Cannot add an account & get a random "Could not complete task" msg

Hsmith421

Totally updated version. Have signed in and out a couple times. Have restarted the computer. Quicken won't respond when I have tried to add an account. Randomly an error message box pops up saying: "Quicken could not complete your request. Please try again later." After I backed everything up again and signed out. That message popped up again. Didn't even know it could do that! Any ideas of why on either of these or remedies?
