Installing software.

Question

Vista operating system, Trying to uninstall 'Quicken 2007' after finding that software was not comparable with Vasta. Upon clicking onto Quicken and then clicking  uninstall, a window pops up that read removing then in  three seconds a second window pops up with yellow bar across top that reads 'user account control' followed by ' Unidentified Publisher' followed by two choices, cancel or allow. I have selected both choices and get the same results ,window reappears with list of programs installed , as if I, am back to step one. Any suggestions would be appreciated. buddee

Quicken 2007?

Try Revo Uninstaller. It seems to do a better job than the Vista uninstaller.

Try the Quicken site to see if they have a special uninstaller.

You might try to install doing two things:
In Compatibility Tab, set for XP compatibility and set "Run as Administrator" at the bottom of the Compatibility Tab.

This many times works for older products.

I'm using Quicken 2007 on my Vista system with no problems at all. Perhaps you have other problems.
