Interesting browser quirk DP 08-01-2006

I have to connect to the MBNA website from a browser, not from within
Quicken directly. (This is for an old MBNA line of credit account. I realize
MBNA is now Bank of America, so it's possible BoA customers and/or MBNA
credit card customers have different access from what I'm describing.)

For several weeks, I've had trouble downloading statements from there. Then
it dawned on me. I've been using a beta version of the upcoming Internet
Explorer 7. So, I tried using the Opera browser, which I also have on my
computer and -- presto -- the statements downloaded without a problem. I
don't know if it's a version 7 problem or if the problem is with all
versions of IE.

Anyway, just a note of information that if you have access to another
browser, you might try it if you're having trouble downloading data files
for Quicken from websites

I just remembered: I had the same problem with the min-browser that's part
of Quicken. Is that based on Internet Explorer? If not, it's interesting
that I would have the problem with IE and with the Quicken browser, but not
with Opera.

Yes. Quicken uses IE exclusively.

IE 7 changes some IE browser settings that interfere with
Quicken.

I can't explain how using a different browser changes your
results unless that different browser changes the same settings
that IE uses.

One area I seem to remember being adversely affected by IE 7 was
the SSL settings in the Advanced Internet Options. Quicken may
require that both SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0 be checked for use. I
think that this could affect some financial institutions and not
others.
