Be sure that your Money and backup files are moved to a spot that
you will have full privileges to, such as Documents/MyDocuments.
If they are in a place like ProgramFiles, Vista will create an
impermanent copy of the file for the user to use, unless the user
explicitly right-clicks at launch and choose RunAsAdministrator
that time.

Right-click the Money icon and choose RunAsAdministrator to let
possible updates happen. Then reboot the computer.

Default Cannot open existing file on new PC

I have just set up a new PC running Vista and installed Money 2004 (UK
version). I am unable to open my existing file. I believe I need to run an
upgrade (I had this problem when I first upgraded to 2004 and eventually
found the solution in this newsgroup). However, the error message I am
getting tells me I need to be logged on as a member of Administrators Group
in order to do this. How do I do this? I am the only user of the machine and
have Administrator access already.

Many thanks.
