How to copy quickenw to a cdrw or cdr

Sep 30, 2006 3 Replies

I want to copy my Q98 quickenw file from my desktop computer to my notebook. I installed Q98 onto my notebook using the original cd disk. The problem is upgrading the releases to r4. I don't think they are available. If I can copy and paste the desktop file to a cd and then transfer it to the notebook, all the releases should be there and then I can restore the data.



Without the releases I get a error message that saids destination disk is full when I try to restore the data from floppy disk. I even added a swap file to bring the total hard drive to just over 1GB of space. I seem to recall that the program would not work in anything larger than



2GB.

I checked past questions on coping Quicken files, but I don't know much on computers to get it to work. I keep getting an error message saying you can't copy quickenw. Yet past post claim it can be done as long as you uncheck read only when installing them. I can't seem to figure out how to copy the files.



I don't what to upgrade, because I love the simple features of Q98. I'm using Windows 98se on both machines.



Can anybody help me with this one?

You can't "copy" software, only data. You had it right in the first paragraph.

John,

Is it possible to just copy & past the r3 &r4 releases to the notebook?

If so, any idea on where to find them?

I don't have, and never did have, Q98; so I know nothing more about it than what was in the Intuit article.

The way I understood the article, you can only update releases for Q98 from within Quicken; but that should get you all the releases there are. Once you install Quicken on a computer, you should be able to use Quicken to update Quicken to the latest release. I think all the instructions are there in the article.
