Good luck.

Can anyone tell me what these errors are as I can't get my Quicken 2001
Deluxe to open because I get message "application has unexpectedly quit
because of type 3 error" and sometimes says type 2 error.
Type 1 and 2 errors
Errors with a code of 1 or 2 are memory errors. Type 1 are bus errors and
type 2 are address errors. Getting one of these errors means that the
application is unable to address a segment of memory because that memory is
either reserved for another use or doesn't exist. This can also appear as a
type -110 error.
Possible Solutions
1) Allocate more memory. At a minimum, you should use the preferred
setting of memory for the application. Quit the application, find its icon
on the desktop, and press {apple} -I to bring up the Get Info box. If you
have any extra RAM, go ahead and allocate more than the suggested amount and
see if that clears up the problem.
2) Delete an application's preference file. If you are experiencing
problems with one application and can't seem to find the cause or the
solution, quit the application, and remove that application's Preferences
file from the System Folder's Preference folder. Afterwards, relaunch the
application so it will start a new preferences file. You will need to reset
any settings or preferences you've changed while customizing the
application.
3) Look for extension conflicts. You can test for extension conflicts by
the process of elimination. (disable half of your extensions by dragging
them out of the Extensions folder, then restart to see if the problem
disappears; continue subdividing until you locate the problem extension).
You can also use the same technique using the Extensions Manager.
4) Reinstall software. If none of the previous steps have helped, try
reinstalling the software. Afterwards, remember to trash it preferences as
directed in Step 2. If you are still experiencing problems, try
reinstalling your system software with the clean install option.
5) Check for viruses. It is important to regularly run a virus-detection
program on your Mac. These programs can tell you if a virus is spotted on
your computer and sometimes can repair the problem.
