Can't open or Reinstall Quicken Deluxe 2014 on Win 7 64-bit after Ver. 7 Quicken Update

A few days ago I hit a problem as soon as I allowed Ver. 7 update to run for Quicken Deluxe 2014.

Once Quicken updated to Ver. 7 and I restarted the HP laptop, a pop up window (Security Warning) says:

Name: C:\Program Files (x86)\Quicken.exe --- Hit “Run”

When I hit Run, a Quicken Flash screen comes up temporarily and then the following pop up message:

“Quicken 2014 – Your system has blocked Quicken from accessing the following files:

C:\Users\Mike\AppData\Roaming\Intuit\Quicken\Log\qw.log

C:\Users\Mike\AppData\Roaming\Intuit\Quicken\Data\QW.RMD

You can fix this situation by doing the following:

1. Go to the files/folders

2. Select Properties – then Security tab

3. Change the listed permissions from Deny to Allow

4. Click OK

5. Restart Quicken”

Note: I did this step many times and rebooted each time as well. Each permission has “Allow” checked for both files.

Then a Quicken Window pops up and says:

Quicken Window has stopped working.

I've uninstalled Quicken many times since using Windows Uninstall program, QClean (by Quicken), and Revo Uninstaller.

I tried to install Quicken in Safe mode and got a 1601 Error which I tried to correct with the fix instructions - it did not correct.

Something keeps blocking the installation of Quicken 2014 Deluxe (I tried the fresh download from Quicken's web site and rom my original disk.

Prior to this Ver. 7 Quicken update I had no problems opening or installing Quicken.

To make matters worse, to try installing Quicken to a new user account, I tried to create a new user account in Win 7 and while it does create a new account, after I reboot, and click on the new user I get the message:

"The User Profile Service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded."

Any help loading Quicken 2014 *any version), or in fixing Win 7 so I can create and open a new users account would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike
