Cruzer micro won't store back-up

#3 09-04-2008, 04:42 PM

Isn't it ironic the company (Microsoft) that makes the OS & the program
(Money) can't get them to work in harmony? Storage limitations, etc, should
never be an issue.
Just my opinion.

It's the free space. A workaround for Money versions before Money
Plus is to fill up the drive with something to leave less than 2 GB
free.

Money Plus does not have that limitation bug.

Money has trouble writing to drives that big. You can continue to copy
your files there manually, or you can partition it into multiple
drives. 2 GB seems to be the magic limit.

Does your cruzer show two "drives" when plugged-in? What's the
"backup path" to the cruzer within Money? What's the path you "copy"
to outside of Money?

i have a cruzer micro 4gb flash drive (for vista, per the package), but when
i try to backup to this drive, it says Money has filled the drive and asks
for another disk. the backup file is only ~750kb, and i can copy it into the
cruzer, but can't save directly to it. can anyone help?
