Symptom
The system says it is already running when it is not.
Solution
Restart your computer. Then, from the Windows desktop, click My Computer, then Local Disk C, then the MedRight folder.
If this is a home care system, double-click the file RELHCS.EXE. Start the scheduling system, and immediately choose the Fix Database option on the main menu
If this is a nursing home system, double-click file RELNHS.EXE. Start the scheduling system, and immediately choose the Fix Database option on the main menu.
If the report can be previewed, but not printed, verify that your printer is set up properly in Windows.
Symptom
You are having a problem printing reports.
Solution
If the system 'gets stuck' on a patient, print a Setup Sheet for that patient. Then delete the patient, run Fix Databases, and reenter the patient.
If no data is appearing on a report, verify that your report choices actually result in data to print. If the report appearance is incorrect, enter the correct format choice on the Set
Preferences option of the setup menu.

Symptom
You are having problems after installing a program update.
Solution
You will need the backup made prior to installing the update.
If this is a home care system, copy the file HCS40.EXE from the backup to the C:/MedRight folder, replacing the existing file. Start the scheduling system, and immediately choose the Fix Database option on the main menu.
If this is a nursing home system, copy the file NHS40.EXE from the backup to the C:/MedRight folder, replacing the existing file.
Then start the scheduling system and immediately choose the Fix Databases option on the main menu.
This will restore your system to its previous version. Contact Software Inventors, Ltd., at 888-633-7444 for assistance with the update.
If the patient data is stored on this computer, you may need to restore your scheduling system database from your most recent backup.
If this is a new installation, by default the scheduling system stores home care patient data on Local Disk C in the folder MedRight, subfolder Hcsdata. Nursing home data is stored in the folder MedRight, subfolder Nhsdata.
To specify a different location, from the Windows desktop click My Computer, then Local Disk C, then the MedRight folder. Double-click the file SETHCS.EXE for a home care system or SETNHS.EXE for a nursing home system. Enter the correct path to the patient data using either DOS path or UNC conventions.
Symptom
You receive a message saying the system cannot locate a file as it is starting.
Solution
If the patient data is stored on another computer, from the Windows desktop, click My Computer. If the network drive holding the database appears, double-click it. A list of files should appear. If it does not, contact your IT support for network assistance. If files do appear, try starting the scheduling system again.
Symptom
Nothing happens when you click the desktop icon.
Solution
From the Windows desktop, click My Computer, then Local Disk C, then the MedRight folder. For a home care system, click the Hcswork folder and verify that the file H_config.dbf exists. For a nursing home systerm, click the Nhswork folder and verify that the file N_config.dbf exists.
If the file does not exist, restore it from your most recent backup or original installation CD. Then try starting the system once again. Next, from the Windows desktop, click My Computer, then Local Disk C, then the MedRight folder.
If this is a home care system, double-click the file HCS40.EXE, or the file NHS40.EXE for a nursing home system. If the scheduling system starts, delete your desktop icon and create a new one for the EXE file. If no HCS40.EXE or NHS40.EXE file can be found in the MedRight folder, restore it from your last backup or most recent installation CD.
If no MedRight folder exists, the system has been lost from this computer. Check the Recycle Bin and restore the folder, if found. If it cannot be located, restore the MedRight folder from your most recent backup. This may require reentry of recently entered information.
