Same basic feature set (for my purposes anyway) but M2005 is WAY faster than
any prior version. As I have been using Money for such a long time, my file
size is large and prior versions were brutally slow, even on a very fast
machine. With M2005, I no longer have that complaint.

Hi JML.

What do you like about 2005 over previous revisions such as 2004?

Sure would love for this to get fixed. Other than this (very signficant)
problem, I am really liking M2005 and I've been a Money user since the early
90's.

I don't know for sure, but I think this is an OS thing. Update at Startup
worked just fine for me until I upgraded to WinXP SP2. I have also noticed
that some features and settings in Money are not saving to the registry.
For example, the "Hide Update Progress Window" option checkbox in the update
progress window. I would check it, and all would be fine... but then when I
opened Money up the next day, it would be unchecked. I found a way around
this through editing the system registry directly. I set the options myself
in the registry and all works fine. It would just be a matter of finding
where this setting is saved in the registry and I am sure it could be fixed.

Default Re: Money 2005: Auto-update accounts online upon startup

I discovered this false-feature in trying to overcome the removal of Money
Express from the product. I put a shortcut to Money 2005 in my Startup
folder. Not that I actually want the whole app running all the time, but I
need to be lured into the app regularly to stay on top of things.

Anyway, when it launches on bootup, I still have to click on "Next" or "Sign
In", then I have to wait for it to load, then I have to click through the
process of forcing the Internet update. Then I have to navigate back to my
Home or overview screen. It all adds up to a daily chore--especially
compared to the old Money Express.

Any other suggestions for dealing with the loss of Money Express?

Thanks,
Lee

This is just one of many things about M05 that is just plain broken.

Default Money 2005: Auto-update accounts online upon startup

Thanks in advance for any assistance. In Tools | Settings | Online
Services, I have checked the checkbox to "Automatically update accounts
online when I start Money" but it does not do it.

In Help, under "About automatic online updates", it says to:
1. Save your bank sign-in information in Money.
2. Sign in to Money with a Microsoft .NET Passport.

I have already done both a long time ago. Internet updates work when I
force the update, but that is not "automatic".

Software should make my life easier,
Lee
