How do you get quicken updates?

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.

I just installed Q H&B 2009 and it upgraded to R7, with no obvious problem except that it took forever. I attribute that to my computer, not Quicken. I haven't tried the Help facility. Just trying to reconcile myself to the grinding slow down. It looks like some functions are a little more hidden than v2008, but I haven't found anything dramaticall different or missing (after about 10 minutes of playing, which of course is not enough). Not that upgrading my dinosaur from 512MB to 1MB makes much sense economically, but I'm wondering if it would have a noticeable effect on operational speed of Q..

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.
