Quicken 2004 Deluxe [Old Version]
CD only - Great Deal!
Reviews
"Couldn't locate my original disk when I bought a new PC."
"The only reason I upgraded is that Quicken will stop supporting account downloads for my 2001 version this year, and I was able to get a copy of this 2004 version from a seller on Amazon for about $10. Upgrading to an older version (2004 in this case) costs much less and allows you to continue downloading for a few more years."
"I purchased this even though I already had Quicken 2005 Deluxe because the 2004 version was the last one to support import of QIF files into the various accounts."
"I bought this for a friend & it installed on their old computer windows 98 & works without any problems."
"Other than Intuit intentionally crippling online updates after three years, it still works well."
"I have used Quicken for almost 20 years and this upgrade was both smooth and easy."
"Could not find the original disk to install on a new computer."
"The worst part of the program is the investment account data entry. This is a one thing at a time brain-dead user interface."

"Everything works on a Windows 7 Virtualbox with compatability!"
"I bought this mostly for the media player visualizations and movie maker transistions, which, i found out after I installed it, weren't as good as I thought they would be. Games: It came with three games: HyperBowl, Labyrinth, and RussianSquare, which are pretty good, but I would waste my time playing them when I've got a Ps3. Media player skins: It comes with a wide variety of cool skins, but one of them doesn't work properly. Media player visualizations: the three mediaplayer visualizations were the dumbest thing i've ever seen. Personal DJ: Makes auto playlists based on artists, albums, and genre. Voice command for windows media player: Pretty neet, but barely works. MP3 Audio Converter: works fine I imagine, but you can find ones 10 times better for free online. The screensavers are no big deal, but I love the various XP themes it comes with: space, nature, aquarium, and DaVinci."
"Just a word of caution - if you're planning on using the Audio Conversion section of the Microsoft Plus Digital Media Editon to convert WMA files to MP3 files, this won't work out of the box if you have WMP10 on your system (you will get an error noting an "incompatible codec")."
"I got this when Windows XP first came out, but lost the cd and license over the years."
"I love the screen savers and some of the other applications but this takes up way too much room on my hard drive and slows it down."
"His Manager was consulted and informed us that there is a glitch in this program and it can not be installed on some computers unless they already have Microsoft Plus!!"

"There was a few things missing."
"i recommend this product for all winxp buffs out there!"
"I love it it works with all my pc."
"A REPAIR PERSON FIX COMPUTERS IT WAS ON MY OLD COMPUTER IS A NICE SOFTWARE BEAUITFUL SCREENSAVERS."
"good price fast delivery Thanks."
"Only 1 is the complete version(at least I think it's the complete version, I didn't really play long enough to find out), the second you have to go online and download the rest of and the third you have to pay money to upgrade to the full version. There are eight screen savers, and the only one I actually liked is the aquarium, and to get the full version of it, you have to pay for it. The four(yes, only four!). Glad I didn't pay for it myself."

Reviews
"I've used Quicken since its early DOS versions and I am a true supporter of the product. The major change, forcing Home and Business users into the Home/Business/Rental property product is probably pointless for most, unless it is someone renting many properties or units."
"Whilst I am a Quicken user for 25 years plus, I am not in favour of the Rental Property merging with QH&B since there is minimal rental included in the minuscule business that I do."
"I've been using Quicken for years and this works as expected."
"There is no other system more sophisticated or as easy to use!"
"I run Windows 7, arguably the most stable OS MS ever produced, and a Dell Latitude i5 laptop that is rock solid. They try to get you to "Link" accounts online but it doesn't work and if tried you will find that it takes minutes to update. I'm trying to use the Manual bill pay method that they put back in as an afterthought. If it runs into an error on downloading account info, you cannot fix it without crashing the program. Manually accessing the same account web site shows no issues with logging in. It is a shame that Quicken is the only program out there that allows money management to the degree it was designed to. So we are stuck with a buggy program that hasn't improved even though Quicken separated from Intuit. If I could find a program, in the cloud or desktop that does bill pay, interfaces with my online bank, brokerage and credit card accounts and reliably reports on all, I would change in a heartbeat. FYI the only reason I bought this "subscription" is because I was using Q2015 and Quicken stops supporting their programs after three years. Other reviewers that have granted 4 and 5 stars to this program must be Quicken employees or simply don't use it or rely on it heavily like I do. I haven't tried the rental property module yet but plan on doing so before tax filing time. I was bound to Bank of America, a company I have an attitude about, because they had Direct Connect to Quicken. With Mint you can connect and draw on any checking account at any bank to pay any bill. If Q2018 decides that it can't connect to a previously working account, there is NO WAY to fix it. So I linked it to my dead credit card account and sure enough, Q2018 duplicated 1226 transactions. Now when I download account info, it puts in {[] square brackets in the category field. Even bills paid through Quicken 2018 with proper catefories assigned, are changed when updated by a bank download."
"Unlike a word processing piece of software where you create a document and then move on - your data and this piece of software become 'one'."
"On One Step Update program has a consistent problem causing me to reset Amazon CC account with text code verification every day. We use a powerful (2017) Dell desktop computer with an i5-4570 3.2GHz - 256GB SSD and 8 GB ram with a 1 terabit personal backup so no problem there."
