I installed Windows 7 (64-bit) last Thursday (Oct. 22, the day it was released).
First I installed Quicken 2008, the version I owned and have been using on Windows XP. No problems with the installation. When I tried to open a Quicken data file (either by selecting File/Open from the menu or by responding to the startup wizard by saying that I wanted to open a file) the Open File dialog never appeared. Quicken hung for a while, then crashed ("Quicken has encountered a problem...").
I thought that maybe there was a compatibility problem with Quicken
2008 and Windows 7 (64-bit), so I purchased Quicken 2010. The results were the same: no problems during installation, but Quicken hangs up and crashes before displaying the "Open File" dialog.I saw on a forum that one other user had this problem back in January (with a beta version of Window 7), but there was no contact info for the user and no response to my posting in response.
Has anyone else had this problem?
