I have been fighting with my computer since 1:30pm today and am about ready to chuck this damn thing in front of a moving truck.
This all began as an innocent install of Turbotax 2009, yes I was feeling motivated to get my taxes finished today. But, after many hours both on the phone and online chatting with their tech support, no one and I mean no one can explain why I can not install this stupid program. I have tried everything from disabling ALL of my securities and virus program, to doing a complete windows update, which took almost 45 minutes in itself (it has been awhile since I've done an update). So...I'm unsure what to do next. I'm thinking about taking this damn thing somewhere and having it all reprogrammed. BTW, I have 4 previous years of Turbotax and NEVER had this much trouble, actually I have never had any trouble. Then the last person i spoke with kind of gave up and suggested i use the online version. Well, I already paid for this desktop version plus the online version is $33.90 cheaper. While I was trying to see if they will refund the diff I ended up loosing the internet connection and I'm to blame with that cause i was attempting to troubleshoot in the background.
If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears. Also, my Norton 360 security program is about due to be renewed and was wondering if there is anything else out there that is better.
Thanks for reading my rant.
