I would contact Microsoft support.

Cal,

Help/About version is now 17.0.*.1415.
As you suggested, I copied Sample.mny from the install folder to the
Documents folder.
I opened it, and Portfolio "...stops working"

I then opened money "as administrator" (still with Sample.mny) and Portfolio
opened without failiure.

What else can I do to run normally?
Thanks.

Confirm the Help-> About version is now 17.0.*.1415.

Copy Sample.mny from the install folder to the Documents folder.
Open that, and see if the Portfolio works there. That should
distinguish whether the symptom is associated with your file or your
installation.

Cal,

I put my *.mny and mbf files into my Documents folder as you suggested.
Upon starting money (not "as admin") it couldn't find my file (in old
location as expected) I pointed to Documents and all started ok until I went
to Portfolio - still "...stopped working." Portfolio does work if I start
"as administrator" as before.

I also tried Mark's suggestion of selecting basic tools in msn money and I
deleted the only 2 msncentral cookies I could find which were:
C:\Users\Roger\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\C ookies
roger[at]moneycentral.msn[1]
C:\Users\Roger\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\C ookies\Low
roger[at]moneycentral.msn[2]

What else can I try?
Thanks.

Put your *.mny and mbf files into your Documents folder -- not your
ProgramFiles folder.

After the Money Plus update, I now will get a "money stopped working"
whenever I select portfolio or any of the 1st 4 help items. This occurs when
opening my money file or the sample file. If I right-click and select "run
as administrator" when I start money, everything seems to work ok on both my
money file and the sample file. How do I return to normal start without
having to "run as adminstrator?"

I am the only user of this Vista Ultimate PC. If this is hard to fix, I
have the ability to easily reload my harddrive from a backup and return my
computer to a pre-update status if I need to follow a prescribed update
procedure. Both before and after the update, my money file is saved in the
default Virtual Store location and the sample file is saved in the program
files/money plus location if that makes a difference.
Mark or Cal, what do you recommend to get me back to normal?
Thank you for your time.
