As far as #1, turn off MSN and then try updating.

It's only one background program, actually.

Oh, and M07 was a barely enhanced version of M06, which was same of M05. M05
was not a lot of changes, but all of them bad, to M04. M04 was not much
added to M03 which was the same to M02. M02 was the last version that
rewrote a whole area of the program--Bills. The last large scale investment
in the application Money-as opposed to server-side MSN Money stuff--was M98.
That version redid all of the underpinnings to the IE/MSISAM foundation that
exists to this day.

I haven't tried it out yet, but it looks like it's just an enhanced version
of Money 2007. It also looks like it adds a bunch of background programs
(budget alerts, bill alerts, etc). Personally, I hate a bunch of programs
running in the background. I think you're smart to wait -- will be doing
the same...

re #2, you can use Task Manager to find the running MS Money process and kill
it via there without rebooting. That's all that error msg means. As to #1,
good luck. I'm waiting a few months to see the user feedback in Amazon, Cnet,
etc on Money Plus to see if it's worth upgrading to.

I downloaded the trial version of Money Plus (2008) over Money 2005.
It seemed to install okay...but now two major problems:

1. Account update hangs on "Update in Progress." No way to rid it.
Nothing has been updated since installing (earlier today).
2. After shutting down Money Plus, I try to restarting it, I get an
error message "Money already running." No way to clear this error
message but to reboot my system.

Any thoughts...similar problems...fixes?

Thanks.
