I am experiencing the exact problem. I have repaired the money file, have
uninstalled, and reinstalled money 2005 and nothing has worked. I have been a
Money user since 1999 and but Money 2005 is the worst. I am going back to
Quicken. It cost a bit more but worth the frustration that it will save you.

I'm using Windows XP, and four months ago purchased Money 2005. Problem:
Money freezes almost immediately after signin, and then will complete an
exit. This problem has progressed to the point where I am no longer able to
access the program. If I attempt to bring it up, it will not show on screen,
a box becomes visible stating that "Money is already running in the
background". The many suggestion made by Money technical support personnel
proved fruitless, and include: uninstall/reinstall, checking the Sample file,
reloading, checking the mny files and backup files. Nothing has worked. As
can be imagine, I am in the nerve racking position of not being able to
access much needed and important financial data/information. Help and
suggestions greatly appreciated.
