All,

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, 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.

Thanks
