Quicken Launcherr Stops Working

I have Quicken Deluxe installed on Windows Vista Ultimate and all of
a sudden I am unable to open Quicken and get an error message that
"Quicken Launcher has stopped working". I spent a long time with chat
help, installed qclean.exe and msizap.exe and ran quicken clean. I
re-installed quicken and it opened but when I exited the program I got
the "Quicken Launcher has stopped working" message again and was
unable to reopen Quicken after that. After that I uninstalled Quicken
and then went through the registry and pruned every reference to
Quicken found. I then re-booted and reinstalled Quicken and I then
immediately got the previous error message when trying to open.
I think there may be a glitch in Windows Vista but do not know where.
All is not lost since I am running Quicken under Windows 7 dual boot
and using the same data files as in Vista and everything is fine.
Anyone have any thoughts on this problem would be appreciated. TIA

What's the very last thing you did in Vista before the error occurred?
It needn't have anything to do with Quicken but that's probably the
cause of the problem. Anything you installed, added, ran?

Try a system restore to a time before the problem occurred and see if
that helps.

I trued a number of things and finally gave up. I am convinced that
it was a Vista problem so I did a clean reinstall of Vista and
reinstalled Quicken, updated and it is running really well now. I
went ahead and reinstalled some of my other apps such as Wordperfect
and Office 2007 and now have problems running them in Vista. I am
ready for Win7 since I have been running it in dual boot for several
months with no problems with any apps. Wish I could have isolated the
cause of Quicken not running but ran out of patience.

Incidentaslly my system restore in Vista has only been making about 2
days prior for restore so it is of little value.

Just FYI, I had the same problem running Quicken 2009 under Windows 7
RC.

I am sorry to hear that you are having the same problem on Win7.
Todate I have not had a problem with Windows 7 and Quicken but its
early. All of this is a good reason to keep Windows XP functioning on
some computer.
