In the past some Norton users have posted that turning off did not
do the job. They had to uninstall Norton, install Money and
reinstall Norton.

You can follow the info in the KB article. You can also do
File-> RepairMoneyFile-> StandardFileRepair level 2

What about that *.m10 file. Did you find such a file?

I turned off all my norton antivirus features and no luck. What is a standard
level 2 file repair? I have already tried restoring a backup and get the same
response. I have already done the copy file w/new name. I have also tried
downloading the free trial version of microsoft plus deluxe. I still get
stopped at the same "not enough memory" message.

Do you use Norton or Spysweeper?

If you have set a compatibility mode for Money, I would undo that.

So you successfully opened sample.mny. When you do, you can see the
version is 14.0.*.1105. The problem only occurs with your regular
file.

Locate your *.m10 file. Copy that to a file named something like
try05.mny in your Documents folder. Try opening try05.mny.

Still no go? I suggest standard level 2 file repair or restoring a
backup (*.mbf).

I have already done the sample to get the updates AND moved the backup file
to the documents folder on my vista computer. When I open the backup file, I
am prompted to give the password to access the file. After entering the
password, I get this message: "Not enough memory is available. If you have
several applications open at the same time, you might need to close one of
them before starting Money. But I don't have ANY other windows open. What do
I do now?

Find the sample.mny file in your install folder. That may be
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money 2005". Copy sample.mny file to
your Documents folder in Vista. Right-click the Money start icon
and select RunAsAdministrator. Click File-> Open and browse to that
sample.mny file. Money 2005 will do an update. Close Money.
Reboot the computer. Then open Money and check that Help-> About...
says you then have version 14.0.*.1105.

Make sure your .mny and .mbf files are in your Documents folder.
Then you should be able to File-> Open or Restore your existing
files.

I don't know what's going on for sure. One thing comes to mind. M05 had
"Issues" when it first shipped and there was fairly rapidly a patch made
available. Have you done an Internet Update on M05? Open the sample file if
necessary to get to the point where you can do this.

I recently bought a new pc w/vista. Attempted trial w/money essentials which
does not recognize previous money files. downloaded money 2005 free trial
version. all i needed was to balance my statements. tried to look at reports.
had to download updates. once downloaded, error message received "not enough
memory is available" . well, I bought money 2005 disk off ebay. it will not
recognize my backup file. finally got it to recognize one of my backups and
again, i get the same "not enought memory . . ." This is very irritating and
discouraging.
