1.0 out of 5 stars Great Idea, but...., February 2, 2006

By	QIOMD (Princeton, NJ) - See all my reviews

I was an early adopter of version 1; version 2 has just been released. While this software does what it purports to do, the issue is with Quicken's installation and support practices. QMEM requires the use of .NET framework v 1.1...NOT version 2. If you install it over .NET 2, its buggy and their techs online suggest you uninstall .NET 2. Catch - uninstalling .NET 2 will, on many Windows XP systems, make .NET 1.1 unstable.

Further, it is not possible to talk with Quicken MEM support. You can post a problem, leave you phone number, and they will contact you at their (not your) convienence.

What am I left with? 1) Back to doing my medical expenses by hand and 2) facing a Windows XPsp2 reinstall.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good idea gone wrong, March 17, 2006

By	Jim (Larchmont NY USA) - See all my reviews

I found the 2.1 version (the latest version) slow and inflexibile. It actually produced the wrong answers for my health insurance policies and the results could not be adjusted manually. Also found the "Help" section far from helpful although on-line assistance was responsive (although unable to make it right). I think Intuit just got this program into the market too quickly without proper testing.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good idea if it had been kept simple, but too slow to use..., March 7, 2006

By	tall-latte (Sammamish, WA USA) - See all my reviews

I was excited to hear about this product since I have a son with autism. My first reaction is that I wish this would have been a web-based product, since I frequently use multiple computers (Quicken would also be a great web-based product).

I have tried both the first version and the version 2.1 upgrade, and unfortunately Intuit made this a fat and slow product (I have high-end Pentium 4 PCs with 2GB RAM).

If Intuit had made this a simple, lightweight, fast program, they would have had a hit. I wish I had time to develop a web-based competitor, as this is an interesting product idea.

I will be checking to see if Intuit has a money-back satisfaction guarantee...
