I have Q2010 installed for a couple of days and when launching the
program, I get the Q2010 Banner. All at once today, I started get the
Banner for Q2008! The file that is opened is Q2010 file, and the Help
About, shows Q2010. but why am I now getting the Q2008 Banner on
launching.

Need to figure this out to ensure there is not a more serious problem>

Any thoughts/work arounds/ etc are appreciated.

Thanks
Charliech

This isn't a problem other than the annoyance of the misleading splash
screen. You are probably seeing the Chase splash screen that still
says 2008. You can change this by finding the quicken "splash.bmp" in
the quicken folder on your computer and noting the location. Then
find quicken.ini...on my Vista OS, the .ini file is located in: c:
program dataintuitquickenconfig". Then edit the file and look
for the entry "splash=3D" and change it to reference the .bmp file.
Such as: "Splash=3DC:Program FilesQuickenSPLASH.BMP".

Well, this is a funny issue. I did a search of all drive for
Quicken.ini and found these:

- C:windowsquicken.ini
- windowsquicken.ini
- windowsquicken.ini

Why 3, I don't know. Clicking on them displayed the ini file in
Notepad and two of them referred to the 2009 version. Trying to
delete those two did not work - no action! So, I am not sure what to
do next.

Any other ideas?

Thanks
Charlie

Charlie - I had the same problem. I simply found and RENAMED the old file
splash.bmp (from 2008) to something like splash.xxx. Then the new
splash.png (for 2010) takes effect. After running for a day or so without
ill effects, I just deleted splash.bmp. Didn't touch any of the registry or
ini entries. YMMV.
