error 7163

[Guest]

When running my Quicken program I twice had a crash of the program with
"error 7163 ".

The Quicken forums had nothing about it and their support is terrible.

Googling for "error7163" several sites said it was a Windows registry
corruption and offered programs to download to fix it. That sounded
dangerous to me so I thought to ask the gurus here what error 7163 is and
what to do about it. Is it really a registry problem?

Thise programs were scams. If you Google almost any file or error you will
get responses from those same sites.

Thanks. I thought so and that is why I did not follow their advice.

I always wonder what these scoundrels get out of trying to screw up other
people's computers! They're just sick.

Where could I find legit information about such errors?

It would help to see the *complete* error report from Event Viewer:

Start | Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Event Viewer |
Application

If you come across a recent error, double-click on it and click on the
Copy button (upper right-hand corner below the down arrow button). Then
you will be able to paste that information in your next post.

The error appeared when was using Quicken. The first thing I did next was
to look for it in the event Viewer but there was no record of it there.

Make sure you don't mess with the registry, first of all!

Without more information, this will be pretty hard to diagnose! Look in
Event Viewer again. Look in both Application *and* System for errors. If
you happen to run Quicken again and get another crash, write down the
*entire* error message.

If you post in a Quicken forum, give us much information as you possibly
can.

One idea is to configure a Clean Boot to see if a conflict with another
program is repsonsible for your crashes. See:

What version of Quicken are you using?

Its Quicken deluxe 2008 on my desktop.

I've searched the event viewer in both Application and System and there is
nothing to be found. Windows did not crash, only Quicken crashed. So there
is a chance this is not a Windows error but a quicken error.

Anyway it has not happened since, so I'll wait till the next time.
