Cal Learner,

THANK YOU; setting the program settings to start money with "ACCOUNT LIST"
page open did the trick. My file now opens in less than one minute!!! What
a HUGE difference.

I'm glad I did not remove all Bills as some of the other responders
recommended.

Now I can spend my time optimizing money management...

My wife and I are very pleased,

Mr. Wonka (and his wife)

Alternately, you might want to MAKE A COPY of your file and use the
File|Repair|Remove Bills or whatever it is they call Nuke The Bills. If that
copy is faster, we must discuss.

Open the problem file. Does it open faster now?


Then Tools-> Settings-> HomePageDisplayOptions and Remove various
modules. Figure out which module slows you down.

Recently upgraded from MS Money 2004 to MS Money Plus Deluxe. Is it normal
for a 9 MB file to take 20 minutes to open??? My PC is a Compaq Presario
running Windows XP Home Edition Ver 2002 Sevice Pack 2 with 2.69 GHz Clock
and 504 MB RAM. Note, once the file opens, navigating thru the various
screens responds reasonably well.

Are there settings I need to change ?
Do I need more RAM?

Disappointed with the upgrade so far,
Mr Wonka
