Write your reply.

assistant: I've got a question for you out there. It relates more to TurboTax than
Quicken, though, so I don't know if it'll make it past the moderator.
Last year I used Quicken for the second year, and found it a lot slower
and more troublesome than the previous year's version. Also I had
trouble getting it to run, due to some compatability problems with my
video driver (as it turned out). I struggled for weeks using E-mail,
phone, fax and snail mail to get any help from the people at TurboTax.
Finally I think someone on my local BBS read about my woes and took pity
on me and suggested some things for me to try, which worked. Although I
went ahead and bought TurboTax again this year, and so far haven't had
any problems with it, does this story sound familiar to all of you? Has
Intuit improved its technical support?

assistant: Don't know if this will answer your question, but take it for
what it's worth. I installed Quicken 5 for windows a short time
ago and immediately started getting all kinds of error messages.
As I learned later, the culprit was my hard disk being compressed.
Altho chkdsk showed 88meg free it wasn't really usable. I stayed
on hold about ten minutes when I called tech support. They
suggested I reinstall windows. I deleted some deadwood from the
hard disk and everything works fine now.
Take care,

2) Unable to Edit or Create Quicken Categories
If you use Quicken 5 for Windows (or Quicken Deluxe 5 for Windows) AND
the final version of QuickTax for Windows (or QuickTax Deluxe for
Windows), you may experience an error while creating or editing
Categories while in Quicken. This error will cause Quicken to terminate.
 If you were entering a transaction at that time, the data for that
transaction may be lost.  No other data will be affected.
Again, please note that this error can only occur if you have Quicken
version 5 AND QuickTax installed on your computer. Earlier versions of
Quicken are not affected and the problem does not occur if you are using
QuickTax for Macintosh or ImpotRapide.  Furthermore, this error does not
in any way affect the tax calculations in QuickTax.
There is a very simple work-around to this problem which you may wish to
implement yourself.  Using any text editor (e.g. Windows 3.1 Notepad or
your DOS Editor) locate your Quicken 5 directory (usually C:\QUICKENW)
and open the file named "TAX.SCD".   In this file you will find a line
near the bottom of the file which appears as follows:
166  SYN Medical Expenses
Simply delete the word "Expenses" so that the line reads:
166  SYN Medical
If you aren't comfortable editing this file or do not have a suitable
text editor, we will shortly be making available an update to your
program which can be downloaded from this web site.

microsoft mouse (MsInput 2.0) software.  Do a control, alt, delete and
see if you have point32.exe opened and if so close it and see if your
problem goes away.  I did this on all my open programs until I found
that by closing this one, the problem went away.  Rather than deleting
or uninstalling it I disabled it from loading in the Registry Editor and
it's still there in case I want to bring up the MsInput task bar.

Write your reply.

assistant: Naturally if you have funds in your checking account at the bank that are
not reflected in Quicken then your account will not balance. I'm not sure
what you mean when you say the CASH account is for Uncle Sam. If what you
mean is you are trying to hide money from the IRS that naturally I can't
help you there. If what you mean is you are saving money to pay you taxes
then I suggest you look into savings goals. This is a feature in the newest
Windows ver of Quicken ( I forget which ver you have) that will allow you
to "put aside" money for a specific purpose. You can set up Quicken so that
the money "put aside" does not show in you register balance but it is still
in the same account so when you reconcile it will come out correctly.

and saw
the lines jump from 164 to 169 i assumed i didn't have a line 166.
Anyway when you sent me your post i decided to look again and finally
