problem solved.

I had to delete two Yahoo plug-ins: one was Yahoo audio conferencing
and the other was Yahoo chat. I'm not sure which of the two was the
offending culprit as I deleted them both at the same time. But ever
since, MS Money 2004 is working flawlessly.

While I am not confident it will help, you might try reducing your
IE6 cache size to 10 or 20 MB.

Over the past week I have spent up to 4 hours on the telephone with MS
tech support to resolve the same problem. They're competent and helpful
but this problem is beyond the Level 2 rep's awareness. After searching
these boards and testing every suggestion I could find, Money 2004 still
wouldn't update quotes nor download Money updates, though it would
receive bank updates.

I finally stumbled into something that has me now up and limping. I
uninstalled all browser plug-ins to IE6. Once all are uninstalled, go
to Internet Options/General; from there, Delete Cookies, Delete Files
and Clear History (just to be on the safe side.) Make sure IE6 is your
system's default browser and check to be sure that Money 2004 is using
your system's default browser (Tools/Options/Connection/Always use
system default browser.)

Now try a download with Money. This worked for me.

However, the next time I'd try, I'd get the same old errors. Bottom
line: the reason I say I am up and limping is that to now receive quote
updates, I must delete the Internet Temp Files in IE6 first. MS could
not tell me why nor suggest a fix. But, it's at least a workaround
until something better comes along.

FWIW,I can set Mozilla 1.5 as the system default browser and experience
the same set of symptoms. By clearing the cache, I get a successful
download once.

At least with IE6 you can set the option to empty temp internet files
each time the browser is closed (Properties/Advanced/Empty Temp Internet
Filess...) so it should allow an update without manually clearing it
provided you haven't surfed first.

If I weren't so sick and tired of trying to figure this one out, I'd
begin to look at IE's Prpoerties/General/Temporary Internet
Files/Settings/View Objects. I suspect there is some object (Yahoo
Chat? Shockwave? Who knows?) that's at the heart of this. I'll have
more time to dig into it in a few days.

If you find something at the root of your system's difficulty, please
post it. I hope this helps.

Good luck,

Blue

When you look at InternetUpdates-> ReadCallSummaryMessages, What does
it say after "Quotes, News and Exchange Rates"?

Is that "never" since like last thursday, or never like never? There
have been some problems the past few days.

When asked to update stock prices online with the stock
symbols checked as required, it goes through the motions
and says that it has updated but the prices never change.
