What a joke. The MSN sites lists the problem was resolved on May 1st. Last
night it still wasn't working. Finally today it is. It's pretty sad that it
took nearly 10 tens to correct this problem. Next time I will purchase the
CD or better yet move to Quicken.

Hi Jim,

Would you mind testing the download now and see if you are successful?

First, there is a temporary problem. The first status item at
http://moneycentral.msn.com/common/networkstatus.asp discusses it.
So Wednesday evening try this:

When Money uses a file with the same Passport that you used when you
bought Money, it will download the appropriate things and adjust
the version that you see in Help-> About....

See http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;889930
and follow it if you want your Money file to use the same Passport
on your Money file that you used when you bought Money.

If you want something other than to do that, do something slightly
different. Create a NEW empty file (named perhaps Temp.mny) that
you put the referenced Passport onto. Let Money download data that
it needs. Close Money. Restart Money.

Confirm that Money shows the right version. Then click on your
real Money file that is shown on the bottom of the File menu.

Read More, Post Less. This has been much discussed of late. They are broken
and will fix it Real Soon Now.

And advice for next time: just buy the CD and skip all of this mickey mouse.

I hope someone out there can help me. I lost my disk drive and had to
reintall all my software. After I was back up I was able to restore my
documents and settings. I then downloaded Money 2006 from the site Microsfot
told me to. I have followed the directions found on
microsoft.com/money/special/moneyspecialpages_launcg2006_thakyou.mspx step B.

When I restore my backup money file, the next time I access money I get a
message that I am using a 90 trial. I have no disk as I purchased the
software on line from microsoft and downloaded.

Can someone please help. Thanks
