I am using Quicken 2011 with my system. Is there a reason for you not using a newer version? 2004 is quite old and I found it necessary to upgrade long before Windows 8 came along...
Does anybody know if Quicken 2004 will work with W8, I have done the compatibility test and it was inconclusive i.e. it told me all the progs I need to update and all the progs that were OK no mention of Quicken, as I have been using this programe for over 14 years and have a lot of data I don't want change to another programe Inuit no longer supports Quicken in the UK (unless someone knows different) they only do commercial software like Quick Books so if anybody out there can help I would eternally grateful.
