Win Modems and onboard graphics can cause this behavior. 128MB of RAM
is not sufficient to run W2K to its optimum.

Probably not much of one. Basically speaking, Money is slow. See

Is there a workaround that doesn't require me to increase the memory or
processor speed, or upgrade to WXP?

Could I just tune some system parameters to make MS Money friendlier?

Thanks,
Gerard

By most all accounts M05 is worse than M04. For a W2K machine running 12*
MB? Memory. But it won't solve everything, especially not the 700 MHz CPU.
