Q07 Out of Memory

If I have had my computer on for a couple of hours and used a few programs and then go into Q07, I get the message "Quicken is out of memory and cannot finish the current task. To release memory, close other applications. Try restarting Windows or reboot your computer".

I have Windows XP Pro, 512mb memory and no other programs running at the same time as Q07. I defragged my hard drive yesterday. I never had this problem with my previous Quicken Deluxe programs (e.g. Q05). It will work if I reboot but what a lame solution!

This is a recurring problem and it quite annoying. What's the point of having more bells and whistles if the train won't run?

Hi Neil. I had the same thing happen with Q07 but just once in the weeks I've been using it and I considered it to be a fluke because I have a pretty decent processor, XP Pro and 2 gig of ram. I did not actually have to restart my computer or close any apps, I just closed Quicken and reopened it and it worked fine. I didn't have that many other apps open at the time, and Windows Task Manager didn't show a spike in resources so I have to wonder if something running in the background like my A/V software didn't cause a momentary issue.

Rebooting is very inconvenient, I don't blame you for being frustrated.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Happened to me once since I have been using 07. I shut down Internet Explorer and Outlook Express and tried again with positive results.

It's an acknowledged bug (one of several) with Q07. There is a knowledge base article about it at Intuit. Easiest fix is to close and restart Quicken. Hopefully this will be fixed in the first maintenance update.

Thanks. This means there's a memory hole, it keeps using up rather than freeing unused memory. Since XP can memory clean nicely just closing Quicken should allow the mem manager of XP to free up the used blocks.
