Because you purchase on line vs getting the CD, you will need to
open a file with the same Passport that you used when you bought
Money 2006 until the upgrade takes. Then you could remove the
Passport, or create a new file without a Passport.

When you create a new file, the trick to not have a Passport on the
file initially is to select Decline.

"This problem"? I assume that you are implying there must have been
an inordinate amount of time that passed without things getting
downloaded.

In IE6, start with
Tools-> Options-> Security-> LocalIntranet-> DefaultLevel which may be
sufficient.

If that does not let you updated, and if you are using XP, I would
try creating a new user with Administrator privilege. Switch to
that user and start Money with a new blank file. Let Money
download the updates as that user.

The theory is that if the problem is an IE6 setting, you will get
default settings for the new user. If you succeed this way, it
would accomplish the download, and it would point toward the reason
the other did not work. You can delete the new user later, and
your regular IE6 settings will not have been changed.

Hi. I just purchased and downloaded Money 2006. Two problems
have occurred. 1) Money 2006 won't allow me to work offline, tells
me that the Microsoft Passport .... cannot be blank. 2) When I
open an account it tells me Thank you for purchasing Money...
Money program files will be downloaded...
I think this occurred 'cause I rebooted before running Money after
the installation?

Any help will be appreciated.
