Title: XP compatible program Quicken 2000
Post by: howdydoo on March 03, 2005, 04:02:30 PM

I was looking at Quicken help
desk to see if my version of
Quicken is compatible
with Windows XP Home. I dont want to
screw up my newly installed operating
system. I only found out that
Quicken 2000 has not
been tested for W XP Home.
What does that mean?

I was told that if I loaded a program
that was not XP compatible it would [glb]crash [/glb]my hard drive.  True or False?

Thanks for your consideration and help  :-/

False..............

Load it, test it, if it runs fine leave it there, if not, uninstall it.

The version is 2000 and all they could tell me it that it has not been tested. what ever that means.

I installed it and my key board and mouse would freeze for about 5 secs every 10 or 15 secs. I un-installed and everything is running normal now.

I will just have to get a new version that's all.

Before you purchase a newer version, see if it will install under Compatibility Mode.
