Billminder will not run

Mar 13, 2007 10 Replies

Subject says it all. I installed Quicken 2007 Deluxe on a freshly formatted partition with an new Windows XP install.



I restored my data files and then clicked on Billminder to tell it to run when Windows opens but it would not run. Browsed to Program Files/Quicken and double clicked Billminder.exe, it doesn't run, just sits there inert. Rebooted, no help.



Removed Quicken, removed all registry entries and all Intuit entries in Documents and Settings, rebooted, reinstalled Quicken, restored data, no use, Billminder still won't start.



Oh, deleting QW.RMD doesn't help....



Any help would be much appreciated.


I've always had to drag a copy of the Billminder program icon from the Quicken folder to the Startup folder under Start | All Programs to get it to run automatically on startup.

I appreciate that but you misunderstand my post, Billminder will NOT RUN. I can drag it to the startup folder and it will not run, I can double click on it in the Quicken folder and it will not run. No way can I get it to open, run, anything.

Example, move your mouse pointer to the word "folder" in the above paragraph and double click. What happens? Nothing happens and that's exactly what happens when I double click on Billminder.exe

However, we'll see. Disaster struck again trying to use Acronis to restore my files again so I was forced to format and, once again, install XP (I'm getting REALLY good at this!) so I'll have to re- install Quicken and maybe this time it'll work?

OK, now it's working. Don't know what the problem was before but it's fine now.

PS, I don't recommend a format harddrive and re-install everything as a fix for Billminder but since I had to do it anyway....

Who the HELL with any organization whatsoever, even NEEDS Billminder? Useless waste of bytes.

Me. Billminder IS my organization. Since I retired, stopped subscribing to the newspaper and don't watch TV I usually don't know what day it is until I boot up my computer. Billminder lets me know if it's the first or fifteenth of the month and if it's any other day, I don't care.

BTW,do you often reply to two month old posts?

Gawd, you must be SENILE...having to rely on a computer to know what f****ng day it is.

Do YOU often reply to those who reply to two month old posts? Unlike YOUR UseNet source, MINE actually retains posts for more than a day or two.

It's called courtesy, I'm sure you'll have to look it up, apparently you've never heard of it?

As does mine. Possibly if you knew what you were talking about people might be more inclined to listen to you?

Gawd, you must be an OBNOXIOUS JERK... having to insult people because you're too stupid to understand them.

Does your mommy know you're using her computer, kid?

Do you know what a bozo bin is? Probably not, clueless newbies usually don't.
