That is what I can't figure out. If it is a registry issue, it must've store
somewhere in the registry I can't find.

I did a full search of the registry for the word "Money, MNY, and SURFPLACE"
and delete all of those without any success.

Nope. I disable system restore to save space and lessen the resources it use
in background mode.

Go to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Inte rnet Explorer\Restrictions\

Delete the registry key "AlwaysPromptWhenDownload"

Apparently that was added by one of the IE patch!!! ARGH!!!

Never mind. I see, looking back, that you had already tried that.

That's major progress.

I would start with
Tools-> Options-> Security-> LocalIntranet-> DefaultLevel in IE6.

Can you edit security rights on the file to allow all users, then move to
shared documents? If successful, then copy to problem user account.

Perhaps the problem user has a problem with the application directory or
registry structure, not with the data directory or file?

Well, I went ahead and created a new local user and it solved the problem.
Now trying to figure out why that solved the problem and being able to bring
it back to the original user profile is the question...

Have you considered doing a "System Restore" back 3 weeks?

You can't create a local user? (I.e., mymachine\myuser not
thebigdomaininthesky\theiruser. There may be a GPO that can preclude this.
Can't say. Such a policy is not enforced in our environment.)

Of course, corporate machines tend to have all kinds of goofy things
installed and setup on them. Ours do, anyway. I'd bet you'd have zero
problems on an XP Gold+SP2 machine. But I'd not be at all shocked if I had
problems running Money in our corporate environment. With the crap "they" do
to my machine, it's a wonder the thing works at all.

Yup...I did contact their support. They suggest I remove zone alarm or create
a new XP user profile. It is not zone alarm i could confirm that, I've tried
to remove it.

I have administrative access to this laptop, so security isn't a problem.
I've been working on this laptop with it fine for the past year. The problem
just recently came up in the past couple of weeks.

I am able to uninstall, reinstall, mess with registry, and whatever thing on
this laptop w/o anyproblem. Just I can't create a new user as it needs to
authenicate against the corporate domain and LDAP.

Their support also suggested i've tried this method.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/895866/en-us

Which didn't work as well. I've tried clean boot, same problem.

They suggest i do a safeboot w/networking, same problem.

"Clean boot install of XP"? I am skeptical. Are you sure that that
suggestion was not for a "clean boot" before installing Money?

How do you install Money on that computer then? Your computer people
might cooperate. Of course it could also be that they don't want
Money on their machine.

If there is some kind of permissions thing, I don't know how you can
resolve it.

Did you discuss your problem with them with them? Even so, I could
imagine that they would not be surprised there might be a problem
debugging on a machine that you don't have administrative control.

Bummer.....

What I can't figured if it was a recently security patch released by MS or
what. I've found a corrupt reg key, deleted that but it didn't solve the
problem.

In registry, did all search on Surfboard, Surfplace, Money, MNY...deleted
them all manually. That didn't solve the problem.

Someone post they contact MS Support and the suggestion was

1) Do a clean boot install of XP
- They are CRAZY to even suggest that. Do a clean boot install of XP just
to fix a MS Money issue?!

2) Create a new XP user profile
- A really difficult thing to do when you have no control on user profile
since the laptop belong to a corporate domain.

There got to be a solution to this......I can't believe MS Support people
themselves hasn't escalate this up.

Yes, I've tried the internet option > local setting as well. I've tried all

I've even tried to uninstall MS Money 2005, remove the hidden directory of
MNYCoreFiles, remove all registry entry of MNY. No luck.

I've tried to set all of the security setting to lowest possible, no luck.
I've tried adding MONEY://[at]sur.mar[at]/ to the setting, same issue.

I don't want to go the route of creating a new WindowsXP profile, as I've
seen it resolve the problem for some people in these threads.

Thanks,

What application is doing the popup? Task Manager may help identify

You could try in IE6,

Nope, the only thing i am running is adaware, but it is adhoc and not memory

I've been using money for the past 4 years and have no problem with it. For
some crazy reason, in the past week my MS Money 2005 start having all of
these popup asking me to open or save on any link I've clicked on.

Name: MNYxx.surfplace
Type: Surfboard Shim Doc Object
From: surf.mar[at]

I've searched all of googles and googles newsgroup for info on it. Tried
whatever I've came across w/o success. So I thought it was a MS Money 2005
version problem. Went out to buy MS Money 2006. SAME PROBLEM!

Anyone has a solution to this, other than creating a new UID/Profile in
WinXP? This laptop is on a network domain and I dont have control over
creating new UID/Profile in WinXP Pro.
