A. You can Copy a shortcut to Quicken 99 on the Win2000 desktop. One-way to do this is to boot in Win98 and right-click on a Quicken shortcut either on your desktop or in the Start > Programs list. Now, click on 'Copy'. Double-click on the My Computer icon. Double-click on the hard drive that has the Win2000 operating system. In Windows Explorer click on the plus (+) sign beside Desktop in the left panel; right-click in an open space in the right panel and select Paste to place a copy of the shortcut on the Win2000 desktop.
Restart the computer in Win2000; double-click on the new shortcut. You'll get three error messages about .dll files it can't find. As each message comes up, do a StartàSearch and type in the filename.dll. (The .dll will be located in the Win98 Windows\System folder.) Right click on the filename and click on Copy. In Win2000, Start > Explore > Windows > System, click on Edit on the menu bar and Paste the file into the System folder. Repeat this process for the other two files that Win2000 doesn't have. After each copy/paste, double click on the shortcut to try out the program. After the third file is copied, Quicken 99 should be operable from the Win2000 shortcut.

A. You can create a shortcut in the Win2000 My Documents folder to the Win98 My Documents so that you can easily get to your previous documents and save your new documents there also. Open Win2000 My Documents, click on the down arrow point to the right of Address: and double-click on Win98 drive. Right-click on the My Documents folder and click on Copy. Click on Back, click on Edit and Paste Shortcut. Word 97 and Word 2000 are very compatible so there shouldn't be any problems.
