Need Help Registering Quicken 2008 Pat Whelton 04-05-2008

Hello. I've been using Quicken 2005 and upgraded online last weekend to
2008. Today was the first day I used it and all my history seemed in order.
I entered this weeks checks and all went well until I tried to run the
update (get my cancelled checks from Wells Fargo, transactions from
Fidelity, etc). When I run update I get a screen that says "Welcome to
Quicken Registration". When I get to that screen nothing happens. I've sat
there and waited and waited and nothing happens. I've read the Help screens
and it appears you cannot use the update feature until you register Quicken.
How do I register Quicken if I can't get the Registration screen to work?

Weird! They knew enough about me to tell me that Quicken 2005 wouldn't work
after April, they knew enough about me to charge my credit card but they
don't know enough about me to register the software I recently downloaded
from their site. Of course I can't find a telephone number anywhere and it
would probably be answered by someone in a suburb of Tibet. So that's
probably not a viable solution either.

Anyone been down this road before? Maybe I need to re-download the
software. Any help would be appreciated.

Regards.

That's a pretty defeatist attitude.

Phone numbers can be found in:

Registration requires that first party cookies be enabled.

You can download without registering by clicking the Online
menu, then holding down CTRL+SHIFT while clicking One Step
Update.

Note: you should only have to do this once ... as long as you
don't run another version of Quicken.
