Quicken 2003 For Dummies
Installing and Starting Quicken 2003
Adapted From: Quicken 2003 For Dummies

You install Quicken 2003 the same way you install any program in Windows. Installing Quicken from a CD-ROM is as easy as one, two, three, four, five.

  1. Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

In a short amount of time, Quicken asks if you'd like to install the Quicken program onto your hard drive.

  1. Click the Install Quicken button.

The installation program starts and displays the Welcome message.

  1. Click Next.

Quicken then asks you a few questions:

The first question is whether you accept the Quicken license agreement.

The next one asks whether you want to perform an Express or Custom installation. Unless you want to spend time figuring out features and storage, just go with the Express installation.

The installation program also asks whether you want to install the U.S. version or the Canadian version.

  1. Answer these three questions by clicking the appropriate buttons. Then click the Install Now button.

Quicken installs itself, which takes a few minutes, then asks you to restart your computer.

  1. Restart your computer.

Congratulations. You're done.

After you install Quicken, you need to start it to finish the setup process. The easiest way to start Quicken is to double-click the Quicken shortcut icon that (post-installation) appears on your Windows desktop. The Quicken program window appears, almost like magic.
