downloaded Money Essentials, cannot open anything

Steve is correct in the fine print you will find the information that
Essentials will not convert previous files. So you will need to upgrade to
at least deluxe.

We don't call it MEss around here for nothing.

See Steve's post for other ideas.

Return Essentials and purchase a more capable version. Essentials cannot
open or import data from other versions of Money. It has none of the
features you're used to.

Go back to the web site where you bought Essentials and return it for a
refund.

I just bought and downloaded and registered Money Essentials after using
Moaney Plus for the trial period.

After installation, Essentials does not put a shortcut on the desktop and no
other links to open ONLY Eseentials.
So I got to open up my old link to Money Plus. When I go to sign into
Passport, it gives me a message that Essential cannot open previous versions
of Money or its files. I now cannot open anything and Microsoft wants to
charge me $35 for tech help on their junk product thats not even compatible.

Any ideas?
