Default Re: How do I stop the buy Money 2007 sales pitch in Money 2006

After many occurrences of this double pop up, I tried that Cal
suggestion and clicked "order". Since only choices were dismiss and
remind later, both of which did just that the next time I logged in.
Once I got the order screen up in my default browser (which is not IE) I
exited the browser, clicked dismiss on both pop ups and have never seen
any additional popups.

Perhaps you could work around it
by clicking into the pop-up ad-- as much as it seems objectionable
to ever click into a pop-up ad. Then say no thereafter.

Hi Kent,

I upgraded and have not regretted it. Some things I noticed:

1) Shutdown is faster and there are no hangs. Watching it through the task
manager, it terminates fairly quickly after leaving Money.

2) Online updates appear faster - it used to be that right after initiating
updates, Money would churn for a while before actually initiating any
network connections. Same for sending an Epay. Not too long, mind you, but
just enough to be annoying. It now almost immediately sends the data out.

3) I have not seen some anomolies I had with M06... the biggest anoyance
was that once a week or so, transactions would only match in the future, all
past transactions would not be available to match. I would run a quick
repair and it would fix it, but it was annoying.

4) Investment accounts that don't have real transactions but just change
value because of changes in share prices will no longer show up as having
change. It was annoying to always be told that there were new transactions
when there weren't any.

5) Tax estimator appears to be the most accurate from past years - not sure
why but for me that is true.

6) No serious bugs so far - the only new bug I know of is that loan payments
entered into the register manually from the Bills Summary page have a
problem with the Account field. That doesn't affect me, however, because my
loan payments are online payments which don't have this problem. I've done
bill payments, online updates, etc. for about a week now with no apparent
problem.

I also have a computer running Money 2006 that does not have Money
2007 installed on it. I don't get the pop-ups. Perhaps I have some
IE6 setting set tighter. For example, I have IE6
Tools-> InternetOptions-> Advanced-> PlayAnnimations cleared. Now I
doubt that is the setting that matters here. However I also know
that tightening IE6 too much can have a negative effect on Money.

I would find that irritating too. Perhaps you could work around it
by clicking into the pop-up ad-- as much as it seems objectionable
to ever click into a pop-up ad. Then say no thereafter. Just
guessing based on what I seem to remember from some earlier stuff.

Cal,
You must have upgraded so you don't know what is happening. Even though I
have Tools> Settings> ProgramSettings> TurnOffSponsorshipsAndShoppingLinks
ticked, I get this pop up most of the time I start Money 2006. Once I got
two pop-ups, one on top of each other, so that even when I clicked on
Dismiss This on the visible one , there was another pop-up under the window
that closed. It really is annoying.

Peace,
BobJ

Default How do I stop the buy Money 2007 sales pitch in Money 2006

What am I missing? No matter what I tell Money 2006 it displays the sales
pitch window for Money 2007 everytime I start the program. Is there any
way, short of buying Money 2007, to stop this annoying window from
displaying every time I load Money 2006? I'm reasonably happy with Money
2006. After some previous very bad experiences with new versions of Money I
want to wait until people are saying good things before I pay my yearly dues
to Microsoft and commit to upgrading yet again.
