So on the original screen that was blanked out this morning, I noticed 
at the bottom there was a link that indicated one could sign in on an 
alternative ID.  So when I did that, I was in fact able to specify my 
current QUICKEN ID/PASSWORD combination, and it worked fine!

Thanks for your two help; I was probably in semi-panic mode yesterday 
when I was thinking I'd be unable to open these old files.
