Ha ha. Doesn't matter any longer, but the trick was to copy disk one
put away the original and install from the copy. Whenever that kind o
thing became a problem you just made a fresh copy of disk one again.
Of course you had to able to PDF format a floppy disk first to hold
bit more. Me thinks was an anti pirate thing too. Ah, the old days.

My text still doesn't wrap correcty the words are broken. If anyon
knows what I'm doing wrong, please tell me

When I try to reinstall my copy of Money 97, it says that I have already
installed it too many times. It nags me about this with every single file
that is in the entire programs, so I have to push the button to ignore it
hundreds of times in order to get the software loaded.

I complained to Microsoft about this and they said that it is because I have
reinstalled the program too many times on too many different windows
installations. Apparently the floppy disk version records a counter of the
number of times the installation has been run, as some sort of an
anti-piracy thing.

I told them they could stuff it because their stupid Windows software is
what is so buggy that would require me to reinstall all of this crap so many
times, again and again. If Windows didn't keep crashing and having to be
reinstalled for one reason or another, I wouldn't be reinstalling the rest
of my software.

Of course, since then I've upgraded to Money 2000 and subsequently to Money
2003, both of which are on a CD-ROM which is read-only and thus it has no
way to tell how many times I've installed it.

Quicken sucks.

You can't even reinstall without a hassle and a secret code from the
that they won't give you on older versions.

My Money 2000 does all this just fine and as far as I know version
older than that are still working fine.

Intuit may grab a few extra bucks now on Quicken, Turbo tax, etc. Bu
when all their customers change to Money, TaxCut, etc., it will serv
them right.

This is my personal opinion and I have no official capacity here.
can't even figure out why my text doesn't wrap properly

Can someone tell me whether, or how often I must renew
Money, in order to use online services such as updating
mutual fund prices? I am thinking of switching from
Quicken, because they are starting to require me to
upgrade in order to keep the online services. Does Money
have the same requirement?

Thank you.
