How do you get quicken updates?

I'm running Q2009D on XP and I've been following the talk about the release of R7. So I checked and I am, indeed, only running R6. BUT: I can't figure out how to get the R7 update. I thought there'd be a "check for program updates" on one of the menus, but not. The help file says to pick one-step-update, but the only thing on that is a section at the top for quotes and such [unchecked], all my actual accounts in the middle [all checked] and "quicken services" at the bottom [unchecked].

Is there some way I'm missing to actually look for a program update [or is there some other reason why Q isn't offering me the new update?]

If you do a One Step Update and let it complete, a little icon will show up on the bottom of the status window when there is an update available. Or you can manually download the patch here:

Do not rush to get the R7 release; there are problems with it.

I believe those problems will be solved reasonably soon, based on Intuit's statments; but if you can avoid the update for the moment, I would.

What are the problems? I haven't experienced any yet.

If you had no problem applying the patch, you avoided problem number one.

If you have no problem accessing Quicken Help, you avoided problem number two.

I can't say whether there are any other problems, as I have not downloaded the patch, and many users have gotten stuck on problem #1.

Right - I don't have problem number 1.

Since I almost never use quicken Help, I didn't know I had problem number two. But I just tried help and found that I *do* have that problem.

But no big deal to me. I don't use or need Help.

Thanks.
