QuickBooks has just released the 2007-2008 version
which is compatible with Vista - all versions.
If you are running the 2005-06 version which is
not compatible with Vista..it can be run by running
it as 'Administrator', not Win Xp Sp2 mode.
But, you will not have the 'Navigators'.
If it doesn't want to start at all then you will definitely
have to upgrade to the (latest) 2007-08 version.
Intuit (Quicken) has said that, "If you purchased a 2007
version or are a member of the 'Advantage' club you will
get a free upgrade (??)."
We have been using QuickbooksPro 2005-06 as 'Administrator'
for months now, without the navigators, and have finally
received the latest 2007-08 version and everything
now works as it should.
Check the web-site and see if you are able to (entitled to)
get the upgrade.
best of luck.
