Paul, I’d have to have hands on your system to be able to figure that out. QB is just not recognizing that you have IE installed. Sounds like a registry problem, where QB can’t detect IE exists.

Had a new hard drive installed. When I Installed QB 2008 and tried to run, I got a message that QB needs Microsoft IE 6 or higher. I have the latest version of IE. I cannot get past this window, QB won’t open. Is there a fix?

Linda, you can’t run the program from a removeable drive, so if you have put the program THERE, you need to move it to the hard drive and install it on that.

I use the Quickbooks 2008 Simple Start version. I have just purchased a laptop and wanted to use the QB2008 Simple Start on it. I have it copied to a flash drive, but cannot open it. I am not sure on what to do next and whatever information you have would be helpful. Thank you

Perry, there are a couple of KB articles in the Intuit web site that relate to the qbregistration.dat file. Take a look at these, hopefully that will help. I’ve not run into that particular issue myself.

When i click on the QB icon, i get an error that reads c:\ProgramData\CommonFiles\Intuit\QuickBooks\qbregistration.dat Then it wont load. I tried to do a system restore (Vista user) and it didn’t fix the issue. It would only let me go back 16 days and when it came back up, it said system restore failed. What gives? Thanks!

Ruth, it is hard to give you an answer without more info. What happens when you try to open your company file? Is your copy of QB up to date, with the latest revision for 2008? Is it the US edition? What operating system are you running?
