I realy help fixing this error, here is my sad story.
Win XP Pro version 2002 with service pack 2
AMD Athlon 64 3400+ Processor 2.41 GHz.
1GB of RAM
Home built PC
I am getting this error message now when I try to remove or reinstall Quicken.
“Error 1324. The path Quicken 2006 contains an invalid character.â€
Thought I was being security wise by having installed Quicken 2006 onto a
USB memory stick and running it as a removable drive. This worked fine until
I installed a new printer that had a USB port on it. This changed the drive
letter on the USB port I used for the Mem stick from F: to H:. Quicken
wouldn’t work until I changed the Quicken Desktop Icons path to the new Drive
letter. Then I found I couldn’t’ download new transactions from our online
bank because it didn’t recognize the path or something (don’t quite recall)
it was related to the fact the drive letter had changed. Since I couldn’t
figure out to have the bank recognize the new drive letter for downloads, I
decided to remove and reinstall Quicken onto the PC’s regular hard drive
“C:â€, and use the security features in the software instead of having this
USB drive problem happen again with future upgrades. When I went to the
Control Panels uninstall feature and tried to remove Quicken, it gave me this
Error 1324 message and wouldn’t let me uninstall. I tried to Do an Install
from the original Quicken CD and got the same “Error 1324 The path Quicken
2006 contains an invalid character†message.
So now I unwisely decided to try to manually delete all Quicken folders and
files that were on the C: drive to see if I could remove enough to get rid of
the error message. No Dice.
I downloaded ErrorKiller from a website and tried that out to see if it
would fix the error. No Dice.
The C: drive has been through a Scan Disc and Defrag since and I am in way
over my head with this problem and don’t want to make it worse than I already
have. I know there must be more references to it in the Registry but I don’t
know how to safely remove them.
Please help, the wife gets a bit distraught when she cant have her Quicken
to work with.
