And, an update is available.  The program will update itself (Choose from top
menu: Features -> Online -> Online Live (Internet) -> Update Quicken 6)  or
from bottom "Online" Icon choose the "Download Quotes and Update my Quicken"
or use the "Update Prices" Button on the Portfolio Screen.  You should also
be able to get the update from the Quicken Website using your Web Browser
(but I havene't checked to see exactly how to find it there).

assistant: Worked fine here ... I would guess that the web site is just VERY busy with
people getting the update.  The server is probably just "overwhelmed" with
file requests.  I would suggest trying to get the update between 11pm and
about 5 am EST (when internet traffic is the lowest).
I would suggest that you make sure that you have several megs (maybe about 6
megs or more) of disk space empty before beginning the update.  Even though
the update file itself is only about 560k long, the update procedure took a
VERY long time and seemed to be doing a lot of file copying.

Write your reply.

assistant: I don't even remember version 4.0 any more. <G>
If you are happy with your current version and it operates ok under your
system, I see little reason to change.
However,
If you are running Windows 95 and want a 32bit version or if you have
stocks to track or if you are on the internet and want to automatically
track stocks or get the latest patches automatically or if you do
on-line banking, then you might want to get the new version.
I picked up the basic Win95 CD version for $24.00 at Office Depot.  Since
the box came with a $10 rebate coupon, the program's real cost was only
about $15.00 [including tax].  For me the upgrade was well worth the money.

assistant: When Gary enlightened All  about Qbooks DOS Print Problem
I have no idea what this has to do with Quicken, but if you have Windows
95 set to spool DOS jobs, try turning that off.  If you have it the
other way, turn it on.  I have lots of clients that have old DOS
programs that either can't print through the spooler (Win95 strips off
the control codes to the printer), or can't print direct because they
"think" the printer isn't available.  Switching DOS printing mode almost
always works.

assistant: Reinstall Quicken using the original disks or CD Rom.  Copying it does not
install the required .DLL files (and others) that are in the \windows\system
directory.  Also, it does not install the internet dialer that you obviously
need.
Just install Quicken on the new computer to the same directory where you
previously copied the Quicken.  Then, the reinstalled Quicken will simply use
the old data files that you already copied there. (Normally, you would have
installed the Quicken on the new computer, and then copied the Data Files
from your old computer.  However, copying the Data Files first is ok and will
work fine.)
