annoying. The only temporary solution I've found, which usually helps for a little while, is to go to Manage Users under Files, click on Advanced and then Restore. A helpful chap on the DNS support line gave me that tip a while ago and it certainly works for me, but something is obviously corrupting the user files somewhere along the way. I wondered whether upgrading to DNS 10 would help - does anyone have any positive experience to indicate that it does?

I bought DNS 9.51 two and a half years ago. I use it exlcusively by dictating into a recorder and running the resulting file through DNS. In total I have produced about 1750 digital recordings of around 10 minutes each (the maximum that DNS seems to cope with) In all this time I have never had any of the problems many posters have referred to except once when my computer crashed in the middle of recording and my profile seemed to have got lost (which meant redoing the 15 minutes of Space Odyssey...

Whenever the power has suddenly failed (especially as a result of buidlign owrkers not informing me what they are doing, or local thunderstorms) I have had no problem whatosever when starting up again. I was thinking of upgrading to DNS 10, but now I would be afraid that it might not perform as reliably. ▲ Collapse | | | Claudio Porcellana (X) Italy
