FAQ:How to Turn Off Live Community in QuickBooks
QuickBooks added the Live Community feature to enable people to get answers from the online Intuit Community Forums. For some people this slows things down, and it requires an Internet connection. If you want to turn this feature off select Edit then Preferences, select the Desktop View preference, and un check the show live community box.

Nice advice – too bad it does not work
Well, Nick, it works for me and most people – but some versions/editions/releases of QuickBooks have some bugs in them that create some issues. Note that this article was written in 2010, and the screen is from QuickBooks 2010. You should be on the R14 release for QB 2010, as older releases have bugs.
QuickBooks 2012 handles this issue in a different way. But, it is similar, and it works for me.
