Question: How do I make a Print Screen?

Answer: When you have anything on a screen and you need to send it just simply hold down your Control Key and while it is being held down hit your Print Screen Button. It looks like nothing happen, but it did put it on your clipboard. Now just open Word and paste the Screen Shot on a blank page.

Question: I received the following message when trying to install QwikQuote.

Answer: This is the type of message you will see if you are trying to install QwikQuote and you do not have sufficient rights. See below for Vista.



Administrator in Vista
In the Windows Operating System other than Vista or on a computer that has 3rd party protection software similar to Vista UAC, you can install QwikQuote properly with an Administrator Group User. If not, the QwikQuote installation program will prompt you for Administrator rights and the usual understanding of an Administrator Group User log in will work.
However, in Vista, the 1st user you set is an Administrator Group User it is not the overall Administrator. Therefore, the QwikQuote installation program is not able to advise you of this situation. If you just log in and try to install QwikQuote, you will see the above message.

Contact support@qwikquote.com if you feel you have sufficient rights and are still getting this message.

Old Quote still shows up

Question: "When I boot up QQ it pulls the last quote up, rather than a blank form. It does leave the contact header blank, but populates the form with the parts from the last quote."

Answer: There is a new feature that will auto back up the editing of a quote for a specified time. This is in case of a power falure. If you do not want to use this feature go to Options > Quote/Order Tab and un-click "Auto Backup Editing Quote Every." Then QwikQuote will start up with a new quote.
