Original Equipment Manufacturer - OEM
Another way of saying Not Retail
In the case of software it means it was bundled with the PC.

I do not know if my M06 is behaving as you describe but if it is I do
not notice it. I have that box unchecked. Have small stock and
investments to watch lists. I run Mny when needed and stop it when
finished and unneeded.

Beware - most OEM support desks will tell you to contact MS and MS, very
correctly, will tell you to contact the hardware manufacturer. Unfortunately
the OEM desks usually haven't got a clue so you are out of luck! :-(

Thanks very much Bob. Although I can't find any solutions in the web
page you provided the information re the meaning of OEM is very
helpful. The program came with an HP computer which did have Works so
I might try contacting HP if I can't sort it out.

To answer the easy bit - OEM means that the software has been supplied by
the PC manufacturer. They have bought it from Microsoft for peanuts and as
part of the deal they undertake to provide support not Microsoft. The logic
is that as MS don't support the software they can afford to sell cheaply.

Your serial number indicates that it is probably part of the Works package
(see http://money.mvps.org/faq/article/92.aspx)

As far as I know you have done everything to stop downloads but there may be
a gem hidden in http://money.mvps.org/faq/default.aspx

My version of Money is Microsoft Money Delux OEM Edition,
14.0.100.1105, purchased in New Zealand. I'm not sure what the OEM
stands for but in case it's a UK version I've also posted this on the
UK Money news group. I've just upgraded to this version from Money
2004. The problem is that Money updates stock quote prices every few
minutes and I can't
stop it. I've gone to Tools> Settings> Investment settings> Portfolio
Manager and unchecked "Update price information every _minutes" but it
still keeps downloading updates. I also tried setting the updates to
long intervals (200 minutes) but this doesn't stop more frequent
updates. I'd really appreciate some help on this.
