reinstall QB 2008

Try to reinstall and run your QBD 2008 in Win 7 or Win 8 compatibility mode on your Win 10. QBD 2008 doesn't support Win 10 natively. If the same error persists, you should consider buying a new license for QBD 2022 or 2023 Pro Plus to upgrade your version. Another option, you can explore a free desktop program to replace your QBD completely.
