Remove the password on your Quicken file, if any. Then do Validate
in Quicken. I think that is File-> Validate.

Rick Hess posted that in Quicken you can select File-> Copy, and let
it make a copy of your file. This routine will, among other
things, defragment your file. Then convert the copy.

Change all custom types to standard Quicken types. Any custom type
will be converted to type Mutual Fund by Money.
US Money types 2006: Bond, CD or U.S. Savings Bond, Employee Stock
Option, Index, Money Market, Mutual Fund, Other, Stock

Consider having a minimum of other things running when you do
the conversion in Money.
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;310560
describes Clean boot etc.

If the above are not successful, consider Super-Validate in
Quicken. Hold Ctrl+Shift keys down during the Validate process.
However http://www.intuit.com/support/quicke.../win/6148.html
warns of unneeded super-validate.

I've bascially done the same thing as you and I get the same non-descript
error message "Your Quicken file could not be converted." I can't continute
trialing if I can't convert my data. Also, I noticed that trial users can't
get any support.

I have downloaded the Money 2006 Deluxe Trial Version. In order to try it
out, I am attempting to convert my files from Quicken 2005 (specifically
Quicken 2005 Premier Release R 5). I ran the Validate operation in Quicken
and closed the program. Then I copied the data files into a new directory. I
started the Money Trial and started the Converter Wizard. After a few
minutes, it returns the message: "Your Quicken file could not be converted."

Is there any way this can be corrected so that I can try out the program.
Otherwise, I guess that I will have to stay with Quicken.
