If I understand correctly, you installed a version of Money and are
now getting an error message that says "This operation cannot be
performed". In that case, do
File-> RepairMoneyFile-> StandardFileRepair level 2

I never suggested any such thing. I suggested trying to create a
user, install as that user, and then switch back to using your
existing user.

Thanks Dick Watson.

it is sort of what I was thinking. I am sill having problem downloading
Money Deluxe 2008 trial. I am almost afraid to purchase the software having
had these issues so early. I cannot even reinstall my previous version of
Money (from disk) on my computer. It stays in a not responding state (all
night).

I did what Cal suggest but with new issues now. I also realize that I would
have to work switching users to work in Money and other program I use.

Any ideas?

Money Essentials (MEss) cannot use files, backup or otherwise, from the
fully featured editions of Money.

M+ is quite unlikely to work on Win95. It's not a Vista program for what
it's worth, it's just that Win95 is so obsolete almost no current software
from anyone will work on it.

Thanks for the help.

I tried what you said and was able to download the program. Another issue: A
window keeps popping up which states, "This operation cannot be performed".
Do you have any idea what that is about. I cannot move forward, with every
click of the mouse, the window pops up.

Additionally, I was able to download MS Money Essential 2008. Works find but
I cannot restore my backup. Am I correct in assuming that my MS Money 2006
Deluxe files are a step ahead i.e. trying to run a Vista program on Windows
95.

I feel like I have to start from scratch and I am not happy about that.

Any ideas on this one?

I suspect you are referring to the Money Plus (2008) trial.

Are you using Vista?

In either case, you could try creating a new Administrative user,
and install as that user.

If using Vista, right-click the install program and select
RunAsAdmistrator.

I've been using Money 2006 but decided to try Money Deluxe 2007. What a
nightmare. I can't get it to download, it stays in a non responsive state
forever (Ctrl Atl Del necessary to close). Ihave the disk for Money 2006 and
have tried to re-install that version, now I'm having the same issue with my
disk. Can anyone advise. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling several
times but nothing seems to be working.
