Quicken 2016 to Starter

Question

Hello,

Will I be able to open a Quicken 2016 Home & Business file if I downgrade to Quicken Starter for Windows? I only have basic financial information and never used budgets or business finances in my Quicken 2016 desktop application.

Thank you,

Rami H.

I had already done that Greg. But I just got it to work by downloading the latest patch from here:

Thank you all for your help!

I would suggest downloading/install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages.

Download Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 from Official Microsoft Download Center

Let me ask you this, the reason why I'm considering a starter subscription is because I have a new computer and I'm unable to log into the new installation of my Quicken 2016 home and business software, as I get an unable to connect error when attempting to login using my valid credentials. After some research I learned that I need to install the Mondo Patch update but that is failing due to a missing msvcp120.dll and msvcr120.dll. I researched this issue and have attempted numerous times to fix the missing .dll's but the Mondo patch is still failing for the same reason.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!
