I've used Quicken for many years and currently run Quicken Deluxe
2006. For the first time I'm considering using Alerts to remind me of upcoming bills (i.e., recurring bills not automatically scheduled and paid).Help says that Billminder is "[a] list of upcoming bills to pay, online payment instructions to send, investment actions to take, and so on, appearing each time you start Windows."
Can this be true? Do you really have to start/restart your computer for Quicken to generate an alert? I run several backup applications on my computer that operate according to a predetermined schedule set by me, and none of them requires me to boot my computer to trigger activity.
The stability of Windows XP is one of its main selling points, certainly over previous versions of Windows. I've found XP to be so stable that I rarely have to boot my computer, although I do so at least once a week or so just to clear out memory, etc. Now I discover that Intuit expects me to restart my computer every day (as if I were still running Windows 98 or ME) if I want to take advantage of Billminder.
Can this be true, or am I missing something?
