Well atlast my problem got fixed.

Here's how.
When I installed XP OS back on my computer, the sound card had quit
working.
I was more focussed on getting money to work so ignored it.

Well I went to tools-> configuration and unchecked Play Sounds option
and tested my installation.
MsMoney worked without a problem.

Still unclear as to why a bad soundcard would affect ms money
operation. Atleast a message box to this effect would have been
helpful.

Anyway hope this helps any future or current victims of this.

Hi Steve,

I recently reinstalled my MS Money 2003 after losing my harddrive.

I have been using this version for so many years on this computer without
any problems.

I have the same symptoms as many others have discussed.
System locks up after entering a transaction - only way out is task manager
kill.

Could you please send the exact sequence to fix this problem.

Thanks

Cheers Steve,
It's all starting to make sense now - what a pity the File Repair function
doesn't pick this up.

Hi
I'm running Money 2005 Standard having upgraded from an earlier version
after a hard drive crash a few months ago, I had no problems until the other
day. The operating system is XP Pro SP2.
My Money problem occurred when I attempted to use the Bills & Deposits
module - each time I tried to record a transaction the system would lock up.
Having read the earlier posts here and tried all the suggested remedies
(Restoring XP to an earlier date, resetting the system date, uninstalling &
reinstalling Money etc. etc.; I also found similar difficulties with reports
to those posted here.) I was beginning to despair.
Then I got lucky, while perusing the Bills Summary page I noticed an entry
for a no longer used payee, there were no Next Due, Account, Frequency etc.
entries against it and I have no idea how it came to be there. Anyway, long
story short, I deleted it (with fingers crossed) and the problem appears to
have been completely resolved.
So, if anyone suffers the lock up problem, take a hard look at the Bills
Summary for rogue entries.
I hope this is of help to any future victims.

Thank you for this information I will be sure to pass this on to people.
Another reason the bills summary and reports can lock up is if the bill was
removed from the bill summary but stayed in bill calander screen if you ever
have problems with "rogue" bills showing on your home page and on some
reports without them being in the summary chances are there in the calander.

I am running Money 2005 deluxe. The file I am using was created with Money
99, upgrade to Money 2002 and then upgraded to Money 2005.

The program locks up constantly. When I checked the payee file, each payee
had been replicated 12 times. Is there a quick way to eliminate these
erroneus entries??

Is the problem Money 2005 and would my problems go away upgrading to 2006.

In the meantime, I have reviewed this thread and will be trying some of the
suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

You might create a new XP user, and try opening Money as that user.
Does that work for you?

I am still having no luck, the sample money locks up too. Running out of
options. Any more ideas?

Reboot. Open Sample.mny in the same folder as the Money 2005
install. Does it open? Do an Internet update by clicking on the
circle with the two arrows in the upper right. Click UpdateNow at
the bottom.

Success? Now File-> Open your actual file.

I have tried to install Money in a new program, but it still locks up, what
should I do now. Nothing seems to be working

Hi Cal Learner,

I reinstalled Money in a different directory, and I can now open the
sample.mny. However, I still have the same problems when I open the Money
2005. I am able to log on, the page loads, and then Money freezes. Task
Manager shows two files not responding: My Money-Microsoft Money (with the
logo), and My Money-Microsoft Money (with out the logo).

I was running Money 2003 Deluxe and Business, and upgraded to Money 2005
Small Business.

Any suggestions?

If using XP Pro, or XP Home if you saved a restore point recently,
you could do a System Restore.

That is actually good news, I think.

Keep an extra copy of your *.mny file, tho that should not actually
be needed. Copy it onto a USB flash drive perhaps. Just in case.

Uninstall Money. Then reinstall Money into a *different* folder.
You can specify where to reinstall to, such as
"C:\Program Files\Money2004".

Let Money create a new empty file if it wants. Do an internet update
of Money. Then File-> Open your real file.

I am having the same problem. I have tried both methods mentioned and still
get the same results: Money starts but stops responding and my cpu
skyrockets. The Money program worked fine until tonight. I have recently
installed a Pocket PC w/activesync that had Pocket PC Money 2004 on it. So, I
removed it from my PC and the Pocket Pc, and reinstalled Money 2005==no luck.

I just started having the same problem. Money 2005 was working fine, and now
I am having the same problem as mattmtv. I have uninstalled and reinstalled
2005--2x. I have also tried to open 2005 by way of accessing the sample.mny
file--same thing; the program opens and then my cpu skyrockets and money
stops responding. I have opened the task manager, and two files are running:
the money 2005, and money exe file.

I had recently added a Pocket PC with activesync that had money 2004 pocket
on it. I uninstalled 2004 from both and reinstalled 2005==same thing.

I have tried the sample money and it locked up as well. What should I do
now. This is strange because i have used it before with no problems, just
started happening recently

Try opening Money by double-clicking on the sample.mny in your Money
install folder. If that works, suspect a problem with your Money
file rather than the installation. Read about salv.exe.

If that does not work, try uninstalling and then reinstalling into a
different folder.

Whenever I try and open Money, nothing happens, everytime I have to close the
program because it is not responding, I have tried reinstalling, but nothing
works. Advice would be helpful.

Thanks
