As admin. you needed to first _uninstall_ Quicken. You then needed to set your limited account temporarily to be an admin. account and to then bring up Quicken, to let it try the online update thing, then exit Quicken and set your account back to limited. Alternatively, after uninstalling as admin. you can re-install as admin, run Quicken, do the online update, exit Quicken, then set your limited account to admin., then switch to your user account, then run Quicken, then "repair install", then run Quicken, let it update, exit, and switch your user account back to limited. > > If you want to try 'test.exe' as one of the posters suggested, you > > can pick it up here: http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ That package comes as a Zip file. Download it, extract test.exe (it's only 17k) and save it into C:\windows\system32 or in Quicken's Program Files directory as olbackup.exe and give it a shot. I don't think you'll need any of the dll's, but if you do, you'll find that out soon enough. -- ---------------------------------------- WIN-HOME Archives: http://PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM/archives/WIN-HOME.html Contact the List Owner about anything: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html
