It's a faint possible that Money has opened off screen. If this is the case,
I am sure there is a registry key which specifies it. However, no Money on
this machine so I can't check. So I would uninstall Money and remove the
contents of the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Money\14.0 registry key (perhaps
also the HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Money\14.0 registry key also) and try
again. This should default the window to open on screen - it's a bit of a
long shot, I do admit...

I have decided to do a re-trial of MS Money, I did d/l and try it very
briefly last Oct.-Dec., but I do not remember if it was 2004 or 2005. The
download and install(s), yes I have done this a couple of times today, have
all gone well. However when I start it the HD is accessed and the cursor
shows busy, but after a period of time all activity ceases and I am still
looking at my desktop. The task manager shows msmoney.exe is running, but
there is no Money window/interface open.

As I have alluded to I have installed/reinstalled a couple of times, and
there was a re-download in there as well - just in case. Prior to my last
install I even cleaned the registry with jv16 PowerTools 2005 of all
references to MS Money but this did not help.

Could this behavior be a result of my having previously installed a trial
version? I am at a loss and welcome all suggestions.

TIA for your help/time/suggestions.
