I Have the problem with QB with Release 5- I found out that if I Remove the program , reinstall or go back to an earlier release it will work ,but then QB Force you to install again the R5 and they removed the option of DO NOT Install automatic updates.
A way around which has helped is this thread I found n Reddit - Right Now after turn of the home page is has not crashed since the forced R5 Install.
The temporary work around we have implemented is (courtesy BigRedConsulting in that thread):
- To open your company file and stop the Home page from loading, hold down the Alt key while the company is opening.
- To stop the Home page from loading in the future, change your preference from the QuickBooks menu at Edit | Preferences | Desktop View | My Preferences. Deselect the ineptly named "Show home page when opening a company file" option, which does not apply to all company files as suggested, but only to the current file.
