Quicken 2010 Update Problem

I just got the Quicken 2010 Deluxe to upgrade my old version 2008. Big mistake. Not only the 2010 version has not changed much from 2008, it is slower and apparently very buggy!

The very first thing after the installation of the Quicken 201o, it goes to check for update as before. The problem is the auto update FAILED!

After searching the web, I found a manual patch to update the initial version of the 2010 from R1 to R5. It also FAILED. Both version end up giving the erreor message "Oops, update was not completed. Restart your computer and try again."! Needless to say, restat did not work.

After searchng the web further, I found this "full manual patch" of over 100MB. Well, at least this time it worked and now I have R5 version of the Quicken 2010. Sad to say though, this version is still slower than 2008. If you have Quicken 2008 or newer and have not "upgrading" to the 2010, don't waste you money on this very sloppy new version! If you are like me already waste the money and unable to update the Quicken 2010, Here is the link for
