 I installed Q2007 on Vista and the install went smoothly; however Q2007
crashes when you try to open a file. Has anyone had any luck with this? The
Intuit web site says Quicken is "untested" and may or may not work (at this
time.) Hopefully they'll get it working by January; otherwise there will be
many unhappy campers!

 Same problem here, don't try to browse for the file. Instead locate the file
using Windows Explorer, then double click it to open with Quicken. Works
like a charm here.

It is kind of stupid, ain't it??

I'm a bit dubious about there being "many unhappy campers"....

Well I'm an unhappy camper. In addition to the start-up problem discussed
in Bill's post & the solution provided by Michael, there are other problems
with Vista & Quicken -- at least Quicken 2005 Deluxe. Quicken crashes on
closing when changes have been made that require registry or initialization
file writes rather than just data file writes. Quicken is among those
programs which don't seem to take kindly to Vista's registry
virtualization -- and neither Intuit nor Microsoft seem to be doing anything
about it. The result is that Quicken 2005, at least, is barely usable under
Vista -- and of course it's especially worrisome when one's financial
records may be at risk. (Not mine -- I'm running in parallel with my XP
laptop, but that's a pain, too).

Good wishes to all.

Q2007 also crashes on XP. There many bugs in Q2007. It was pushed out the
door before its time. Intuit will not own up to any problems.
