Default RE: Microsoft Money 2008

"Nuking the Bills" did in fact take care of the problem. Thanks for the
advice.

If you have any active APays, be sure to cancel the series through the
bank before nuking bills, then recreate. Otherwise you'll end up with
duplicate scheduled payments at the bank: One you newly created in
Money, and the old one the bank still knows about, but Money doesn't.

Beware that there are some things which that report will not show. Edited
series, amount varies, number remaining in a finite series and paycheck tab
assignment all come to mind. It's a good place to start, but may not be
sufficient for all users.

I had the same problem upgrading from Money 2006. I found two things
helped me:

1. I had customized the home page to have a spending thermometer
widget on it. This was causing a lot of computation when first
loading the software.

2. I had to use the nuke the bills method. After doing this, the
difference was night and day. On the bright side, Money has a special
report you can generate and save to excel that shows you all your
bills, category splits, etc. Putting them back in was relatively
painless (and I have maybe 20-30 scheduled bills and deposits).

Your file may well be a candidate for "nuke the bills". See
http://umpmfaq.info/faqdb.php?q=187. Try it with a test copy to se if it
will be effective for you. Then start your planning for the recovery if you
decide it's worth it.

Default Microsoft Money 2008

I am experimenting with an upgrade to Money Plus (2008 version), from Microsoft Money 2004. The data conversion itself took almost 20 minutes on a P4 XP-Home system. Now that the data is converted, it takes 5 minutes plus to move between areas of the program. During this time, the CPU is maxed out. For Money 2004, this was instantaneous.

Does anyone have any idea what is causing this, and/or have a work-around?
