Microsoft Screws Quickbooks

Many of my customers have been reporting that after installing a Windows Update from Microsoft, QuickBooks does not open. The Loading QuickBooks splash screen appears briefly or flashes on the screen, and then disappears.

This issue is caused by a damaged component of Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0. that was pushed onto Windows XP machines through the online windows update mechanism.

Intuit has posted a fairly comprehensive fix on their website
