Problem - Quicken versions 2005/2006 (maybe prior version too.) When starting up the registration process displays a white screen and will not allow you to complete the process.
Here is what I have uncovered to fix this issue. I read thru group after group with no luck on fixing the blank registration issue when loading up Quicken. I am pretty confident that the issue lies in an IE setting however I went thru and spent two hours trying change all the settings to allow the registration to complete and nothing worked. I allowed cookies, set all the levels to the lowest security settings, changed all the radio buttons to allow all without prompting, edited the .ini files, ran a packet sniffer to see if a web connection was being refused, etc. etc. etc.
I did uncover something that will work...
There are two hot key combonations that when pressed will affect registration.
#1 - CTRL-SHIFT-ALT and then left click on Online > One Step Update (This resets the registration key) #2 - CTRL-SHIFT and then click on Online > One Step Update (This will allow bypassing the registration process and thus remove the annoying nag EVERYTIME you load Quicken.
Good luck and I hope this saves everyone some time.
