Just trying to get some advice and ideas. I’m thinking that either there is a corrupt system file or something in the registry is preventing a fresh install of the program. I copied the company files from his laptop and opened them up on mine. I installed the program on my own laptop to see if it would work properly, and it did. I then uninstalled all of QB, then reinstalled afresh. When I clicked OK the program would quit.

I entered the password, and it loaded the file, but then gave a setup error: “Failed to load resources from resource file. When I booted it back up and opened QB, it loaded and brought up the logon password block. I then reinstalled QB pro without uninstalling it, thinking that it would make the required repairs. I took the laptop and first found his QBW files and copied them to another folder to keep them safe. Every time he would open it up it would give an error message that said something about the PAYRES.dll was a bad windows image (I don’t quite remember, and I cannot restore the computer to that time anymore, sorry). I gave it back to him and a few days later he told me about his problem with QBs. I removed a lot of unnecessary programs like HP printer suites and stuff he no longer had any use for. Long story short, I got the laptop to boot up and run stable. His laptop had problems that I don’t think were related to the QB software. He has Quick Books Pro 2007 installed for his business. I am in the process of trying to fix a friend’s laptop.
