Quicken 2007 and IE7 incompatibility when using Quicken.com

After installing Quicken 2007, that being my first Quicken product changing from Money 2006, I got all my accounts in order and working fine; the only problem was downloading information into Quicken.com banking accounts, on each update I received to error flag that "Bank Sync - Server experiencing problems", all other factions in Quicken.com were functioning correctly.

Yesterday I call the Quicken help desk with this problem, after one hour of trying different steps, without any luck, the helper asked me for the Internet Explorer version, my Internet explorer is IE7, he told me that Quicken 2007 is not compatible with IE7 and that is my problem. He recommended reverting back to IE6 and do the first banking accounts download to Quicken.com, after that I can upgrade back to IE7 and all will work right after that.

I told him that I can live very happily without downloading information into Quicken.com so I remover the registration and deleted all my information from Quicken.com.

It will be nice if Quicken will fix this compatibility problem with IE7.

Jack.

Pray tell what the advantages of using quicken.com are. Why would I send my investments over the net to some server?

Jack,

The problem is not so much Intuit/Quicken, as it is MS and IE 7.

IE 7 breaks a large number of sites. For example, our company's accounting program and HR/Payroll packages are both web-based. They work fine under IE

6 and even FireFox. We have rolled out the IE70Blocker program - issued by MS itself!!!! - to prevent updates from MS that will stop our users in their tracks.

My husband attends graduate school at UT-Houston (a facility with a large and very skilled IT staff) and the school's on-line e-mail, tutorials, discussion forums, etc. also will not work on IE 7.

MS changed security, Java, .NET interaction and .ASP functionality for IE 7.

Don't blame Intuit. IE 6 works fine and so far I haven't seen a reason to upgrade.

Hi, Jack.

That sounds like the typical cop-out. :>( I've been using Quicken 2007 Basic with IE7 since last Summer. I used the IE7 version for WinXP Pro SP2 and WinXP x64, IE7 in several beta builds of Vista, and both the 32-bit and

64-bit versions of Vista Ultimate RTM, which have IE7 built in. I did have some problems installing Release R3 for Quicken, as I reported here at some length back in January, but those have been resolved.

There may be some incompatibilities with some specific functions in Quicken, but the blanket statement that "Quicken 2007 is not compatible with IE7" is patently false, as many users in this newsgroup can confirm.

I do the One Step Update every business day to get stock quotes and news, with only occasional failures (especially on very busy market days). I've done very little downloading of transactions, and I don't put my personal data onto Quicken.com, so I'll let others comment on those aspects.
