Summary: Quicken 2009 Premeire hurts my eyes and causes headaches
Comment: I upgraded from Quicken 2006, which flickered and redrew the screen constantly. Quicken 2009 is significantly worse, now to the point of being painful to use. The flickering and redraws make my eyes hurt and give me headaches to use. With Quicken 2006, the level of flickering was almost acceptable, but now it is downright unusable. I bought this online, and fortunately, they have a 30 day return policy.
I tried communicating with support, and the only thing they could come up with is a video driver conflict, and to disable hardware acceleration. I have a Dell laptop, about as standard as they come. I am not going to downgrade my laptop to make it a Quicken-only system. No other application works like this. Quicken support then made the absurd claim that Quicken can only run on a machine running at 1024x768 resolution.

Summary: Many problems with Quicken Premier 2009 - Indicate XP or Vista
Comment: I too have experienced downloading bank transactions with quicken premier 2009 XP version. It would help if reviewers would indicate the operating system they are using. Are the problems occuring with both vista and XP?? it is not clear. I went back to quicken premier 2007.

Summary: Buggy. Please do not waste money on it.
Comment: I had used Quicken until 2006 and it worked well then. Bought Premier 2009 and paid full price for it.
Installation appeared to be all right but the program kept crashing every time I used the password vault. Called quicken support multiple times and spent at least 10 hours, and finally it was I who figured out the solution. The password vault was crashing because the password for one of my credit cards was too long and it caused the program to crash. Now I cannot use the keyboard to move between transactions, whether using the tab or enter button. Spent another 5 hours with customer support and they found no solution.
There are other bugs as well. This program is not worth more than 10-20 dollars most, given the amount of heartache and pain it has caused me. I would return it but I have trashed the original packaging it came with.
Please do not waste your time or money on this useless buggy software.
