Quickens difficulties with Vista are, in a word, legendary.
There is a solution for you to tide you over until Quicken gets their act together. Download a free copy of Microsoft's Virtual PC 2007 and install it on your Vista machine. This will give you a virtual window to operate in, and you will need to take your XP disc and create a new disc with XP on it as an iso file. Once you have created this file, drag the iso file icon on to the small cd icon in the lower left corner of the virtual screen. This will install XP into the virtual window. When XP finishes installing, run all the updates thru service pak 3. Don't bother with antivirus software unless you really plan on doing something besides run Quicken.
Install Quicken and run it normally in the XP Window. You will have acces to printers, network, etc, just as if you were on an xp machine.
I had to do this when Netscreen delayed for nearly 14 months their conversion of the VPN application to Vista.
This will work until Quicken figures things out.
