Mine didn't crash but I did have an issue with my password not working.
To fix it I would goto the passport webpage login and leave that
window open then launch Money. After a few times of doing this
everything seemed to work normal i no longer need to "pre-loggin"

Review your backup situation. Since you are using Money 2006, your
backup situation is probably good. You probably will want to
File-> Restore a backup.

You can restore to the "default" location, or you can pick a new
name.

same problem here... Restore a PC.. installed money 2006 tried to open my
money file and I get a message saying that money didn't close the file it
needs to verify, asks for my password and then comes back and says that it is
wrong. I can't open my file! Anybody?

An odd yet related thing. If I tell it to work offline and use the new
Passport password, it says it's wrong. If I tell it to work offline
and use the OLD Passport password, I'm prompted to let the program
verify the contents of the file. When I say yes, it tries and then
fails, telling my the password is incorrect.

I have used MS Money products for a decade now, and have occassionly
run into problems that I was able to fix on my own. But this one has
got my stumped.

Launched MS Money 2006, entered my Passport password it started to open
then the program crashed. When I try to reopen, I'm prompted for my
password, it says that I didn't close the file last time and that it
needs to verify the contents, I click yes, I starts and then stops
saying my password is incorrect.

To troubleshoot, I open a test Money file w/ the same Passport,
everything works fine. I changed my Passport password, and I get the
exact same error described above with the new password. However, if I
start fresh and put in the wrong password, I'm not told about needing
to verify the contents. Instead, I'm told my password is incorrect.

So it appears that in the process of verifying my file, MS Money itself
is corrupting what I typed in as the Passport password. I have
uninstalled and reinstalled MS Money 2006, and the same thing is still
happening. I have tried the command line switch -s, and the scenario
is the second paragraph is repeated.

I have downloaded the super salvage utility, which is prompting me for
a password. I'm not sure how it is able to validate a Passport
password, but it won't recognize either the old one or the new one.

My last backup was Feb. 12, and I just spent a lot of time cleaning up
registers and updating my bill calendar. Anyone with any suggestions
would be appreciated.
