 P.S.

Double clicking on quicken.cfm works fine for me.

Quicken 2006 Primier Home & Business Release QA 5 (Note the "QA"!)
Quicken installed/used under non-Admin account with Admin privileges

Windows XP Media Center SP2
IE 7 Version 7.0.5730.11.
Norton AntiVirus 2005

As I recal (it's been a while) the "QA" update to Q06 did address IE/HTML
issues. They also changed the "R" to "QA" in the release number for other
Quicken versions at the same time, but I don't know whether or not Q04 was
among them.

If your problem involves access permission issues that the Quicken "QA"
update doesn't fix, you're on your own.

Let me know if this helps.

Jerry

I know there have been problems with various versions of Quicken
because the developers at Intuit assumed everyone would be running as
an administrator and that Quicken would be installed using the user id
that would later run it. It has been my experience that those
problems could usually be worked around by changing the security
settings on some registry keys or folders and sometimes by copying a
section of the registry from the installing user to the using user.

Are you now forced to actually run Quicken with administrator rights?
Using a product that does a lot of web connections with administrator
rights sounds like a disaster rushing (not waiting) to happen.

I'm almost positive you don't have to run Quicken as an Administrator. I
only specified how I installed and used it to give you as much detail as I
could think of so that you'd have clues as to why things worked for me and
not for you.

I probably should let someone else answer this question definitively, but I
think if you install and use Quicken under the same non-admin user, you're
OK. If you install it under the Admin user I think everyone can use it, but
other users may have problems changing some Quicken settings unless you dink
with the registry.

For starters, you did not bother to mention Vista in your original post.
Secondly, Intuit as well as Sage, have chosen to not develop patches for
their older versions of their software. In both cases 2007 is vista
compatible. Why should these companies spend $$ on a version that will be
unsupported in the next few months.

So, back to your original post. If you are using 2004 with IE7 and you wish
to get rid of the error messages, you must uninstall IE7. IE7 is a beta
program that is full of bugs. Pure and simple.

IE7 left beta stage last fall.
