I have three accounts w ith Bank America: Checking, Savings, Visa. The Checking and Savings accounts are set up for OSU, but the Visa Car d is not.
In the Account List, when I click "Activate Downloads" for the Visa Card, it asks for my User ID an d Password. When I supply them, it shows me all three ac counts. But I can't do anything there. The only thing I can click is "Next," and if I click next it does nothing but take me back to the Account List.
Can someone tel l me what's wrong and what I can do to fix it?

Only guessing. And assuming your checking, savings, and credit card accounts all have the same user-id/password to logon to BofA.
Are your Checking and Savings accounts using "Direct Connect" for their "Connection Method"? [See the Online Services tab of the Edit Account Details dialog for the accounts.]
I think that if you do not tell Quicken which Connection Method to use, Quicken will pick Express Web Connect (when available - which it is with BofA). But Quicken doesn't like to have accounts with the same user-id/password downloading with different Connection Methods.
If that is the underlying problem, you should be able to correct it by specifying the Connection Method during the activation process. And in order to be able to specify the Connection Method, you have to use a different approach to Activate the account.
Initiate the "Add Account" process (from the Account List, or from the button at the foot of the Account Bar). After you click on the account type, click on the blue "Advanced Setup" link in the lower left of the resulting dialog.
In the resulting "Add Credit Card Account" dialog, start keying the name of the financial institution in the "Enter the name of your financial institution" box. When Quicken displays the correct complete name below that box, select the correct name. Click "Next".
The resulting dialog should offer you the option of selecting the "Connection Method". Once you have chosen the correct Connection Method, click "Next".
In the resulting dialog, enter your user-id and password (and Save this password, if necessary), then click "Connect".
Quicken should present all the accounts you have at that financial institution that use the user-id/password you provided. Accounts that are NOT already activated should have a dropdown that allows you to select "Add", "Link", or "Ignore". For existing Quicken accounts, choose "Link" (open the dropdown and put your cursor on "Link") and pick the Quicken account to link to.
