SYMPTOM

Problems with TaskMAX & SuperStor with Quicken v5

ISSUE/PROBLEM

Intuit has been getting reports from customers using Stacker from Stac
Electronics and now from customers using SuperStor from AddStor that
Quicken 5.0 has certain problems when executing from a compressed drive. 
There are also reports on not being able to swap tasks under TaskMAX while
running Quicken.

SOLUTION

It is Novell's recommendation that where possible users should run Quicken
from a non-compressed drive or from a floppy.

TaskMAX will not work when Quicken 5 is run. Apparently, Quicken
intercepts all keyboard input and TaskMAX is not getting any keystrokes.
This does not cause TaskMAX to fail. It only means that you cannot switch
tasks while Quicken is running. When you exit Quicken it will restore the
keyboard and TaskMAX will function normally.


Intuit Technical Support recommends the use of the /K switch to allow
TaskMAX access to the keyboard. Use the following command:

     Q /K
