Question

My desktop version won't open for me because it needs internet explorer and apparently IE doesn't exist anymore.  I can't even access my back up files on my thumb drive. I have like 2 more weeks of 2024 information to input to finish out the year.  Any ideas?  I've tried everything I know and nothing works.

Thank you for your suggestions, we tried all the scenarios but I still can't get in.  I keep getting the same box saying that I need to turn on Internet Explorer for the program to run, but Microsoft got rid of it.

I have QB Pro 2015.  I know it's old, I was just using it for data input, nothing online.
