Qbooks Pro 2006 _ Poor Program!

I moved from Qbooks 2001 to Qbooks Pro 2006. It would not install! It said I needed to be the Administrator, which I was. This is a common problem so I went on their web site and tried to use an applet that was supposed to fix the problem. After 2 hours, I gave up.

Finally, I set it up to be compatible with Windows 2000. That worked, but now I'm wondering how I've compromised the operation by making it run in the compatibility mode with an old and never too good operating system. Can anyone tell me if I've compromised the program? Or can you tell me how Intuit could put out such a piece of shit like this program? Don't they try the programs before they sell them??

Win 2K was/is a fine op system. The pos program you installed, now that's another story.

QB 2006 installed here on 5 XP-Pro machines, and, without a doubt, hundreds of thousands of other machines without trouble.

Sorry about your shop.

My suspicion is that they did indeed try the program before they sold it. Having been a beta tester for various types of software, I suspect they had hundreds of folks try it before it was sold. Hence, the known issue you found, with the fix on the support website.

We moved to 2006 as well - probably for the same reason as you, the previous version had sunset. There were no problems with the installation. We use Windows XP. You did not mention the OS you were using.
