Hi RC,

I got the release notes. Usually not very helpful, but they were there.

Hi, Andrew.

You got me! I SHOULD read the list of fixes, of course, but sometimes
I'm
in too big a hurry.

But, as I recall, the "free update" notice in OSU didn't offer an
explanation. Did I just overlook it?

Yeah, the button and notes were there. The particular item that John had
pointed out was there. Most of the time I read them and don't find any of
them particularly applicable to my use of Q in that I never 'noticed' any of
the reported problems being fixed. But I suppose I might have been unaware.
Sometimes
they do provide additional functionality. At any rate, it's interesting
sometimes simply to read what they're fixing in their own right.

RC:

R3 patch failed twice on my Q2009 H&B, Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP1.
Had to do an un-install, re-install, and get R3 during the re-install.

Bob
P.S. This is the first time that I can recall for a patch not working.

Yesterday after installing the R3 on my H&B09, my quicken did not start up
as usual, took about 2 minutes with a blank screen before it started. Since
then it has been starting as normal.

Hi, Bob.

I had similar problems a year or two ago but all recent updates have worked
smoothly. At one point, during the Vista beta, as I recall, I had to take
some extreme measures to get the update installed. John Pollard explains
sometimes how to download the patch file and install it "manually".

Fortunately, my very recent uninstall-reinstall of Q2009 on Vista was very
little hassle and took less than 10 minutes - including locating the Quicken
CD.
