Sorry for the duplicate messages. This was my first post
and didn't know how to navigate to more pages. Thank you
for your input re: Direct CD. I remember now I had some
problems on my old computer and the finger pointed at
Roxio. I'll take your good advice and steer clear and
find some other way to back up Money. Chuck

Quoting my reply from yesterday morning:
---
Many people, myself included, have found the reliability of the pre- Mt.
Rainier packet writing tools in general, and DirectCD in particular, less
than desired. (DirectCD disks showing up not readable, etc.) In addition,
Roxio software in general seems bug prone and relatively difficult to
maintain and fragile to application of Microsoft or other patches or just
simple changes in the environment. I once added some memory and couldn't
boot the machine until I booted from a CD and removed and reinstalled all of
Easy Coaster Creator.

Hopefully Microsoft will add Mt. Rainier support to XP in our lifetimes and
it will prove more reliable.

My Money backups are extremely important to me. I want the probability they
will be usable as high as I can possibly get it.

You are absolutely right. I gather you don't think too
much about Direct CD. Will you tell me why? Chuck

I'm betting your old computer had DirectCD or some similar packet writing
software and your new one doesn't. Truth be known, for the sake of your
data, that's probably a good thing.

I want to backup my money 2004 standard transactions to
Drive E (DVD/CD-RW burner).When I go to
Tools/Options/Backup, I delete the path that puts the
backup to drive C and enter "E:\My Money Backup" (without
quotes) and click ok. I get a window saying the path is
invalid. I used this method on my old computer and it
works great. When I would close out Money, the new
transactions would go straight to the E drive. What must I
do to have Money 2004 do the same thing? Any and all help
will be appreciated. Chuck
