I would point out passwords can be broken, or accessed
by someone who is deteremined.

I would also suggest that you be aware of how
much Windows stores for the user. It may store
things like you usernames and passwords,
which makes the job for the theif even easier.

I would also point out alot of stuff is on that hard drive,
even if you deleted it.

Probably. I would search on the term "password recovery", and decide
if changing account passwords would be worthwhile.

I had XP Professional. (All accounts password protected.)
So I should be good, right?

Oooh. Good point. Change the passwords now.

I put my more sensitive files, including Money files onto an
encrypted PGPdisk on the laptop when traveling. Money accesses the
files fine.

If you download the trial, and create a new file with the same
passport you used to buy the downloaded version, do internet
updates, close Money, Open Money, you should have a non-trial
version installed. Write down the serial number plus any numbers you
received from the purchase on paper and keep the paper in a safe
place.

Then copy your file or backup to your My Documents folder on the new
computer. If the file came via a CDR, make sure it is not marked
Read-only. Then File-> Open or File-> Restore as appropriate. If it is
a backup file you have, during restore do not accept the "default"
location. Instead Browse to the location-- typically your My
Documents folder.

The software was downloaded. Therefore I have no CD.

Check it out - I went and bought 2006 on the money website.
THERE WAS NO DOWNLOAD!!!
I am currently on a support call... on hold.
Why would there be no download?...
Stupid.

Any suggestions?

I had a similar situation. The bottom line is not only did I havr to
get a new laptop I had to buy all new software because the
software companies all assumed the software was in use
on the laptop and declined to allow me to activate/register the
software.

So when it came to the software, I had the CDs but all they
were good for was to put cups on. I couldn't use them.
All insisted I had to buy new copies.

BTW, if you have sensitive information on there like
credit card numbers keep an eye on those accounts.

Also, have you checked your homeowner's insurance to see if there is
any coverage from that? I am not saying that I think that kind of
thing is covered. I am saying I don't know, but it might be worth
checking.

You could find the CD and install.

However Sams has 2006 Deluxe for $23.86 and no rebate.

Hi Cal,

No, I bought it separate. Same with the new laptop.
What do you suggest?

Thanks,
Ed

The laptop had Money on it when you bought it?

Will the new laptop have Money on it also?

Hello,

My laptop was stolen and I need to get the software again and rebuild - UGH!
But I can't get into talk to support without my product registration number!
But it's gone!

Anyone have any idea on how to get out of the catch 22?

Thank you,
Ed
