Thx! This tip worked perfectly in newly-installed Quicken Basic 2005 on my Vista 64-bit PC.

I had a never-used Q2005 CD that I got free (after rebate) with TurboTax for 2004, never installed it until now because Q2002 was working fine on my WinME PC. I was delighted that Q2005 installed on Vista (because I’m cheap, that’s why!) but there’s obviously no reason to register it now.

THANK-YOU!!! Seems to be working excellent so far. I noticed that I needed to do exactly as you said and choose the MENU choice. Choosing the online icon did not seem to work (??). I own a legal copy of 2007, and do not want to upgrade either!

In the past I tried this (possibly suggested by Quicken help desk as one way to get rid of nag?): Edit>Preferences>Quicken Programs then clicked on Setup, and checked the [x] Automatically minimize popup windows. The latter seemed to work for a while, but somehow eventually the nag screen came back!

Anyway….Thank-you again for your solution, as it is working for me now!

Excellent! Thank you! Your tip works for Quicken 2003 as well, which I refuse to upgrade.

Thanks. My Quicken 2008 (windows xp) locks up when going through the registration screen. After I hit the Finish button, it locks up. Thanks for the tips to bypass that screen.

Awesome! Works for 2007 also. I was about to go through the registry and all. Thanks!

btw, had trouble getting here… google points to your feed instead of your actual post.
