Quicken 2010 View Menu

We are both using Quicken 2010 Home and Business R2

Have you compared your Edit-Preferences-Quicken Preferences-Startup & Navigation settings?

Thank you for your suggestions. I have make sure our start up screen is the same and the navigation checks are the same. I still can see the account bar, the tool bar, and tabs. He can not.

Our resoultion is similar.....mine as high as it will go....his a little less.

However, could you please elaborate on the "Display Monitor Format" that you mention above? What does the 16x9 or 4x3 mean? Where can I read more about this. I really think you may be on to something here. I cannot for the life of me....believe all our settings are so similar, but he can not see any of the bars or tabs. Any further help will be appreicaited. Thank You

16x9 is much more rectangular than 4x3. They are aspect ratios. A 4x3 screen is like a standard size tv or monitor and a 16x9 is comparable to a movie screen - much wider than tall.

This does not seem possible to me [and I have Q2010 RPM R2].

I can't imagine how you two can ever get in sync, if you start so totally out of sync. I have yet to read of a Q2010 user (other than you) whose "View" menu did not offer the choices of "Classic menus" and "Standard menus". If you do not see those options, I would suspect a faulty installation.

I also can find no evidence that there is any inherant Q2010 restriction on displaying (what I believe you to mean is) the "Account Bar". The options for the Account Bar are available in the View menu drop down, and in Edit > Preferences > Quicken Program > Navigation.

One way to eliminate those items from view is to start Quicken in "Full Screen Mode"; see

Edit > Preferences > Quicken Program > Startup

You can tell if you are in Full Screen Mode, if pressing F11 restores your toolbar, etc. ... and if pressing F11 again, causes the toolbar to disappear.

I think this is a bit of a backward way to explain your original post.

If you choose to open Q2010 to the Transactions Tab (register) of a specific account (which you can only do when the "Classic menus" are chosen), you can not then select different menus in the View menu ... but if you know that, posting that you could not see the menu choices in the View menu ("These are not even choices for me") was misleading.

I'm a Johnny come lately to this discussion, but there are many ways to let someone else take remotely control of you computer. Logmeincom is one of these. All it requires is a secure way to communicate passwords etc between people after setting up the (free) software on both machines.

Just be sure to remove the software and/or the username/password combo afterwards to make sure this does not become a way to let strangers in.

Security is always a concern. I am NOT an expert, so I try to do my own security measures. Principally, practice safe hex. Keep your usernames and passwords diverse and secure. Apart from that - I hope no one steals my computer.

This is what Logmein says:

You're right, but it was not intentional; as it turns out, I had seen the behavior once but forgot about it when I replied to your first post. When I confirmed your reply for myself in Q2010, was when I recalled seeing it before.

Sorry for the incorrect initial response.
