However, when starting the programme I receive the message that "Your user account for Windows was created with Restricted access to system resources. This will prevent Quickbooks from operating properly. Please contact your system adminstrator and ask him or her to grant you standard user rights." Please note that as a single user I installed this as Adminstrator. I set up a new user with standard access rights and received the same message on looking to run the programe. I would appreciate any pointers on how I can move forwards.

If I run an upgrade on the PC to upgrade from 2002 to the 2008 version will this work or will I need a brand new Quickbooks? If I read you correctly, you want to run the QB 2008 installer on your new Vista machine that has a broken install of QB 2002 and choose to upgrade that install. I wouldn't do that. First, completely uninstall QB 2002, then do a fresh install of QB 2008 and be sure to update it to the latest release. Lastly, open your old QB 2002 data file (after making backups of course) in QB 2008 and let it do it's conversion to the new version. Note: be sure you haven't mucked with Vista's new security model, such as disabling UAC -- the Vista supported versions of QB don't like that.

When the Intuit clearly states that Versions 2007 and up are the only versions that are supported in Vista Haskel does not take any chances. It just does not pay not to upgrade QB to a version certified to work on that operating system. Even if you can get an older version running there will always be that doubt that any and all problems encountered are caused by running the program in Vista. I sure as hell would never tell any of my clients that its OK to run QB 2004 under Vista. Could there be file corruption, perhaps I don't know for sure but then I will never know because Haskel practices safe computing and so should you.

After the file is converted and before you make a single entry, run a verify. Some data files [ones with large quantities and small per unit costs] can't be converted to newer versions because QB changed the way it rounds numbers in its inventory cost calculation. 99.99% of files have no problem, but you don't want to be in the .01%.
