A few more comments:
I installed 2006 over an earlier version, 2003, without uninstalling Money
first.
Don't know if this might be related, but I noticed the old directory with
all sorts of files still there..wondering if Registry might have conflicting
entries for file types and this might be causing the problem.
When I try to import an .ocx file the program hangs for those 20 minutes or
so when it asks me if there is an existing account (which there is) or this
is a new account.

I recently installed Money 2006 on an IBM Aptiva 2163 running Windows 98 SE.
I have had problems with pull-down windows from day 1.
Not all - for example, within an account register I can pull down the window
for "debit" and "next check number", but many other windows will not open to
allow me to select an option for 20 minutes or more.
I see the "not responding" when I open the Task Manager, but eventually, 20
minutes or so, the pull-down window will open. Each additional click on a
pull-down menu, except for those which are not a problem, results again in a
20 minute delay.
I also tried updating my accounts within MSN Money. The message said this
could take anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes. I have a cable connection
so it should have been fast, but again this update took a very long time
before I cancelled it.
Any ideas, I'm out of them.
I have done quick and standard repairs, reinstalled Money 2006, all to no
avail.
Is this a Windows 98 SE problem?
