Problem - Quicken versions 2005/2006 (maybe prior version too.) When
starting up the registration process displays a white screen and will not
allow you to complete the process.

Here is what I have uncovered to fix this issue. I read thru group after
group with no luck on fixing the blank registration issue when loading up
Quicken. I am pretty confident that the issue lies in an IE setting
however I went thru and spent two hours trying change all the settings to
allow the registration to complete and nothing worked. I allowed cookies,
set all the levels to the lowest security settings, changed all the radio
buttons to allow all without prompting, edited the .ini files, ran a packet
sniffer to see if a web connection was being refused, etc. etc. etc.

I did uncover something that will work...

There are two hot key combonations that when pressed will affect
registration.

#1 - CTRL-SHIFT-ALT and then left click on Online > One Step Update (This
resets the registration key)
#2 - CTRL-SHIFT and then click on Online > One Step Update (This will allow
bypassing the registration process and thus remove the annoying nag
EVERYTIME you load Quicken.

Good luck and I hope this saves everyone some time.
