Thanks for the suggestion. I got it figured though. Apparently installing
Microsoft's AntiSpyware Beta, (which I did) puts something called
"gcasDtServHolder" on the startup menu and alters 3 files in the
Windows\System32 folder: CONFIG.NT, AUTOEXEC.NT, and the MS Dos Application
command. This effectively prevents installing any DOS-based program into XP.
To fix, I downloaded the files and copied into the Windows\System32 folder,
and Money 2000 is now installed and working beautifully on my system.
Thanks to everyone who replied to my query. Hopefully, this will be of help
to others.


**One person claimed to have this problem also after installing the NVIDIA
GeForce4 MX440 with AGP8X video card, which I also have. However, the
majority of people with this error message discovered it to be from the
Microsoft AntiSpyware program.

Thanks for the response. I am the Administrator on my PC, and have fre reign
over what to install.

I tried again to install Money 2000 Deluxe on My XP Pro (actually MCE 2004,
which is based on XP Pro) so I could give you the precise error message and
actually encountered something entirely different this time! I tried to run
the setup.exe file, as it would not Autorun from the disk.
The message window had

'16 bit Windows Subsystem'

at the top, and then the body reads

'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32|AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for
running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to
terminate the application.'
My options were then to choose Close or Ignore, with both options resulting
in the application shutting down.

I attempted the install a few times, with the same message each attempt. I
really hope I can figure this out, as I love my version of Money, and as a
Canadian, can not get a Deluxe version of a newer release.

Sorry for the novel! Hope somebody can help.

Start-> Settings-> ControlPanel-> UserAccounts will show for each
account if the account is a "Computer Administrator" or a "Limited
Account". Guest is another possibility, but that is unlikely to be
the account you are trying to install and run from.

When posting an error message, it is good to post the precise

I am not sure, but I think so.

Try installing but have Money not try to convert your old file.
Instead have Money create a new file called temp.mny.

I have the same question..except I have the Deluxe (Canadian) version of
Money 2000. I have tried to install it on my XP MCE 2004 system, with
administrator privileges, to no avail. Any suggestions? Someone said it can
be done under the Administrator account. How do I go about doing this? I
believe the message I get is " this version of Money is not supported", or
something like that.

"move" as in copy some files like msmoney.exe? No. You will need to install
it using the Money installer.

Does this mean I can move Money 2000 version 8.0 from my 98 based PC to my XP
based PC and it will run ok? Thanks.

Yes, but it has to be an Administrator account.

Is Money 2000 Standard Ed. compatible with Windows XP professional?
Thanks.
