Try copying the Money 2000 installation CD to a folder on the hard
drive. If that succeeds, run Setup from that copy. If you are
unable to make the copy, I would buy a different CD drive'; they can
be pretty cheap. OK, what I would really do is to say it is time for
a new computer. I know you don't want to hear that, but if you did
you would be wondering why you did not do that sooner.

The Money 2004 Deluxe cannot use a Canadian Money file. You could
get Money 2004 Standard.

I have had a version of Microsoft office since 1994, the
most recent version being Money 2000. I utilize this
program every day to track my current and future financial
info. When the system crashed I reloaded Windows 98,
however, something must be wrong with my CD drive as it
kept stopping, at various lengths, and saying Void-Retry-
and something else in DOS (which I never did understand.
My financial information is still in my favorites, as I
save the info each day. When i try to open Money I receive
a message, as follows: "This applicationm can not identify
the end user identification....Please reinstall..." I am
on TDA in Canada and don't know how to enter my user #
without installing. However, if I try to reinstall Windows
again my CD Drive may die before it completes it's cycle.
I even downloaded Money 2004 for a 60 day trial as I will
be back to base in Florida in October, no problem there
everyone speak English. Can I run just a portio of the
Restore CD by typing something into RUN. HELP!!!Please
respond to my MSN email listed at the top of this page
instead of my Sympatico address that this might go out on.
It's listed on top but again it's dontheroux2[at]MSN.com.
