IE7 Beta Breaks Quicken 2005 Help

No.

There was at least one person in the IE7 beta newsgroup that said they could use Quicken Help with IE7, but I don't recall them saying what the magic incantation was to accomplish that (not sure they even knew the incantation).

I have Firefox and IE7 on this machine with Firefox the default. That allows Quicken Help and I to get along ok.

I just noticed an update on the Microsoft site #KB904942 that mentions "Install this update to resolve HTTP authentication issues in Windows-based systems that do not appear until Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 is installed."

Maybe it will help, it is under Optional Software updates for WinXP.

One poster on the Intuit's Quicken Forums claimed that setting the options to enable Javascript and/or to run active content from the disk was the solution.

Nope, the update did not help. I just downloaded IE7 and the help page is blocked. I don't know why, but the new security features look at addresses more than IE6 did so I am leaning toward a problem with the way Quicken handles that function since the page is not a normal IE window.

They have utilities to check your website on the Microsoft site, so if Intuit wanted to check their sites, they could. I will keep exploring to see if I can find a setting that lets it work.

Actually, SeaMonkey IS my default browser - but for some reason Quicken still tries to go to IE, with the resulting IE error. I figured that some at Intuit had hard-coded Q2005 to use IE.

Ya know what? I tried it tonight and it's broke just like others with IE7. No surprise I just thought I had used Q help after IE7 but I guess not....

Sorry for the confusion.

Quicken has made IE a requirement for several years...

Looks like the issue has been fixed with the "refreshed" version of IE7 released yesterday.
