Quicken 99 won't quit.
Well, it does but then it won't restart. An examination of the task manager shows that QW.EXE is still an active process. I can end the process and Quicken 99 will start OK, but the problem remains.
Being slightly paranoid about security I ran a virus check with Norton Security 2005. None reported. So then I did a repair re-install of Windows XP sp 2. That seemed to go OK. Behold! The Quicken problem was corrected – but, alas, for only a short while. I am now contemplating a reformat of the hard drive followed by a complete re-installation of Win XP.
Can someone give me a clue as to what the problem might be, and is there is a less drastic fix?
Thanks for your reply. I decided to go ahead with the re-install of XP. It went reasonable well and so far Quicken seems to be working OK.
These days my financial needs are quite simple and Quicken 99 meets them just fine. The only drawback is that it will not work for multiple users. Since I am pretty much the only user of the machine that has not been much of a bother.
Again, thanks for taking the time to reply.
Regards,
Jas.

If you check Quicken's site, you will see that they are removing support, INCLUDING DOWNLOAD CAPABILITY, for the older versions. The newer type of download is not possible on the older versions. So you may find that if you download bank or credit card data that you bank or credit card company stops supporting the older download at the end of this year.Rick,
Thanks for the thought. I guess I should upgrade to something more current. I don't need Quicken's on line capability right now, but who knows, I might.
I appreciate your taking the time to let me know about the forthcoming lack of support.
Regards,
James

That may help. Also, getting yourself a newer version of Quicken wouldn't hurt either. I'm sure you've been backing your data up so if you end up doing either of those things, you probably won't lose any data.
I mean, come on... Quicken 99??? No wonder it's giving you trouble.
