    It could also be the length of your data file's name.  Filenames longer than 8 characters, 12345678.QDF, can cause this.
    With Quicken closed, rename the data file using Windows Explorer and then double-click on the renamed file, thus starting Quicken with that file and restting Q's memory of recent file.
    Then close and restart Q normally, it should open the renamed data file.
