Dave,
Thanks for giving us here at No Wonder the opportunity to answer your
question. I am Nevin of the No Wonder Mac Staff.
Welp, Rebuild the desktop, zap the pram, trash the quicken application and
reinstall it. Run Disc First Aid verify the hard drive and repair it if
necessary then if feasable upgrade to quicken 98. Set your ram cache at 1024k
and let me know how you do. I think reinstalling the software will fix your
problem. Do a search in find file for quicken and throw away all files
associated with Quicken (BUT NOT THE FILES YOU CREATED) Try these and get back
to me...
----
Best Regards,
Nevin
Don't forget to rebuild your desktop and zap your pram regularly!
