Good thing I get a full rebate on the cost of the program
because I can't get it to run - I quit - It's too much to
keep messing with and what you've suggested doesn't work -
so I will just stick with Quicken and Never switch to Money

I don't know if you can install Money on Win 2000 in safe mode, but
it would be fairly simple to try.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000...t/safemode.asp
describes a safe mode paper.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000...t_failsafe.htm
describes a method to get into safe mode.

http://support.microsoft.com/default...14&Product=mny
talks about some registry editing to delete Money references. While
your symptoms do not match the ones there, the techniques could be
of interest.

I have windows 2000

I just unistalled everything - I even did a search
for "money" on my C drive and deleted anything that was
associated with MS Money and I found some backup files on
the server and I deleted those and anything that had
anything to do (that I could identify) as MS Money and
then I unpluged the LAN and reinstalled and started up the
program and after about 3 seconds it shut down. This is
weird.

That's not nice.

I guess I would try the steps in
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;310560 for
selective startup or clean boot and then install to a new folder.

You don't have to be connected to a LAN to run Money. And it really
doesn't matter whether you're connected to a LAN or not when you
install, other than that it will make setting up your online services a
bit quicker.

Some subtly obvious (sorry!) things to think about:

1. When you installed M04, did you install it to your laptop's internal
hard drive (usually C?

2. Is your Money data file located on your laptop's internal hard drive?

That is what I tried when I reinstalled it without being
connected and it wouldn't work. It would start to run
about 3 seconds and then shut down.

I suggest you reinstall Money to a folder on your local computer.
"\Program Files\Money 2004" would be a good spot.

I can't run 2004 when I disconnect from my LAN at work
where I installed it. I tried to uninstall and reinstall
without the connection and deleting all associated files
that I could find and it still won't start. So I
reinstalled it again connected to the LAN and it works
fine. Am I forced to only use this program connected to
the LAN?
