The probable problem is that the data up on MoneyCentral has
multiple copies of the accounts.

Go to http://moneycentral.msn.com/banking/...ts/welcome.asp
Then sign in with your LiveID, and delete all the extra accounts.

Alternately, remove financial all information from MSN Money

Then do the steps in

including disabling online access in Microsoft Money for Citibank as
described.

Disable the Citi account for online access. Then set it up again for
online access. You will still do the merging. Regarding the three
accounts that you don't want, let Money create the accounts.
Right-click on the AccountList where it says you have transactions
to read. Delete the statement. Close those accounts. Merge the one
you want, which should be possible since you made it not setup for
online access.

Thanks; but I tried that twice and it doesn't help. The thing is, no
matter how many times I restore the file from the last time I used it
on the old computer, as soon as I fire up the new one, it downloads
and overrides everything. For example, I'm still getting four
separate Citibank accounts downloaded (I only have one) and NONE of
them all the transactions, and I can't merge them, because when I go
in to merge duplicate accounts, they are only listed as accounts I can
merge with non-Citibank accounts. And so on. And when I start Money
on the old computer, now all this data downloads into THAT account
too. I have no idea why; I haven't done any updating or changing of
any data whatsoever, I'm just trying to get what was on one computer
onto the new computer, and apparently somewhere in that transition,
all my stored online data is somehow hosed, and once that happens,
there's no going back. And I pay all my bills online, and interact
with my financial institutions through Money, so of course I wanted to
keep the online interaction, but obviously I will have to start over.

Let's assume your new computer uses Vista.

Copy your *.mny and your recent *.mbf from the old computer to a USB
flash drive (or use your favorite way to copy files). Copy those
file to your Documents / MyDocuments folder.

If they are in ProgramFiles, and you are running Vista, Vista will
create an impermanent copy of the file for the user to use, unless
the user explicitly right-clicks at launch and choose
RunAsAdministrator that time.

Check that the SSL2 protocol is enabled. That checkbox is in IE
Tools-> InternetOptions-> Advanced.

After install, right-click the Money icon and choose
RunAsAdministrator to let potential updates happen. Reboot the
computer. You should not have to run as Administrator normally.

Then open Money by browsing to the *.mny file copied from the old
computer, right-clicking, and choosing Open. Thereafter Money should
remember which file you used last.

(And by the way, now it's all screwed up on my OLD computer, too)

Migrating my Money 2006 to a new computer. Installed Money 2006; as
soon as I opened it up, it downloaded my online file, but everything
is a complete mess - for example, one account I now have four copies
of, and when I go to merge duplicates, none of the four is available
for for merging. Brought back as new accounts I paid off and closed
three years ago. I have a backup file from the old computer, but will
it even work, if everytime I go online, it overwrites my good file
with all this crap? There's ten years worth of data in here, and now
it's a shambles. I can't believe it's *supposed* to work like this,
but it's been three weeks now, and I have NO idea of the true state of
my finances because of all this.
