This is happening from the Microsoft Discussion Groups interface? Yikes!

I replied in the same thread. However, I just discovered that if you're
using a web-based newsreader, like the one provided by Microsoft, there is a
bug that breaks out some threads into new topics.

If you're using an NNTP newsreader (I'm using Windows Live Mail 2009), this
doesn't happen.

If anyone would like a more technical explanation, please let me know.

Regards,
Shane.

I'm not sure how/why this is happening, but PLEASE reply in the same thread
rather than generating all of these new threads.

I've reinstalled Money 2006.

I lost some of my settings when I removed Money, but at least it's working
again.

Thanks, and thanks again,
Shane.

Here is what you would do to re-associate .ofx files with Money
2006; .qif would be similar:

Start-> Settings-> ControlPanel-> FolderOptions-> FileTypes

Select OFX-- Open Financial Exchange File .


Click Advanced. Check Confirm Open After Download unless
you would not like the pop-up box.

See that the "Actions" box contains "Open" in bold. If it is not
bold, you can select Open as the default action by clicking the
Set Default button.

Click Edit.

When you click edit, the application used to perform action
should be similar to the following line:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money 2006\MNYCoreFiles\mnyimprt.exe" %1

WITH the quotes, and the %1 after the quote. The path will
differ based on your installation. Modify for your setup.

Application should be mnyimprt with the appropriate path.
The easy way to fix this may be to reinstall Money.

Have you considered removing the LiveID?

My 60 day trial has just expired, and I've installed (and removed) several
applications since then. I don't think I want to restore my computer back
that far. Right now I'm looking at reinstalling Money.

I'm running Windows XP Home SP3. There's another possibility?

Thanks,
Shane.

I was hoping that I wouldn't have to do something that drastic.

Most applications, in addition to having an uninstall feature, have a repair
function, that let you fix your broken program instead of having to remove
it and then reinstall it. I see that you can repair the *.mny file, but I
didn't see an option to repair Money itself.

I have one question before attempting a reinstall:

I have two passport accounts, a hotmail.com account, which I am trying to
move away from, and a new live.ca account. My hotmail.com is what I use with
Money right now, but when I reinstall it, can I just go ahead and use my
live.ca account? Since I'm in Canada, none of the banks are "online". I have
to go to the banks web site to manually download the file.

Thanks again,
Shane.

You could restore a restore point to before you installed the
Essentials trial. You could reinstall Money 2006 to get file
associations corrected.

Are you running XP? There is another possibility.

Money Plus Deluxe isn't available in Canada. The only thing being sold here
is Money Essentials. I thought that the newest version of Money would offer
more features than 2006, so I downloaded the trial version. The FAQ said
that you could run both versions at the same time as long you installed the
trial in a separate directory.

Well, Money Essentials doesn't allow you to import a *.mny file, and I
didn't want to have to manually type in several years worth of transactions,
so it seemed to be pretty worthless to me. I removed the trial, which create
problems with my 2006 install.

Shane.

M$ stopped selling Money Standard after 2006 and, at the same time, began
selling Money Essentials. This has caused a lot of confusion. Money
Standard was a basic functional Money Program without some of the frills
that were in Deluxe; while Money Essentials is a totally stripped down (and
in almost everyone's opinion, useless) program. The update route from Money
Standard 200x is Money Plus Deluxe. That's just the way it is.

Greetings,

I'm using Money 2006 Standard Edition, and I wanted to try the latest
version of Money Essentials. The FAQ said there were no problems installing
the trial alongside your existing installation because it installs into a
separate directory. Well, my trial just expired, and now that I removed
Money Essentials, I now have two problems:

1. Money 2006 no longer plays sounds.

2. When I click the "download" button at my bank's web site, the information
no longer gets downloaded into Money. Instead I get a file download box with
a filename ending in either *.ofx or *.qif.

How do I repair my installation of Money? There is an option to repair the
Money file (*.mny), but not an option to repair Money itself.

Please help!

Thanks,
Shane.
