Quicken 2007 registration

Installed Qucken 2007 under Vista Home Premium. Everything seems to run fine EXCEPT I cannot register the product. When I click "register product" I get a screen that Says "Welcome to Quicken registration", nothing else no form, nothing. I don't really care much about the actual registration, but it bugs me because a request to register always pops up when I do a One Step Update.

I contacted Quicken support (silly boy) and they wanted me to enable cookies, validate data, etc. I did not expect their advice to help, and I was right, it didn't!

Also they said "Maybe bad installation". Nope, don't believe that either. I have used Quicken for 12 years and have learned not to believe a lot of what they say.

Good help comes from my fellow users. Anyone had same problem and any suggested solutions?

Tom

I installed Quicken 2007 on 2 machines. One is XP and one is win2K. The XP machine registered without any problems. The win2K machine kept prompting me to register the product. I found the following post concerning bypassing the registration screen and it worked on my win2K machine:

Disable the popup by: Hold down CTRL+SHIFT at the same time, click on the Online menu, choose "One Step Update" (while holding down CTRL+SHIFT). You should see a dialog appears which states that "you will no longer be prompted for registration".

Laura, I did the CTL-SHIFT and clicked on step update. Got dialog box that said "QID has been cleared from the QDB file". Have no idea what that means. Registration problems remains. But thanks for the idea.

I don't recall that message. I wonder if that is Vista related. Sorry that did not help.

You have to push the CTL-SHIFT on the left side of the keyboard and not the right side.

Jack, I did the CTL-SHIFT on the left side and it worked. I almost did not do it because it sounded suspect, left side works and right side doesn't work. I imagine Quicken development/testing personnel put in the workaround to avoid having to deal with the reg prompt while testing. Thanks, Tom
