Just a follow-up on this issue:

Read a post later on in this group that suggested the problem might lie with an
incompatability with IE7 beta and Money 2007.

Yep. That was it. I uninstalled the IE7 Beta 3, rebooted. Ran Money 2007 and
let the auto-patch do it's thing (went without a hitch). Reinstalled IE7 and,
after another reboot, was back to normal.

All is well here now.

Chad,

When you open Money try to download the update in either safe mode or a
clean boot. this will stop anything blocking the update and alow it
through.

If your not sure how to do a clean boot or safe mode go to
www.microsoft.com and then search the KB for the steps.

Hope this helps

That is the latest version. There is updating of things like tax
rates, financial institution for setup, etc, that do not affect the
version number. I don't know what the update the Chad discusses
does.

For Chad, the following has handled some problems in the past and
might help in this case. Let us know.

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.

What's the current version...? I upgraded the first day it was out, but
haven't been prompted to update 07 -- is there a patch of some sort...?

The version I have is: 16.0.120.621

Uninstall the IE 7 beta and do the update. The crash will stop.

Everytime I start Money 2007 I have a pop up window asking me to update Money
and press OK.

Which I do, and it closes Money and downloads the update. It then asks if
it's ready to install, and that crashes. Then it says 'Microsoft Money Update
Utility has caused an error and needs to be restarted.' or whatever that
message is.

That happens everytime I start Money, and I'd like to update it, because
that notification is real annoying.

What is wrong ? Is there a way to manually update Money 2007 ?

Thanks
