Have her check that her version is 14.0.*.1105.

Assuming it is, have her do File-> Restore.
Instead of taking the default location, She should browse into the
"My Documents" folder and select a new name for the file.

My sister has installed Money 2005 on a new computer from her original cd.
She made a backup on a cd from her old computer. We have tried every
suggestion I found in this newsgroup or on the website,but whenever we try to
restore this file on the new computer she gets the message of invalid path
name. I downloaded Money 2006 to see if I could duplicate the error and could
not. Perhaps this is because it is not 2005. Since she is in Georgia and I am
in Kentucky, I can't see her computer. She does not go on the Internet so I
can't ask her to upgrade her version. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Should she try coping her files on her old computer rather than backing it up?
