We use QuickBooks Timer to track our billing hours. It seems to crash with great regularity whenever you finish entering an item. When it does this, its usual two note happy acceptance chirp turns into a squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee that goes on and on and on …
I’ve found a way of fixing this without rebooting:
- Hit Ctrl-Alt-Del, and call up the Task Manager
- Select QuickBooks Timer, and ‘End Task’ (it may take several tries)
- Open a command prompt, and hit Ctrl-G, then Enter
- After beeping, and complaining that ” is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file, the beeping will stop.
This has been a public sanity announcement.
