I'm using Quicken 98 in Win4Lin + Win 98 with no problems. I did have
a problem similar to yours getting quotes with Quicken 6 and native Win
98 (it worked fine with Win95). I never did figure out the cause.
That was about the time I installed VMware and I didn't have the
problem there (or with Win4Lin). This got me to wipe out my native
Windows partition and I haven't gone back.
