Reinstalled Quicken have problems

[Guest]

I am sure this has been answered before but I can't find it with a
search. I had to reinstall win xp and Quicken 2005 deluxe, now when I
try to use Quicken I am presented with a registration screen, I have
not filled in this form yet pending advice from this group. I have
always clicked the "register later" button but now I can't use the
update feature without this screen popping up. What to do? Thanks in
advance.

PS I have registered this copy when I first installed it.

So just register it again.

Register again, it only takes a minute. If you have privacy issues, enter
bogus info. There's no check that I'm aware of, it just sets the "Yup, the
owner registered" flag.....

It's still an annoyance. If they accept bogus info they should have a "no,
not at this time thanks" button, and not make us go through a few screens
just to allow us to use web connect.

I've recently switched from using Quicken under Windows XP under VMware on
Linux, to run Quicken on CrossOver Office on Linux, and installed and
reinstalled things a few times until I had things working properly. I had
to go through that screen a few times just to get Quicken going, and it was
yet another annoying step.

It probably took me longer to compose this message than enter information
on those screens, but that's human nature, just like does one really need
to speed through traffic, get annoyed at the slow driver ahead of us on our
way back home, just that I can sit down in a stupor in front of the TV or
computer screen later on? Probably not, but we do.

You really need mellow out a bit.... I can't believe the things people get
worked up over...... It's not really that big a deal......

You're jumping to conclusions, I'm not worked up over any of this. My
posts may give you that impression, and maybe there's nothing I can do to
convince you otherwise, but I also think most of those are just little
problems, minor annoyances, or whatever you want to call them, and not a
big deal, but they do exist and it's fun to talk about them.

At the moment, the only thing that bugs me with my Quicken 2004, and I've
written about it here, is that if one runs with focus-follows-mouse
enabled, via X-mouse on TweakUi on Windows, and/or similar setting under
X11 (CrossOver), which I fully understand is a personal choice but that's
the way I like my gui to behave, and find almost impossible to work with
the click-to-focus alternative, most Quicken pop-up windows close
automatically, i.e. minimize to Quicken's bottom taskbar, when the mouse
leaves the window.
