I too am having problems. I bought Microsoft Money Plus Home and
Business ... installed it. Tried to open it. No luck. It just
constantly is saying "Microsoft Money has stopped working". It has
never worked. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, etc. I even tried
installing a trial straight from the Microsoft website, no luck.

I am running Vista Home Premium if that makes a difference.

I appear to be back in business, but only by the skin of my teeth.

The root cause seems to be that the *.mny file was corrupted. I don't
know how it got corrupted, but I have a clue which appeared as part of
the restoration.

I did do a system restore, I did a reinstall, I did try using Money
2007 vs. using 2006 ... all were ineffectual and red-herrings.

The *.mny file was about 26 mb. I don't know if that a lot or not. I
guess now it is. But why it would care I don't know. Unfortuantely,
I did not have a recent backup file. The best I had was a backup
taken about 1-month ago.

I opened that file, and Money 2006 worked just fine. I did a quick
repair and it seemed to be ok with that. I did a full repaire
creating a new file. The file size grew, but Money was satisfied with
doing the repair. I used that repaired file as starting point to add
in the transactions missing from the point of the backup (mid-Nov).

I downloaded transactions from my bank accounts (2 of them) and from
my brokerage account (four acounts there). After doing the download
update, would take a backup then accept transcations for an account,
then another backup, then accept transactions for another account.
Interestingly, Money would fail (with the error message reported
here), consistently, upon accepting transactions for one of the
brokerage accounts. Those transactions evidently were corrupting the
file. How and why is a mystery.

So ... I delete the brokerage account and started again. I pretended
it was a new account and updated across the internet that account, but
instead of taking full transactions, only started with the current
position. That seemed to work.

Also ... thinking that file size may have something to do with it (and
I'm chagrined and disappointed to think that it does), I archived some
of the older data using the archive funcationality. That reduced the
file size somewhat, but I have to say not as much as I would have
expected.

So now I have a recovered *.mny file ... with less data and re-built
one of the accounts from scratch.

I conclude:

: Money corrupted the file, not me. Caused by adding new transactions
of one of the brokerage account. There was nothing unusual about
those transcations. But Money clearly corrupted the file and the
corruption is replicable.

: using Money 2007 vs. 2006 doesn't seem to make a difference.

I too started having problems with ms money yesterday 12/26. As soon
as I enter my password I get an error message saying that ms money and
encountered a problem and needs to shut down. I am currently using the
2007 home/business trial version on a pc laptop using Windows XP. I
read something about a logitech mouse or something to that effect. We
use the scroll pad, not an actual mouse, I have been using this same
laptop all year, nothing has changed so I am not sure what caused it
to suddenly stop working. I tried logging in again today 12/27 and I
am still getting the same message.

This problem appeared on my machine today using Money 2006 on Vista.
Worked fine for the last few months after installing Money 2006 on my
new laptop. Worked yesterday. Today does not work. So I did
following:

: uninstalled Money 2006
: installed Money 2007 (bought it a few months ago and stalled
installing it)
: upgraded the Money file been working on for years
: same error message appeared.
: tried the fix suggested by Cal to open sample.mny, but Money 2007
get stuck in some sort of looop "compacting file" where it continously
flashes the "Working" progress bar which swhoshes from 0 to 100%
before re starting. i watched a few thousand of these before giving
up.
: am going to run a System restore then reintsall Money 2007.

Couldn't the silly program waited until after Tax season to do this???

I suggest you open any file you can, such as Sample.mny.
In XP, you can do that by going to your Money install folder
and right-clicking Sample.mny, and choosing Open.
Go to Tools-> Settings-> ProgramSettings and set the
(GeneralDisplayStartMoneyWithThisPageOpen:Accoun tList.
Close Money.

Then open the problem file once or twice.


Then Tools-> Settings-> HomePageDisplayOptions and Remove the
Investment Performance module. If you still have a problem, remove
everything. If the problem goes away, you can add things back until
the crash does not happen. Add back in the other things you want
on the home page. Let us know which was the problem module.

yup- 'I've tried system restore, uninstalling (including deleting
money directory, and cleaning registry) and reinstalling, and the
error persists.'

got the problem fixed though; as an fyi for others, it appears to be
the same basic problem as some other folks have had with msvcr80.dll-
display of the investment performance block on the home page. i
couldn't get into the options and remove that module before money
crashed (as it appears some other folks here have been able to), so i
had to restore my file from a backup, then remove the module.

<snip

Have you tried uninstalling Money and reinstalling it, preferably in a folder
other than the original folder?
