Home Page In Money Plus Very Slow

#3 10-09-2007, 12:33 PM

Thanks, Wildlight, for the heads-up on the spending tracker. I'll try that.
I have been a Money user for at least 12 years, so you can imagine that I
have a huge file. Don't know if that's the reason, but my home page is
taking 10 minutes to display. I consider this unacceptable behavior and have
started a case with Microsoft to get it fixed.

Meanwhile, I'll lose the spending tracker, which I really like!

Just converted to M+Deluxe from MD2006, running on WXP, and experienced the
extremely slow startup. Using your suggestion I dumped Bills & Deposits and
Spending Tracker from the home page. The performance returned to
expectations. Adding back Spending Tracker slowed down performance to
unacceptable levels. Dumped Spending Tracker.

It seems ludicrous to have to go thru the exercise of uisng less than the
software's potential!

Interesting...Removing the items to display one by one and then putting them

back one by one spotted the culprit. Appreciate the heads up.

I would first go to Tools-> Settings-> ProgramSettings and set the
(GeneralDisplay

StartMoneyWithThisPageOpen:Accoun tList
That should speed up starting.

Then Tools-> Settings-> HomePageDisplayOptions and Remove the
BillsAndDeposits and SpendingTracker modules. If you still have
slowness when you go to the "home" page, remove all modules. If the
problem goes away, you can add things back and judge the speed
tradeoff.

Hi all - Recently upgraded to Money Plus and everything seemed to convert
smoothly except for the Money Plus Home Page. It was the same Home Page as
my previous version of Money (2007) only the same page in Plus takes every
bit of 15 seconds to come up. All other pages seem to come instantly. Ideas
anyone?
