Windows 8, Quickbooks won't email or print

Oh you naughty Windows 8, just another thing I don't like about you.

I have had MANY calls on this issue. This is an issue with even the latest 2013 versions of Quickbooks.  I have not found a fix for the email button but working on it. I have found fixes and work arounds for printing and creating pdfs.

Here are some of the most common issues that I have had to deal with and their work around and fixes:

Unable to reconcile accounts or to create, print, or email .pdf files

Repair damaged print settings - QBPrint.qbp file is the culprit here

QuickBooks 2010 and 2009 PDF Printer Problems with 64 Bit Systems

Link Referral, generate traffic

free web site traffic and promotion
The Linkreferral Concept We are striving to provide an affordable alternative to search engines and banner ad campaigns which give mediocre results. Our four pronged approach to developing free traffic for our members is described below,

Members directory traffic - By joining, you will be included in our members directory which is visited by our community of over 300,000 members, and thousands of outside visitors on a daily basis. You'll have the opportunity to earn a ranking at the top of your category, absolutely free! Receive valuable feedback from visitors of your website, network with your peers, and give your opinion on other websites in the directory. The more you participate, the more you get in return! (more details) Referral based traffic - You are probably familiar with the concept of network marketing, well this is a free version of that marketing method - by registering and promoting your linkreferral affiliate link, an exponential growth of 5 levels of referrals can be created (ex. you refer 10 people who refer 10 people each who refer 10 each....), potentially 10,000s of visitors/day all viewing your link prominently in the top spot of our 'Featured Sites' section on our home page for your referral ID. It works because its free, fast to register, easy to implement and no risk. People that are referred from your site will have nothing to lose and everything to gain, just like you. (more details) Search engine traffic - By registering, you'll benefit several ways, including, 1) having your webpage listing indexed more quickly - the major search engines continuously spider our site, and the sites listed in our directory.
2) Improved search engine rankings and SEO optimization.
3) Indirect search engine traffic via linkreferral.com. Pages such as your directory listing and your affiliate page listing feature your link and description, are picked up by all the major search engines. Your sign-up description, combined with our strong traffic base (a prime ranking factor for most major search engines) can pull in a significant immediate steady stream of traffic to your listing on linkreferral.com and then on to your web site. Linkreferral forums traffic - By participating in our forums on a daily basis, you'll build relationships and your reputation within the linkreferral community and improve the odds of successfully converting visitors to your end goal. Promote your listing by asking questions and giving comments, each post you make actively displays your link, category and member profile.

Having issues with Internet Explorer?  Make sure your not running the 64-bit version and if so change it so the 32-bit is your default browser.

Check default settings 

There are other issues that could be causing this as well. Such as a pop-up blocker, flash or java corrupt or in need of updating, browser needs to be reset to default settings, add-ons disabled or compatibility issues.

Although there are many benefits to running IE 64 bit it doesn't always play well with others.

Benefits of 64-bit IE:
A: There are a few advantages to using the 64-bit version:
•Security: DEP/NX is always on for 64bit processes. (Of course, on Vista SP1+, 32bit IE8+ has DEP/NX enabled by default too.)
•Security: Memory protections like ASLR are more effective (because the address space is dramatically larger)
•Security: Most bad guys only bother to write x86 shellcode, which will fail in an x64 process
•It may crash less. (Because most add-ons don't load in 64bit IE, it tends to be more reliable.)
•It may be faster to start up. (Because most add-ons aren't loaded. You can disable add-ons in 32bit IE if you'd like)
