} ...after re-installing Quicken } with admin rights, I still had some sort of error whenever I tried } to do a backup, and it started trying to install stuff. I tracked } it down to olbackup.exe in the main Quicken installation directory. } It was trying to enable some sort of online backup service.
Bingo! I didn't have a handy executable that doesn't do anything, so just renamed olbackup.exe. Q ran perfectly, but then when I went to close/backup it popped up a "Can't find the online backup utility" box and suggested that I reinstall ... just clicking "ok' made it go away and the backup happened... SO: your plan of replacing olbackup.exe looks like it is exactly the right thing to do. [I wonder what this is about: WHY is Quicken constantly trying to mess with its online backup stuff [not to mention why it blows up into "you better reinstall" mess when running limited]. I wonder if there's some option or something I missed [or perhaps is new in Q2006] that needs to be turned off...
Anyhow, THANKS! /Bernie\
