Actually, just opening Sample.mny as an XP administrator may be
sufficient. Otherwise reinstall as an administrator and run once as
an administrator.

If you downloaded, yes. If you bought Money 2007 Deluxe from Best
Buy and have the CD, then I would reinstall from the CD.

In either case, you will want to do the install on XP Pro as an
administrator.

oops, I meant Money 2007 Deluxe! sorry for the mistake. Should I still
follow the same instructions you sent earlier?

thanks

Then why in your 17 March post did you say
==========================================
"I am using money 2006 version 15.0.6.513 .

I do not have a sample file in the money 2006 folder. It was a
downloaded
program. should I just try a new file for money to use, then switch
back to
my file?"
==============================================
???

ok Cal I will try that. It is kind of funny that this version of Money I
bought was a retail version from Best Buy. Any reason that this would be
happening from a retail version?

What is the target MS Money 2006 version? I'm having issues with associating
an online service with one of my accounts and want to be sure I'm not having
an issue. As well, I do run NAV and have since before MS Money was installed
(reinstalled due to OS Crash) but my software is retail box. Do I still have
the issue?

Ok. I now realize 15.0.6.513 is the Money 2006 downloaded installer
program that has not yet been updated to the purchased level.

What you will need to do is,
1. If you run Norton, uninstall Norton. (users report "disable" is
insufficient.) If other software firewall, make sure it passes the
info.
2. You will have to open a file with the same LiveID/Passport that
you used when you purchased the upgrade. You could do this by
opening an existing file that uses that LiveID/Passport, or you
could create a new file for the purpose.
In that resolution, create a NEW empty file (named perhaps Temp.mny)
that you put the referenced Passport onto. Close Money. Restart
Money.

http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;889930 has
good info for you.

3. Reinstall/re-enable the Norton or other firewall.

finally found a sample file, but it says it pops up with the message it has
money files to update, but nothing happens if I leave it running.

If running Vista, and I suspect you are, see
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929427 for updates including support
for Money 2006.

What I would do is to make sure that your *.mny and backup files are
not in a protected area, such as ProgramFiles. One safe place is in
your Documents/MyDocuments folder.

Then run Money at least once as administrator, by right-clicking, as
I posted in the other thread.

You probably don't need to run the Sample.mny file, in your case,
but Sample.mny may be in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money 2006" on
your computer. If running Vista, you would want to copy it to your
Documents/MyDocuments folder before use.


Most people are not running Vista yet, so it would probably be a
good idea to point that out when posting a question, for a while....
if you are indeed running Vista. Did I guess right?

I don't think that .6. part is right, but that's not important.

If running Vista, try right-clicking your Money launch icon and
choosing run as administrator once.

Sounds like you have the original money 2006 with out the patches that came
out later. I would start with the sample file that is on the disk to allow
money to download the patches. I am assuming that you have loaded money and
are trying to run the former data file. I happen to have accounts at both
Citibank and Bank of America and remember that in Aug/Sept 05 I had similar
difficulties until the Money update came out.

What version of Money 2006 are you attempting to reload?

still no luck.
also, every time I start up, it says money needs to update files, but you
can continue using the product. but I continue to get this screen everytime!
