You need the original disk. Copying across definitely won't work. If you go
for a more modern version of Money I really do urge that you buy a physical
CD rather than a download.

Joe, thanks for your follow up. Only challenge is that
Money came pre-installed with my older computer. I do
not have an original disk to reinstall it. I did copy it-
-even going as far as to try to change the properties on
the copy (removing read only) but to no avail. Any ideas
on how I could reinstall it to another machine without
the original disk? I have killed about 4 hours today
copying and messing around with this...arrgh!

One question -- did you just "copy" Money or did you reinstall it? I think
it needs to be reinstalled.

Just upgraded computers and now have Windows XP home
edition. My old computer had Windows 98 and had Money 98
as well. I copied the Money 98 files to my new computer
along with the Money program. Unfortunately, since
loading the program on my new computer, I am unable to
access my files. I keep getting a pop up window that
asks me to backup the file. If I do or do not, I get the
same results--I am unable to access my file, and I am
asked to back up up the file. Any ideas what I can do,
short of keeping my old computer on to balance my check
book?

Thanks in advance.

Mike
