Ensure that Help-> About shows version 14.0.*.1105. If it does not,
open Sample.mny from the install folder, connect to the internet,

If it already was that version, I would try \txt\MF_FIX.TXT:If not
File-> RepairMoneyFile-> StandardFileRepair level 2.

I recently installed Money 2005, upgrading from a much earlier version 3.0,
and have trouble with categories. When I try to assign a category the only
category shown under expenses in the drop-down box is taxes! The help file
says "To categorise your transactions, you can use the standard categories
that come with Money or create your own custom categories." When I click on
Show Full Category List in Money Settings I get the message "Money could not
write to your Money file. The operation cannot be performed or another
application finished this task before you." Then when I click OK I get the
message "The standard categories have been added to your list of categories".
But they're not there! Where are they? I'd appreciate any help anyone can
give. Thanks.
