"DietRite" if you're still out there - what version of Quicken did you
like?
I tried a few of them and I didn't like the look and feel. Friends
family agreed. Over time we all ended up with Money. In Quicken my
biggest complaint was that everything "opened in a new window" rather
than the back/forth moving in Money. If I opened my checking account in
Quicken it was a window - my brokerage opened in another window (over
the first so I didn't realize it until I noticed at bottom of screen all
the windows I had opened) . It's been a few years now but I think that I
had to keep going to the main menu. I do remember when I went to close
that one session I must have had 15-20 windows open.

Uninstalling is, in theory, possible but I am always wary of the debris that
gets left behind in the registry. Also MS do issue very strong warnings when
you join any beta to the effect that "don't use on a live system; results
are unpredictable and be prepared to reformat and reinstall the O/S"

Thanks. I already uninstalled IE7 Beta 2 which automatically reinstalls
IE6, and I have no problems with downloading stuff now. So I'm sticking with
Money 2006 (or I'm switching to Quicken, which I actually think I prefer for
it's relative simplicity).

Thanks to all.

I assume you mean that uninstalling it is impossible. Unlike normal
operating systems, Windouch and IE are joined at the spinal cord.

A little OT, but on a recent shopping mall trip I happened upon an
AAPL retail store and it was one of the most crowded shops of its
size.

IE7 isn't even on general release - it is still beta. Which says be prepared
for all sorts of weird happenings and be prepared to reformat your hard disk
and start over! :-(

I use IE as little as possible. Do you have a must have reason for
IE7?

There are lots of limitations. No scheduled items, loan accounts, payee

Can I fall back to 2004 through the QIF export? Loose would be best, yes,
cause it carries all memos etc?

and if you don't need it and are looking for a reason to NOT try IE7,
try the
microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general newsgroup - you'll see lots of
reasons to NOT use it.
Maybe wait for IE7 sp1,sp2 ...

Before installing M2005,2006 , did you make a copy of your previous
version's .mny file ?
The new Money app does make a backup copy , but do you have same PC ? Or
is 2004 datafile long gone ?
Could you reload M2004 and open the data file from M2004 or do only have
the latest data file ( which gets munged each year)?

2004 would be my choice. IE7 has bad karma with lots of stuff at Fidelity in
my experience.

It definitely could be the IE7 beta. It is known to not work
properly with Money.

Is there a consensus as to which of the recent version of Money is the least
screwed up? I've upgraded every year, including this year to Money 2006,
but I'm not a happy camper. In particular, the automatic download and so on
from Fidelity isn't working any longer (could it be because I replace IE6
with the Beta version of IE7?), and the process for downloading stuff from
the local back is kind of backwards.

I was thinking of dropping back to one of the previous versions of Money but
I'm not sure which one should be the target year? I have original disks for
2004 and 2005, and maybe, deep in the archives, previous versions.

So, if I'm interested in having the least trouble with Money, which of the
versions should I be using?

Or should I try, once again, to switch back to Quicken?

Thanks for the advice--
