Q07 Out of Memory News Starstream 09-08-2006

 If I have had my computer on for a couple of hours and used a few programs
and then go into Q07, I get the message "Quicken is out of memory and cannot
finish the current task. To release memory, close other applications. Try
restarting Windows or reboot your computer".

I have Windows XP Pro, 512mb memory and no other programs running at the
same time as Q07. I defragged my hard drive yesterday. I never had this
problem with my previous Quicken Deluxe programs (e.g. Q05). It will work
if I reboot but what a lame solution!

This is a recurring problem and it quite annoying. What's the point of
having more bells and whistles if the train won't run?

 Hi Neil. I had the same thing happen with Q07 but just once in the
weeks I've been using it and I considered it to be a fluke because I
have a pretty decent processor, XP Pro and 2 gig of ram. I did not
actually have to restart my computer or close any apps, I just closed
Quicken and reopened it and it worked fine. I didn't have that many
other apps open at the time, and Windows Task Manager didn't show a
spike in resources
so I have to wonder if something running in the background like my A/V
software didn't cause a momentary issue.

Rebooting is very inconvenient, I don't blame you for being frustrated.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Happened to me once since I have been using 07. I shut down Internet
Explorer and Outlook Express and tried again with positive results.

It occurs for me about once a week.

It's an acknowledged bug (one of several) with Q07. There is a
knowledge base article about it at Intuit. Easiest fix is to close and
restart Quicken. Hopefully this will be fixed in the first maintenance
update.
