Hmmm. Maybe I'll have to try that instead.

It is working now. I first upgraded from 99 to 2001. Then
I upgrade from 2001 to 2004. Iwas lucky to find acopy of
2001. The convertor for the files can't handle a five
year leap!

Money 2004 was pre-installed by Dell.

You got the machine new from Dell a week ago. Was Money

Yep. It was. Bye.

I've seen that KB article before.

I have already uninstalled/reinstalled both the service pack AND Money 2004
fully. Have performed a repair/reinstall of Windows XP once, as per
instructions from DELL. Was also suggested I perform a System Restore, but
as I have had the computer since all of Thursday, that doesn't give me a lot
of options (and frankly it just seems like guessing). Have also tried
installing Money to a different directory, but that had the same results.

I don't know what would be causing that, but I would try the things

Yes indeedy I do get an error message! The text of the error follows below.

--------------------------------- [title bar] Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
--------------------------------- (X) Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money\System\msmoney.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unsual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
-----------------------------------
Haven't been able to figure anything out so far. Although the
afore-mentioned export/import seems to have worked, the regular conversion
would seem to be a better way of doing the job.

I've seen problems like this before where, for some people, it was fixed by
going through an intermediate copy of Money, say Money 2002 and then onto
2004. Best way forward with this is to try to find the trial version of the
country version you're using for 2002 or 2001 - however, that might be
difficult.

Crashes how? Do you get an error message?

OK Didn't know that file was there.

However, I still get the same response.

"No broken records in the original file."

So the salvage utility says nothing is wrong, yet Money 2004 crashes.

Have you tried using salv.exe from the Money 2004 install on your
Money 1999 file? If not, I suggest you try that.

I was afraid of having to do that. (sigh)

I suspect there is something in my current Money 99 file that is broken, but
I haven't had any luck (read zero) in fixing it. Money 99's built-in
salvage, using the -s did nothing, and Money 2004's built-in salvage also
has no effect.

I REALLY didn't want to deal with import/export. I have info. going all the
way back to 1999 when I first got that computer.

What are the chances of MS fixing whatever is broken?

As usual, you have to solve it "the Microsoft way", which
is the dumbest possible... this one worked... I have Money
99 (I tried with sample data and it worked):

1) Open your Money 04 and create ALL your accounts
(checking, credit cards, investments, etc..) and leave
them blank. Then exit Money 04
2) Open your Money 98, go to File-> Export and export EACH
ONE of your accounts, generating a .QIF file
3) Close Money 98 and open Money 04
4) In your blank file, go to File-> Import, and import
each .QIF file into the corresponding account you have
previously created.

Good luck, I will need it too with my real data...

I had the same problem, but I'm using Money99 in
Portuguese, I thought it was a language conversion
problem, since there's no Money2004 available in
Portuguese. I tried contacting Microsoft in the US and
still didn't get an answer.
They gave me a number 1800-426-9400 works only weekdays
6am-5pm Pacific time. I will try next week but any
additional help is welcome here.

I am having the same problem here. Unable to upgrade
from Money 99 to Money 2004. I get a Runtime Error if
the old .mny file is in My Documents folder. Otherwise,
Money 2004 will run fine as a new install.

I am running a Dell Dimension 8300. McAfee Anti-virus,
ATI Radeon 9800XT. Spybot S&D installed.

On WinXP home, Money2004 installs OK. But hangs during
file conversion from Money99. I was able to go in and set
up as a new user - new accounts etc. I want to be able
to use all my stored info. Is there a patch, fix, work
around that will let me import the old file or Money99
too old? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Craig
