sorry, forgot to post that I'm running on 2000 Professional, if that would
make a difference

On reading the unnofficial FAQs for the newsgroup through a websearch for a
solution to my problem, it sounds like I may have no hope, but didn't
address my specific problem so I thought I'd see if anyone had a clue as to
what I should do.

Upon opening M2001 last night, it crashed and said (I believe) msmoney.exe
must shut down as it experienced a fatal error (I was only trying to open
the program) it has done it a few times before, but upon reopening the
program it will open my money file and work fine.
This time, when I reopened it told me that I had not properly closed the
file the last time I had had it open (of course I couldn't it crashed) and
it would subsequently verify to make sure all the pieces are there, or
something like that.
It then locks about 1/4 of the way through the process and I have to use
ctrl-alt-del task manager to end the task to get money closed...
Is there any way to bypass this process? I tried installing the M2004 trial
thinking it may help, but the repair tool hangs as well. I have a backup,
but it's a couple months old, I know I should be backing up more often, I
was just wondering if it's possible to restore the old file somehow by
bypassing the verification process.
Thanks in advance for anyone who can possibly help!
