Hello,
I've been a long time user of Quicken (20+ years). But I there was a long gap when I did not use it. I started using Quicken again about a year ago and have had numerous errors and issues since I've started using it again.
The first issue which is relatively recent is that Quicken crashes every time I start it, unless I right click on the Quicken icon and choose run as administrator. I then get a warning message something to the effect of "Quicken is not intended to run as administrator…". This started happening after an automatic Quicken update around 2 months ago.
The second issue that I have is that my checking account register balance column regularly is incorrect. It seems to occur after I add or modify a transaction in the checking register. It will correct itself sometimes if I click on a different account and then back to my checking register. However sometimes I have to close Quicken and restart it for it to correct itself. This has been happening ever since I restarted using Quicken about a year ago.
The third reoccurring issue is that my last transaction occupies the new transaction line. Usually this happens in my checking register, but I think it has happened in other accounts too. If I click on the plus icon to enter a new transaction, it moves to the bottom line, but that line is already filled in with whatever the latest transaction is. Again, sometimes by going to another account and back it will open up a blank transaction line at the bottom. But sometimes I have to close Quicken and restart it to get a blank transaction line at the bottom of the register.
Note when I restarted using Quicken about a year ago, I reused my old Quicken data file. I don't remember the process I used to do so. I think I had to convert it somehow. I wonder if my old data file is not completely compatible and causing some of these issues?
Looking for help on how to solve these issues.
