I am installing Quickbooks Pro 2005 on my Windows 7 computer. I got past the flash error but encountered a fatal error when trying to run quickbooks. Any fixes?

This will help you out. You have to install in compatibility mode.

Please give a positive rating if this helps you out.

You're several versions behind with your QB Pro, and also several versions behind with the Flash Player you're trying to install.

If you're reinstalling because you upgraded your operating system version, this is likely the root cause. QB 2005 is not compatible with Windows 7; neither is Flash 7.

While you may be able to install the program using XP Mode, that isn't the most reliable way of running it. I recommend avoiding uninstalling the .net framework files and "back versioning" as a way of getting around it, because it is likely to cause problems with other functions.

You may be best off to upgrade your Quickbooks version.

Hope that's helpful.

As the error message indicates:

Please go to:
http://www.macromedia.com/software/flashplayer
and download the "Flashplayer 7.0 or Newer"

After you have downloaded/installed "Flashplayer" (A Free Program) try re-installing QuickBooks.

- close all programs
- use internet explorer to open http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/ - download and install flash player.
- run quick book 05 installation again

right click on the install cd and click on QBooks, then setup and it will install withou tthat happening

Download the latest flash player from www.adobe.com
