Warning.
I reinstalled my 2001 and now it keeps pestering me to register. But Quicken won't recognize registering such an old product. So the pestering will continue ad nausea.
I just experienced the "Quicken Executable has encountered a problem and needs to close" error while making a backup using Quicken Basic
2001. Well both the hd version and backup version got trashed and previous backup was hundreds of transactions old after spending 2 days of year end catchup. After not finding much useful info on the web I fell for the "new version will fix it line". Wrong. 2008 could not read the 2001 corrupted file. It tried but bombed, vanished, just quit without error. Repeatedly. So 2008 is going back for a refund.
I upgraded from Quicken2 to 2001 in 2001 because of the y2k problems with scheduled transactions in Q2.
Warning to all about backups. Make backups daily. Use mulitple backup media and cycle through them. So much for my great opinion of Quicken being rock solid.
Thanks for 3 wasted days Quicken.
