You need the original Money 2005 installation CD. If you don't have
that then this is not going to work.

I would use the regular .mny file copied from your old computer
*after* have installed from the original Money 2005 installation CD
and you have the version in Money as 14.0.*.1105.

No; it's an unfortunate similarity in name. You can hold down the
<windows> key and poke the E key as an easy way to launch Windows
Explorer.

It should bring up a menu with that choice. If you don't see that, I
don't know the cause. Maybe you have to be an Administrator to see
that choice.

I had the sample account up, but it is gone, and my backup did not load in.
Perhaps I did not back up properly to my CD. How do I do that properly, and
will I have one or two backup files. Why do I find two files in my documents
(Microsoft Money and Microsoft Money Backup file), and which one do I use?

Is Windows Explorer the same as Windows Internet Explorer, if not, how do I
go there in Vista?

When I right click on the sample file I do not see a RunAsAdministrator
prompt.

Thanks for your patience!

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

Install Money 2005 by right-clicking Setup.exe from your CD and
choosing RunAsAdministrator.


Find the sample.mny file in your install folder. That may be
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money 2005". Copy sample.mny file to
your Documents folder in Vista. In Windows Explorer, right-click
that file and choose RunAsAdministrator. It will do an update.
Close Money. Reboot the computer. Then open Money and check that
Help-> About... says you then have version 14.0.*.1105.

Make sure your .mny and .mbf files are in your Documents folder.
Then you should be able to File-> Open or Restore your existing
files.
