Summary: Retro to 2003
Date: 2008-11-25 - 
Comment: Bought and installed 2003 as the last fully functional version of Quicken. I had upgraded to 2005 when Intuit stopped supporting 2003, bad mistake. 2005 stopped allowing .qif imports and exports of investment accounts. When Intuit stopped supporting 2005 (cutting off account and price history updates) I moved to MS Money (did not like Money it was slow and bloated), then exported account data via MS Money .qif export and imported to Quicken 2003. I imported price history and weekly price updates from my Google>portfolio>download to spreadsheet function. Although I have to go out to each of my financial institutions and manually download transactions, I no longer am dependent on Intuits built-in sunset policy.
Summary: D**ned if you do...

Comment: Although all the previous reviews I've read about Quicken 2003 have been right on the money about this version of the program, no one has offered any solutions! After lots of research, I was able to get q03 to print from windows xp - open the printers folder, highlight your printer, right click and click on properties, click on the "advanced" tab on the top, click on "print processor", choose "winprint" and "raw" and click ok until everything is closed. Doing this enabled me to finally print reports and statements. Hope it works for you.

Summary: Buggy Quicken 2003
Date: 2003-08-18 -
Comment: I've used various versions of Quicken for well over ten years, upgrading just about every year. Quicken 2003 is a huge dissapointment. I download transactions from my financial institutions and then reconcile the online balances. For some inexplicable reason I periodically get the error message "The total of the previously cleared items in your register no longer matches with the ending balance of your prior statements." I very much suspect that Quicken 2003 has a bug in its reconciliation module and that this problem is not due to operator stupidity, as I never had this problem with past versions of the software. Technical support for the product is miserable.

Summary: Got XP? Forget Quicken 2003!
Date: 2003-05-31 -
Comment: If you're running Windows XP, Quicken 2003 isn't for you. Yes, the interface has grown clunky -- the mark of software that's piled on so many bells and whistles that it's become morbidly obese. But what good is any financial software if you can't print reports? With XP, you cannot. Quicken 2003 simply crashes and closes when you hit the print command."Windows XP is bad at processing 16-bit printing," a Quicken service rep told me today. His advice? Remove the latest and greatest HP printer drivers and install drivers for Windows 98. Of course, full-featured printing will suffer with most every other application on my computer, and XP poses serious obstacles to such a ploy since Win98 drivers are not certified for XP, but Intuit offers no other solution. When I pointed out that I run a lot programs and that only Quicken won't print in XP, my exasperated tech rep sighed, "I know, I hear that a lot." Publicly, Intuit is clearly in denial. There's not a clue about XP printing problems to be found on Quicken's support site. It's sad, really. Intuit once brought personal and business accounting into its full glory on the PC platform, but they've stumbled and fallen flat today. ...Unless you're one of the few still running Windows 98, forget this retro dinosaur.

Summary: Trust me: Don't buy it! Don't install it! Don?t use it!
Date: 2003-05-22 -
Comment: I have been with Quicken since 3.0. I have loved the software and have been a strong advocate for it. Now that I have upgraded to Quicken Premier 2003, my attitude has complete changed. I have never seen such terribly written software before. This is purely pitiful. I have recently upgraded from Quicken 2000 Deluxe and I have had nothing but trouble. First of all, of course, it couldn't convert my old data file. I had a ton of errors to sort through. Secondly, the interface constantly locks up on me (I am using XP). Thirdly, the interface is so obscure, you will find yourself running in circles just trying to accomplish what used to take minutes. The help is pitiful. The support is even worse. The interface is absolutely retched, extremely slow (I am running at 1.3 GHz) and riddled with bugs. Intuit is no longer interested in making good software. I hate to sound so negative. I am not one who complains so much, but this software is more than a disappointment, it has been a complete waste of my time. Trust me, don't buy it, don't install it, and don't use it. You will be very sorry. Even if you are given it for fee.
