How to Troubleshoot Common Issues in Quicken 2014 Setup?

It sounds like you're dealing with a couple of issues in Quicken 2014. First, regarding the password for the vault, ensure that you're entering it correctly. Sometimes, a simple typo can prevent access. If the problem persists, consider resetting the vault password if that option is available. For the transaction downloads, it seems like there are some damaged transactions in your file. You should delete those transactions and recreate them as needed. Specifically, you mentioned a transfer involving Compass Bank that appears to be damaged. Deleting this and re-entering the transaction should help. Additionally, there's a warning about securities having prices dated in the future. This can lead to discrepancies in your balances. You can fix this by going to the Security Detail View under Investing Tools, selecting the affected security, and updating or editing the price history. Since you've been using Quicken for a long time, you might already have backups of your files. If the current file is too corrupted, consider restoring from a backup. This could help you avoid the issues you're facing with the current installation. If you have any other backups, it might be worth repeating the validation process to see if that resolves the problems. Overall, focus on addressing the damaged transactions and the future-dated prices, and that should help get things back on track.
