Error when trying to download the price for ordering checks.

Detail:
If you try to download the price for ordering checks and your modem doesn't work the first time and when you retry it displays a error window saying: Can't load QODATA.DLL.

Answer / Workaround:
This message occurs generally when you don't have well configured modem, or it wasn't auto-detected by Quicken. This is a limitation of the application. To resolve problem, verify proper modem configuration in Quicken, exit the application, then relaunch and retry connection.

After uninstall, icon left in system tray, error when starting.

Detail:
Uninstall Quicken. The icon is left in the system tray. Right click it and select Start Quicken option. The Microsoft Network icon becomes the Quicken icon. An error window is displayed "Qaware caused stack fault in module QAWARE at 0157:0040155c."

Answer / Workaround:
This problem is fixed in the latest release (Quicken ver. 6 rel. 4-I). The latest version is being "phased in" to manufacturing so only the initial shipments will contain the previous release. Part numbers not available at this time. NOTE: When in Quicken, if you click on "About"--> "Quicken" to find the version/release info, it will display "Quicken SE for Windows 95 -Release 6.0c". Regardless of 'our' release number. The version has fixes applied for us, although, it will still display the '6.0c' commercial release number.

Quicken flyer and preload condition do not match.

Detail:
Quicken flyer in the ship group states that Quicken is pre-loaded, but it is not. This may lead to some user confusion.
