Quicken 2006 XG Security Detail View

I recently moved Quicken 2006 XG to a new Toshiba Satellite A200-AH6 notebook computer running Windows Vista Home Premium Edition from an older Toshiba laptop running XP. Now, when I select a security in Security Detail view so that I can make manual price updates, see performance graphs, etc., there is a delay of at least 20 seconds moving from one security to the next. If I re-boot in Safe Mode, re- start Quicken and select a security to edit in detail view, the problem disappears.

Quicken support claims that this is a Windows problem and has no solutions to offer. I tried upgrading to Quicken 2008 but the same behaviour occurs.

Does anyone know of a fix for this?

Hi, Have not had this particular problem, but ...

Sounds to me like you have some type of conflict with another 'Startup' item. To find out which you will need to do some experimentation.

First, try to reboot without any of the programs listed in your Start -

If this does not fix the problem, try Start ->Run ->msconfig.exe-

time you deselect one, reboot and try Quicken. When you find the problem, you will either need to get an update or run without it.

This takes some time, but is likely the cause of your problem.

Programs -> StartUp group

deselect itmes that are not requred by the system. Each

Thanks for the suggestions Peter. Your suggestion makes sense but I tried it all with no success. I de-selected all start-up items and all services and re-booted. The same delay occurs in Security Detail View. The only time that this function works normally (about 1 second between security changes) is in safe mode. I don't know what gets loaded between safe mode and regular start-up without an start-up items and or services, that's messing with Quicken but it must be something in Vista?

Going to Vista was not my choice - I was happy with XP but had to upgrade due to a hardware crash on my old computer. Again, thanks for your input - any other ideas always welcome.

Regards,

John

I can almost guarantee you that you had NO choice.

More than likely, you did not do enough research to find out what choices you had.

Well, I certainly didn't mean to say that ... I meant to say the opposite.

I can almost guarantee you that you did have a choice.

Useless comments John - not relevant to the problem so why not keep opinions to yourself. I thought these forums were about solving problems - not criticizing the actions of others whose circumstances you know nothing about.

Useless is your opinion; my opinion differs, it's an opinion I am entitled to, and one I intend to, voice.

There have been a number of people who have claimed to have no choice but to get Vista; I have reason to think their beliefs are incorrect. My reading tells me that manufacturers are offering XP to users that want it; and if so, it's a disservice to suggest that there is no operating system option.
