Can't say what's happening. I'm wondering if, for instance, the problem is
data file specific and wouldn't occur with the sample data file or a new
data file.

M05 was never my favorite.

The version in use indicates it's been patched. I've also placed an
additional 512mb of memory into the PC. User reports she is experiening
slowness plus still has the occasional lock-up.

That's a new one here.

I think a "recent" upgrade to an already obsolete version of Money that was
as bad as M05 was from the get go was a bizarre choice. Sounds like
something our EIS group would think was a wise idea. You know, deploy
nothing before it's entirely obsolete.

I'd make sure that the Internet Update to M05 has been performed.
(Help|About reporting something like 14.0.*.1105.) Unique among many
versions of Money, M05 had so many problems when they shipped it that it got
a massive service update very shortly after shipping. They must have been
working the fixes as they did the original RTM. I'm also wondering about
things like video drivers. Can't say why, exactly.

I'd also consider opening a support case directly with Microsoft on this
one. I believe they will still support M05--but not for much longer, it's
three versions obsolete now.

Hi

I have an issue with a user running Money 2005. Problem as follows
------------------------------------------------------------- In the Forensic Accounting Section, most of us have recently upgraded to
Miscrosoft Money 2005 from an earlier version. This is an essential tool for
our financial analysis work.

However, since upgrading, I am having trouble with Excel whenever I have
been using Money at the same time (my work requires me to be working with
both open at the same time – I have dual screens).

What seems to be happening is that when I have been operating in Money, and
then click my cursor back into an open Excel spreadsheet, my cursor in Excel
seems to lock into the first cell I click in. Although I can move the cursor
on the screen, it only highlights areas starting from the first cell, and
does nothing if I move it over the toolbar, menu bar, start bar or any other
windows or icons outside the Excel window (the highlighted area on the
spreadsheet continues to scroll in the direction I have moved the cursor).
The only way to get out of this mode seems to be to close Excel down using
ctrl-alt-del and the task manager.

I did call the help desk to discuss this when it first happened last week
(Tuesday 28/8 I think), and although no solution was proposed, we solved it
at the time by calling up the task manager and ending Excel.

However, this problem has since happened 3 out of the 4 times I have had
Excel and Money open at the same time.

My work associate says that she has had similar problems with Excel at home,
seemingly randomly, but for me it is obviously related to running Money at
the same time. I wonder if it is a problem that arises with Excel when
something else is using lots of memory or resources (in this case, the new
version of Money)?

Can you please help me.

With the complex financial analysis we carry out in this section, and Money
and Excel being our main tools and often used together, this is a significant
problem
------------------------------------------------------------- The previous version used was Money 99. The user upgraded to 2005 (ver14.0)
and has been having the problems since.

Can anyone offer any ideas as to what may be causing the issue?

Thanks
