Hello!!

 

A few times a day, my QB starts buffering and I cannot do anything for about 2 minutes each time! Can anyone suggest why this would be hapening?

 

Thank you so much!

I want to ensure you'll get back into business as soon as possible, @PremierRef2019.

 

Let me explain why you're getting this trouble when running QuickBooks Desktop.

 

  • Your company name may be too long
  • You may have a damaged or missing QBWUSER.INI file
  • You may have corruption on your hard drive
  • Your program files or QuickBooks Desktop installation may be damaged
  • You may have a damaged Windows operating system

 

Let's perform some of the troubleshooting steps to help fix the issue. Before anything else, make sure to install the latest QuickBooks Desktop release version. This helps keep QBDT up-to-date and get the newest features or product enhancements.

 

After that, run the  Quick Fix my Program from the QuickBooks Tool. This tool helps resolve common QBDT errors.

 

  1. Close QuickBooks.
  2. Download the most recent version (1.4.0.0) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub. Save the file somewhere you can easily find it (like your Downloads folder or your Windows desktop). Please note: If you've already installed Tool Hub before, you can find out which version you have. Click on the Home tab.  The version will reflect on the bottom right or you can choose  About to view the version.
  3. Run the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
  4. Go through the on-screen steps to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
  5. Once done, double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to run the tool hub.

 

For more information about the remaining troubleshooting procedure, see this link: Fix issues when QuickBooks has stopped working.

 

I'll also include this extra module about fixing installation errors: Repair your QuickBooks Desktop for Windows.
