Bruce, it is hard to say without having my hands on your system. The first thing I’d look at is – did you install it while logged in as the administrator, and installed it for all users? You can uninstall, then reinstall, and make sure you are logged in as admin and that it is available for all users. Also, make sure UAC is enabled when you try to run it.

I previously had QB 2005 installed on windows vista 64 bit ssystem. Upgraded to QB 2009 pro after the installation the only way to open the program is t right click and “ruan as administrator”. When you open it this way it changes the way the screen looks and the program does not look like it should. I have downloaded the R7 patch and still does not help. I called Intuit to get answers but they were useless…no help! I am desperate to find an answer.

Peter, this is a bit off topic for this particular discussion. However, a “where used” report is not available through QuickBooks. You need to go to a third party product, get a custom written, or try to come up with this via the ODBC driver yourself.

Charlie:

I’m wondering if you can answer this question, since you know quite a bit about inventory management, both within the QuickBooks application as well as via a separate integrated application.
A manufacturing customer who uses Assemblies in QBES 9.0 extensively asked the following question:

1) How can we determine, preferably from an Item List view, which assemblies a specific Item is utilized by; AND, for each of those assemblies, the quantity required of the given item. Can anyone provide insight as to how we can answer this inquiry?

Thanks Peter Cullen

CB, anything is possible. I have Live Community turned off (I don’t like losing the space it takes up) but have Automatic Updates turned on, and I don’t have significant slowdowns.

Having said that, everyone’s computer is different and there are so many things that can interact. Firewalls, other programs, different disk and processor types, networking setups, variations of operating systems, all these factors can affect things. I don’t have a magic answer for everyone – I’d have to actually get my hands on the computer to see what is going on. Too many variables…

Perhaps it is the “automatic check for updates” feature. I noticed on my previous XP computer that when the automatic update is on it realllly slowed things down.
I not only had to turn it off as a preference in Quickbooks, but had to go to RUN MSCONFIG and uncheck the box to run the updates. From then on it was much faster and I just manually checked for updates from time to time. Hope this helps.

Laura, without having access to your computer it is hard for me to say much more. There are a lot of things that can cause QuickBooks to slow down, although I’ve not seen (myself) a difference between the 2008 and 2009 release.

Are you running on Vista? See this article: http://support.quickbooks.intuit.com/support/pages/knowledgebasearticle/1004357

Charlie – thanks for the suggestion but I don’t have Live Community checked off. Also, I only have a single user application and it’s only installed on my computer. (We’re a small office and I’m the only bookkeeper)
