Thanks very much for the reply, but since posting the question, I actually
found the fix and Quicken 2007 is working quite well now on Windows Vista.
I found on the Quicken web site the fix at the following link:
https://quicken.custhelp.com/cgi-bin...i=&p_topview=1
Basically, Microsoft has a utility called "Windows Installer Cleanup
Utility", and after downloading it, I used its remove utility and it
successfully removed Quicken. I was then able to re-install Quicken normally
and it works great.
I don't really understand why the uninstall utility in Windows Visat doesn't
work as well or the same as this utility I downloaded, but anyway, it's
working now.
