I am having the same problems as "littlejen" and I am a
Direcway user also. My install dies after I get an error
message that begins with "An update has been downloaded.
To activate the update follow these steps..." Then it
is "unable to initialize" time again. I have cleaned Money
out of the regestry so many times I can do it in my
sleep! So far Microsoft technical support has been
useless!

I was having the same problem with Money 2003 on Win98. I
was finally successful with using MSKB art 814144. At
first it did not work, in fact, several times. During
reinstall, had an error pop up with msxml3.dll in the
Money System Pack. Had to reinstall the msxml3.dll set,
re-installed MSMoney, re-ran the regsvr32 line from MSKB
814144 and a new Money page started. Messed around quite
a lot but it finally worked. Good Luck

I am having the exact same problem. I have.....

Reinstalled
Uninstalled. Delete registry keys. Deleted all Money folders
Search registery for "DirecPC" links.

Nothing works. This is not cool. I have sent in the error reports. According to the details of it (can't copy), I have some errors with some Windows dll files and also msmoney.exe. So I guess this has something to do with Windows. :-|

Was DirecWay formerly DirecPC? See

http://support.microsoft.com/default...91&Product=mny
is similar.

I am having similar problems. I have gotten Money 2004
to run, but have to uninstall Money, then uninstall
direcway reinstall money then direcway. After I did this
Money 2004 launched and ran beautifully. I ran the
internet updates, rebooted, and restarted money. Later
on it says that it has downloaded an update and I should
restart (again) Once it shows this (rebooted or not) it
will no longer run. It tells me that it is "Unable to
initalize a required Money component. Please reinstall
Money from your original product disks." I have done
this three times now and it has done the same thing over
and over.

I have the same problem with M2003. It just happened. I
had a lot of comments under "Money wont start" but none of
the fixes worked.

I have been unable to get it to start as well. Have also
tried reinstalling several times. The first message I got
was about running norton antivirus software. I temporarily
disabled it according to directions and tat didn't work,
either. I also tried the directions for copying the
contents of the cd rom to desk top and installing from
there and that also didn't work. What happens with mine is
that as soon as I hit the accept terms of agreement for
licensing, it goes to next screen and the computer freezes
up. I have installed other things today and no problem.
So, I am at a loss. Don't know if it is Money problem or
Norton Antivirus problem but it isn't working. Anyone want
to buy the software? And, it uninstalled automatically my
1998 version of Money. So, it may be back to Quicken.

When trying to start Money 2004, I receive the message Microsoft Money has
encountered an error and must close. I have tried several reinstalls, but
still the same problem. If anyone has any ideas or knows a fix, please let
me know. I have been using this for several months now with no problems.
