 Experience in summary form.....
1. 50% of the time Quicken crashes on exit.
2. When you update a report, Quicken does not save new version of report.
3. Updates stock prices ok and saves the price updates. The stock prices
are saved even though later on the program crashes on exit.
4. 50% crashes when finshing a data file backup.
Wonder if it is some kind of permission problem. Got one error code 6779.
Have no idea what that means.

 What Version of Vista? Ultimate, Business, Premium? 32-bit? 64-bit?

I have seen problems with legacy software on Vista Ultimate 64-bit.

Running Vista Premium on new HP dual core machine. Since my last post have
communicated with Quicken tech and he had me supervalidate the mydata file.
That validation fixed the problem of changed reports not being saved. But
still get error 6779 on exiting Quicken. Have not seen any thing strange
functionally since validation fix, but the error means something is still
amiss.

I think those error numbers are Microsoft error numbers. Try
searching the MS Support site for your error number.
