assistant: When Brian enlightened Steve Shattuck about Quicken 6 Online Updates
Click on help in Quicken, hold down the shift key while selecting "About
Quicken."  It reports Quicken R4, but identifies the updated files as
4.1.  This is more accurate than just looking at the release number.
This update came via the Internet sometime in February I believe.

assistant: se
Do what I did: switch banks.  The bank we'd been with for about 6 years
started offering online banking, so back in September we signed up.  We never
did get their software, even though they told us they'd tried to ship it
several times.  In the meantime, we'd upgraded to Quicken 6.  We finally
switched to First Union in the middle of January, and it's been working
flawlessly.  It took me about 15 seconds to reconcile my last statement.
Plus, First Union lets you check your account information via a secure server
on the web.  The data you download into Quicken from the Quicken Financial
Network on your account is sometimes 24 hours later than that posted on the
web (eg, we made a cash deposit today and within a matter of minutes it was
on the First Union web site; it won't be in our downloaded transactions until
tomorrow).

Write your reply.

assistant: When Anne enlightened All  about Error msgs
General Protection Faults and "Out of memory" messages in Windows 3.x
are frequently caused by running out of system resources.  Windows has
two FIXED 64k memory heaps (GDI/USR), and the FIXED amount of
CONVENTIONAL memory (area below 640k) which are usually the cause.
Since none of these are expandable, you need to OPTIMIZE the use of
these resources to address this problem.  This involves:
     1) Avoid a CLUTTERED desktop.  Minimize the number of ICONS, open
        groups and cute utilities like CLOCKS/resource monitors, etc.
     2) Discontinue using screen savers/wallpaper that use LARGE photos
        or complex graphics.
     3) Use a 256-color or less video driver, at a reasonable reso-
        lution (appropriate to your use).  MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE
        LATEST VERSION OF VIDEO DRIVER for your video card!!!!
     4) Use MEMMAKER or a third-party memory manager to optimize avail-
        able CONVENTIONAL memory.  Aim for at least 600k+ before load-
        ing Windows.
     5) Avoid having unnecessary programs (such as Solitaire) open when
        running productive work.
     6) Use a program like MOREMEM4 or 1MBFort to reserve Windows use
        of conventional memory for initializing new programs.
     7) Add MaxBPS=768 to the [386enh] section of SYSTEM.INI.
