I wouldn't have called system files "deeply hidden". I can understand, why
as a general rule, MS hide OS type files - it's in order to protect naive
users from themselves!!

I can answer this. In the folder options in Windows you must uncheck
the "Hide protected operating system files (Recommmended)". This then
allows the deeply hidden M05 files to appear and be accessible. Why
hide them like that?? There is a perverse programmer in Seattle who
knows.

Actually I meant the Event Log. Under W2K do this:

Start-> Settings-> Control Panel-> Administrative Tools-> Event Viewer


There should be several folders in the left pane. Check them all at the
date/time that your problem occured. Best thing to do is repeat the problem,
then go directly into the Event Viewer and see what the latest errors are.

I don't know what you mean by the location of the Money files. I'm not
familiar where Money places files upon install, but it should place your
Money datafile under the My Documents directory by default. If your file is
somewhere else, try opening Money then before logging in goto File-> Open to
open your money file.

One more thing....I loaded Money on another computer (to test only) and
copied over the files and had the same results. Machine is similar in specs
to this but very bare as far as software (still Win2K, latest patches etc).
So it sounds like the problem is in the file for sure....

It says

No broken records in the original file.

Thanks in advance

The version should be the latest. I opened a new file (it runs fine with new
file) and found this version number
14.0.125.1105

I am running Win2K with all latest patches that are pushed, 10G free disk
space, 384M Ram, Pent III 933Mhz Compaq. Everything else runs fine on this
computer and there are alot of applications on it. No spyware on it.

I am logined into my station as administrator

I use all the online services that come with Money.

I am not sure where the Event Log is. I checked the help system and this
website for event log. Can you tell me where that is?

BTW I guess it is supposed to be like this, but most of the Money files are
in super-hidden folders on my computer that even turning on hidden files does
not reveal. I figured this out by tracing the properties of the icon, and
then tyoing the folder name in, Is this normal?

Couple things:

1. Check you Event Log to see if any errors are being recorded in there.
2. What version are you running? Check under Help-> About if it can stay
open long enough.
3. What operating system are you running?

16MB is not that large. Mine is over 40MB.

Hello all,

Faithful liscensed user of Money 2005 Premium (and 2004, 2003 and 2002). I
really like the program, but in the last few days have been having this
problem.

When I open my money file, it appears to open, and then it closes right
away. I can see my data for like a second, then money shutsdown. No error
message.

I have run the salvage utility (both levels). I end up restoring from my
autobackup and I can work for a while, but then it starts up again with the
same action described above.

My money file is about 16MB (I am not sure if that is too big?). I use
passport login and the let Money update all my info on msn.

Any advice? Anything to check? Thanks in advance
