You might go to the Portfolio Manager and turn off quote and dividend
updates.

From the portfolio manager, click "change portfolio settings" in the left
pane. Then uncheck update prices.

I'm not sure if this will make a difference, but one user reported a
dramatic improvement.

I have been using Money for 11 years now, and it was nice and fast until
Money 2002. Now when I click on ANYTHING it takes 2-5 minutes to respond.
What is the story? I agree that this is a major problem that will chase
away long term users because I am considering it myself.

has anyone heard any answers to the slowness of M06? The slowness seems to
be random, but pervasive. I am getting into the habit of starting something,
then walking away from my PC in order for simple actions to finish. This
morning I downloaded a credit card statement, then left for work because I
know it would not finish (there was one new transaction in the download).
Right now Im waiting for my stock quotes and checking account to update.

I have a very big money file: 63MB, but like other posts I should be able to
keep a transaction histories and still be able to do simple functions.

Is there a fix or patch on the way for this problem?

At this point, I have no choice but to look at other packages, but dread the
prospect of struggling through a file conversion that will be a mess. I
started using money in 98 or 99. I have been happy with the product and
recommended it to people.

so sad.....

I upgraded from Money 2004 to the trial edition about a week ago. 2006 is not noticably
faster or slower than 2004. Occasionally the home page takes 6 or 7 seconds to
refresh, but 2004 did that too. I'm running on an Athlon 2500+ with 1 GB RAM.

John,

Thanks. FYI, I am using a Pentium 4, 2.6GHz w/800 MHz / HT Technology
processor now with 1024MB DDR SDRAM. It screams on every other software
program I use.

Going to throw 2006 at a bleeding edge dual core P4 with tons of fast

With every new version, I think maybe it's time to upgrade from 2003, but
each time I keep hearing bad reports about the new one and decide to stick
with the devil I know.

Mikey, what is the size of your M2006 file? Mine is over 30MB. It just
seems to me that a financial tool ought to be able to keep several years
worth of data especially when it needs this data to provide many of its
benefits. I am spending minutes waiting for a Bills/Deposit transaction to
update!! ARGHHH!!!!!

Is anyone experiencing a time with M2006 as it relates to speed in changing
from windows, especially in any window with a calculation such as Budget. I
have been a longtime user of Money but it is getting frustratingly more
difficult to use this product each year. Microsoft needs to consider this a
Killer Bug that will cause long-term customers to leave. No one wants to
archive off data to try and pick up speed. My computer is new with lots of
horsepower and memory so that is not the issue. I NEED HELP!!
