Question on Quicken sounds for Windows gurus

Hi, John.

While I haven't actually tried it, I think it should work - with one caveat.

Just be sure that this user's Quicken has Sounds working.

In my experience, usually even the user who installed Quicken does not have Sounds. But I haven't really explored this in depth.

You'd think that Intuit would have fixed this problem by now. It first showed up in Windows 2000, 10 years ago, and has been an unneeded hassle in each Quicken version since then.

Careful there R.C. Presenting Intuit in a bad light with such a vicious pack of facts like that will only unleash the hell and fury of Chief Intuit Apologist & Unpaid Corporate Shill, JPollard

You're in b-i-g trouble now...

Hi, hexHead.

Oh, I th>

Unfortunately, along with "we're the best" goes an attitude of "we don't have to try harder."

And they don't.

Thanks, R. C.

I was an early Quicken user but I got a free CD of MS Money 2004 so I switched to MS Money.

Obviously I'm still interested in Quicken to be reading this newsgroup. I have a current Quicken CD which will provide 30 days free access, but I've so far not got around to installing it. MS Money 2004 still works.

If MS Money quits I'll switch to Quicken without being a new comer. :-)

How "hard they try" is usually driven by budget and calendar. Software development and support is not cheap. It takes more staff to do more things.

Would you be willing to pay more for Quicken 2011? I wouldn't. While it could be better (as could pretty much everything else that I buy), it works well, and it is affordable.

Just an opinion.

I'm quoting myself, from a semi-recent thread:

"If Intuit would just leave Quicken alone (i.e. no more 'improvements'), fix the bugs and offer connection services as a subscription-based model, I'd think they (and we!) would do just fine."

Add some type of reasonable support, for those who need it, and you've got yourself a winner.

Just another opinion.
