I've spent the last week trying to get a group of software for a programming class to play nice in Parallels, then Virtual Box, then VMWare Fusion 4.1 on my Mac Pro running Snow Leopard. I hadn't upgraded to Lion yet because of stupid Quicken 2007.
Overall, I'm loving VMWare most, but now I can't get Quicken 2007 to open. It crashes every time I try to import or export from Quicken. It's never done that before.
After spending more time than I care to think about on this (especially after spending a week trying to get this other software to work), I copied the backup file over to my MacBook Pro, which also has Quicken 2007 on it, and does NOT have VMWare Fusion on it. Quickbooks was more than happy to export from itself.
So, did Fusion kill off my Mac Pro copy of Quicken?
I have trashed my Quicken preferences, repaired my permissions, zapped my pram, run Disk Warrior, rebuolt my directory, rebuilt Quickens lists, copied a backup file over from Time Machine from a month ago, reinstalled Quicken from a disk...and I go to export or import, and the application crashes by quickly closing.
I know Quicken 2007 is pretty long in the tooth, but Quicken Essentials sucks, and I haven't been thrilled with iBank, Moneydance, and See Money, or whatever that is.
Can anyone help?
