I assume you are running XP.

Either open the sample.mny file in your install folder, or let
Money 2005 create a new Money file, clicking Decline in the
process. It will do an update. Close Money. Then open Money and
check that Help-> About... says you then have version 14.0.*.1105.

Then you should be able to open or restore your existing files.

I have using money since 1990 with constant updates, my latest update was in
2005. Recently my hard disc crashed and I have to change for a new hard
disc, after install money, I was unable to open my money files which run
satisfactorily before the crash. When I try to run openthe file it always
says "the file is created by an older version of money, money will save a
copy of the file and upgrade you file for use by the program". Then after a
while a message apear saying that "money is unable to acess your file .....".
Can any one help me.

I have run the same file on another machine with the same version of money
and it works ok.
