As a quasi-techie mom, I am happy to find a work-around that beats the greedy corporados. But this work-around gave me back the functionality Intuit decided to take away from me. Now, I don’t download stock transaction information, just normal bank and VISA transactions, so I don’t know if this will work for people who need to do that. The transactions download into Quicken as a QFX file just like they always did. I can still do this, though Quicken gives me an error message saying it can’t connect to the Internet.

Then, I went into my ZoneAlarm firewall software and set the program control to prevent Quicken from contacting the Internet EVER! When I download transactions from my various banks, I always do it from the bank website, which sends the data to Quicken. I copied my active data files back into my new Quicken Program directory. I rebooted and reinstalled Quicken 2002 to a different directory.

I uninstalled Quicken 2002 and deleted everything left in the QuickenW directory.

First, I backed up my Quicken data files and moved them to a new directory on my hard drive. I have a workaround that lets me keep using Quicken 2002 and it works with the four banks I download transactions from! Software firewalls are the right tool here.
