Other top "Frequently Asked Questions" this month had to do with the new Microsoft Internet Explorer version 7. If you have installed the new Internet Explorer and are unable to update CFS programs from the Internet, click here for instructions.

Another common question this month concerns a conflict between the reports function in our programs and that in several other programs, notably TaxWorks and CSUTax. If you have either of these programs and/or your reports are taking an excessive time to print and report items are not lined up horizontally, call us and we will guide you through the fix.

Information about Windows Vista Compatibility
We are already getting a few questions about Windows Vista, Microsoft’s newest operating system. Like most tax software companies, we do not recommend installing Vista during tax season. However, if you do upgrade, we have done some testing and our programs should work with Vista. The only problem we have identified is that the help files will not be accessible.
