Installed Quickbooks 08 on new pc running Vista. Have problems opening
company file. keep getting a warning box that "File specified cannot be
opened. Make sure not in use by another program or read only. Windows
error:System cannot find path specified." If you tap "OK" 20-30 times file
will open. Also problem with QB's updates. Been down the road of
uninstall-reinstall of QB, QB tech support. etc. After numerous "fixes" QB
tech support says a Vista problem. Any help?

You probably want to post this in the Quickbooks community.

Where is the company file loaded up? I have QB running here just fine.

QB tech is full of it.
