Intuit not ready for prime time

Intuit’s update to make Quicken 2007 compatible with Lion isn’t quite ready for it’s closeup with reality.

The message boards are full of people who have spent the $15 for the upgrade only to have the program crash when it starts.

Rumors are that a fix will come soon, but if you depend on Quicken 2007, stay away from Lion.

For some people, the problem goes away by opening the file and throwing out historical stock quotes (ouch). Others solve the problem by uninstalling various video codecs used by Quicktime. Others just quit using Quicken.
