I now have the same problem as you, but don't know what you mean by running the batch file. Where is it located and how do I get it to run? Is it in the registry? Thank you! Todd
Many thanks Joe. That did the trick! It is scary to think how such small lines of code can stop one dead in one's tracks and muck up what you're doing.
You're the foist "make sense" support I've found over the last three days. I've been using QB2006 (reluctantly) for 6 months now. Until Friday, it ran no problems, then it started forcibly rebooting computer. No help online, especially from Intuit. Funny thing is, I have it installed on Laptop and same company file works. Uninstalled three times and reinstalled. Went through all suggestions QB offered. Going to try a repair and run batch file manually. Thanks For suggestion. bilbod81@hotmail.com
Wellll, not even that seemed to help. Made all of QB'z suggestions as far as permissions. QB log still reports missing module in log and still persists I need Power user or Administrator rights. if any one has answer let me know... bilbod81@hotmail.com
Five months after your original post, and a full day wasted, I am soooo glad that you posted your experience. I have paid full price for this product, used it for almmost a year, then the hard drive crashed. Tried to reinstall, but had the same problem. That sad part is that Intuit offers support for thirty days only. I wonder why don't they post this on their websit? Thanks again Fuad
Joe, you are the man!! I have had this problem since 2006. I just left it alone and worked around it using other means. You should see how many people in the QuickBooks Forums who are having the same problem. I copied and pasted your post in several discussions and posted Joe's Bit Bucket's address as the source. There are many people there who are pissed off that Intuit has not given them a solution. Just the same old "deinstall and reinstall" bullsh!t. And I'm talking posts as old as when I first looked there for a solution in 2006.
I had this problem with Quickbooks 2007 even though the user was a Domain Admin and local admin. Once I manually ran the batch file like you mentioned it worked just as described. Thanks and great find.
I could just kiss you! After many days and nights of tears and frustration, I happened upon your site and presto your batch file instructions worked! You are a lifesaver. Thank you!

Todd, the batch file you need to run is located at:
C:\Program Files\Intuit\QuickBooks Pro\reboot.bat
Just browse to that file with "My Computer" or "Explorer" and run it by double-clicking it.
Many thanks Joe. That did the trick! It is scary to think how such small lines of code can stop one dead in one's tracks and muck up what you're doing.
That worked! Thanks so much for taking time to blog about this issue.

THANK YOU! After 3 1/2 hours of playing with this one silly program, I caught a link to this from the QuickBooks forum.
You have saved the office!
Hi Joe!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
I use QB Pro to run 3 businesses, and was having the same problem, it would install, but not launch. Running the batch file fixed it!
You're a genius!
Thanks so much!
