It would be so nice if when your medical billing software, if they at least wait until we began to use it before there were problems. Unfortunately, many of the most common problems with the actual installation and operation of the software itself. Sometimes only try, the welcome screen to see is a big challenge. In this installment, we are the most common installation and operational problems and offer some tips for the solution.

The first problem is the people that the software simply will not install. The first thing to do if this happens, it should be read with the software to see what the requirements are. For example, if the requirements say "you must have Windows NT, 2000 or XP" and you are using a MAC, well, the software is certainly not going to run. Do not laugh. People buy, without reading what the system requirements.

Another reason, a piece of software is not installed because the installation program itself may be damaged. It does happen. If you expect that this is the case, exhausted, and everything else, with the company and send another copy of the software.

Another problem is with memory. Most medical billing software is so extensive that it requires a lot of memory available. So, if your software so that they are 256 meg of RAM to run and you have a system with 64 meg, the chances of your software runs on all are slim to none.

Sometimes the problem is with the software is not running, that your ad is not set correctly. Because medical billing software uses screens with a lot of information about them, many of them require more screen resolutions than 800 x 600 If your screen resolution is too low, you can create a message that the software does not run on this resolution. This is simply by changing the resolution of the monitor.

Sometimes a piece of medical billing software will not run, because during the installation there were a number of other programs open. You will notice that when you use the most Windows-based software, it will tell you all the programs in this way before. Some people ignore this and run the installation anyway. What happens is that the registry is not updated, because certain files were in use and could not be accessed. To make sure that the program closed with all programs, including antivirus and firewall.

It is also not uncommon for a medical billing program will not run, because your network is not properly set up. If the program to access database files on the network and the network connections are not correct, the program can not connect to the network, making it so that the program can not access the database files. If this is the case, literally nothing. The best you can as far as the welcome screen.

This checklist is not exhaustive, but these are the most common problems you will encounter when installing and running your medical billing software.
