Better still don't mess around with backup but copy the .mny file from your
old PC to the new one if you can (memory stick or CD) and simply double
click on the filename in the new PC.

Try closing Money. Then in Windows Explorer, double-click the *.mbf
file to start the restore process.

I recommend you not take the default location for the file, but
rather Browse to the place to restore the file to.

Does anyone know why my money software locks up when I
try to restore from money 2001 into money 2004? I bought
a Dell with 2004 deluxe on it and I can't get my old data
which was 2001 to restore. Please help.
