I wonder if Q simply has a 'hole' that other FIs are simply exploiting. Seems funny that multiple FIs can put splash screens in unless, as I surmised earlier, 'last one wins'. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Regards - - Andrew
From: ps56k on 2 Nov 2009 15:58 ok... it's under the Marketing banner, so, I'm guessing it's part of a specific marketing target. my "10898" version is from Chase - and we have Chase checking & savings accounts ? SO - maybe it's tied to specific types of accounts, or Billpay (don't use it), or some other "primary attribute" ?

Sort of like the air space behind home plate on a baseball game - we only see it on TV - it's not actually there on the wall at the stadium. Eventually a different one would show-up in a different <nnn> folder. G.

I have a CHASE splash screen in C://ProgramData/Intuit/Quicken/10898/SPLASH.BMP (Q08H&B, Vista SP2) but I see only the normal splash screen. Look carefully at the upper-left corner of the Chase splash screen. Mine says "Connected to online services from: CHASE". That suggests that the intended design is that an FI-specific splash screen should not appear unless there is an active online connection to that FI. It seems to me that the Quicken mechanism that detects the presence or absence of an active FI connection is what's running amok for some users. Perhaps Quicken Support can tell you what that mechanism is and you can then troubleshoot this issue more intelligently. Hope this helps (but it usually doesn't when you're looking for needles in haystacks without the source code). Jerry

At least it did. I have the original splash screen back today. And, NO. I didn't do anything to change it. -- Jim |
