The proposed solution - reinstall, seems unnecessarily extreme. Why
not just replace the damaged file(s)? Smacks of the old standard
Windows answer - just reinstall.
I don't think I need the update that bad!!

The install wasn't bad. I didn't remove the old version. I just
downloaded and executed the install program. It took a few minutes, then
it downloaded the updates. It all went pretty quick and painless. And,
it worked when it was done.

I went ahead and uninstalled/cleaned/reinstalled, just in case there was
something messed up that would interfere with future patches. It actually went
better than expected, although there were a lot of downloads that were applied
the first time I started up the program.

Ditto for me. The only down side was that when Q was restarted with the
updates, and I told it I had an existing file, it took a very long time
to find it, and no indication of what it was doing while searching. The
app looked dead until the search was over. Too bad I wasn't given a
browse prompt. I could have navigated to it in seconds.

Hi Tim.

That was Robert that you quoted. I took the shortcut. I had done a clean
reinstall just a few weeks ago to try to resolve the problem with
Quicken hanging on stock quotes. It didn't help, but I haven't had a
hang with R7 yet, so I've got my fingers crossed.

The reinstall without a cleanup went very quick, but it did have to
download all the updates. All other settings seem to have remained as
they were, and it found my file right away.

Hope work is going fine. Keep the place running.
