quicken basic 2007

Nov 18, 2006 5 Replies

I have a store bought quicken 2007 basic which I have been using for several months. My needs are simple, no online stuff, just keep track of my bank accounts and credit cards.



Well, anyway, I am running it in windows xp and for some reason it no longer lets me enter new transactions. Is this some kind of ploy to get you to register or something?



Have any of you had this problem?



By the way, I did download the update thinking this my solve it, but nope, same thing.



Thanks



Don't know if this will help you but...

I once ran into this problem when working on a file on a USB drive - turns out I had run out room on the disk. (It would have been nice if there was some kind of message advising of the problem). Freeing up space on the disk solved problem, as did copying the file to my hard drive.

I have 89 megabytes free. Is this too little?

I would say this is not your problem, then (my thumb drive was FULL). Sorry I can't help. vcard

Hi, koolj96825.

I'm running Quicken 2007 Basic, too, which I bought at Wal*Mart. I've been using it with both WinXP Pro and Windows Vista (dual-booting). I've been using Quicken for over 15 years and my Quicken files total over 30 MB. There is about 40 GB of space left on the disk volume that holds Quicken.

What kind of response do you get when you try to enter a new transaction? An error message? What does it say - verbatim? Your second post says you have 89 MB free; that's not a lot in today's world, but it should be plenty to hold many more Quicken transactions, which usually take less than 1 KB each.

I doubt it is a trick "to get you to register or something". If you give us more details we might be able to help you solve your problem.

It may very well be. 89 MB is not a lot of free space for a hard drive. You may be running into a Windows space problem where Windows does not have enough space to do its memory management, etc.

Free up some space and see what happens.

Delete temporary files, unwanted programs, etc.
