Who Cares
I have just installed XP on a 2nd drive dual booting with Win98( my
previously used OS)
The problem I am about to describe only happens on the XP drive and does NOT
occur with Word 97, Excel 97, Notepad, WordPad - the only other record
writing software that I have installed.on the XP drive.
I have used QuickBooks 2002 since 2002 in my business, as an update to QB99.
Using the QB disks I installed QB2002 on the XP drive. It installed without
error messages. I then opened my account from the WIN98 QB directory. Then
I entered the next check that I had to enter into the check register and all
appeared to be fine. The mouse hourglass came on as normal. But, then it
stayed and stayed and stayed. I finally had to CAD to stop. I was neatly
told about the program not responding and allowed to close it in an orderly
fashion. When I opened QB again the item was there all in good shape.
So the only problem was that the system control was not released after the
write. Explorer didn't revealed an inordinate size file - so a runaway write
did not seem to be the condition - but I cannot be sure of that, as I didn't
leave it in that locked state for but a minute, or so
After $175.00 worth of Tech Support(!?!?) with QB, I was told by them that
it was not QB - it must be XP or the computer. That in the face of all of
the other successful Writes in the other programs?
I also tried copying the Win98 data files to the XP QB directory. When I
open that way I had exactly the same results.
Has anyone an idea?
