Hi !

I've tested it on my side, and the work-arround to allow Money to get the update was to run it as Administrator (right clic on the icon and select the appropriate option).

Now, what still doesn't work is that I cannot import OFX files from my bank website. It gets Money crash each time !

Well, however, I will get back to XP or 2000, since Vista RC1 is too slow and doesn't give anything really interesting except a new look. If you want a 3D desktop that works, try out Mandriva 2007 with 3D enabled, you'll be sticked !

Regards,

Manuch

John always has to be the first to announce whenever things get released, launched, become available.

Dear John,

I am having the same problem but in WindowsXP SP2. My motherboard burned and I had to reinstall WindowsXP and then Money 2005. However after the reinstall when I try to reopen my original money file it will start compacting and after a while it will fall over. I tried to go to the KB you provided but it is no longer available. Any suggestions on how can I fix this in XP and do you have copy of the KB article?

Thank you in advance,

momchil

Andrew - not sure why that article is no longer available. The steps used to say:

1. Start Money 2005.

2. When you receive the error message that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section, click OK.

3. On the "About upgrading your Money file" screen, click File, click New, and then click New File.

4. In the Save in box, click a location for your new Money 2005 data file, type a new name for the file in the File name box, and then click OK.

5. On the "Thank you for using Microsoft Money 2005" screen, click Next.

6. On the "Help protect your online privacy and security" screen, click Decline.

7. Click Yes to continue without using a Microsoft .NET Passport.

8. Click to select the I don't want to use a password for my Money file check box, and then click Next.

9. On the "Add your accounts" page, click Next. If you use Microsoft Money 2005 Small Business, click Skip on the "Tell Money about your business" screen.

Note If you receive a message that states to update Money 2005, click Yes, follow the prompts to install the update, and then go to step 13.

10. On the "Choose an account type" screen, click Cancel.

11. Click Finish.

12. On the Money 2005 home page, click Yes to install the Money 2005 update, and then follow the prompts that appear on the screen to install the update.

Note If you do not receive these prompts, or if you only see a blank page, there is likely something blocking access to the download site--for example, firewall software. You may have to allow for access to the Microsoft Downloads center.

13. To restart Money 2005, click OK.

14. Click File, and then click Open.

15. Locate your original Money 2005 data file, and then click Open. If you are prompted to back up the data file, click Don't Back Up.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

John.

John - I'm not sure why that KB has been pulled (bearing in mind this post is over 2 years old too now). Closest I can find is http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320193.

Thanks,

John.
