It sounds like your Money Program has been damaged. I searched my computer
for this file and I don't have it. My copy of Money works perfectly. I
suggest reinstalling Money after a PROPER uninstall and hopefully addressing
the inevitable Windows problems this will cause with a top-notch diagnostic
utility like Norton System Works (I'm thinking Norton WinDoctor).

For your sake, I hope their is no damage to other Windows files and that you
back up your Money file to a Floppy religiously, since this is what you
would want to "restore from back up ) after a clean reinstall of Money.
Lets hope that there's no damage to your hard drives (surface damage).

If not, this should do it.

Do you have "mbf4373" somewhere having kept more than one backup
file? Try doing a search for "*.mny *.mbf" to see if you have a
fairly recent Money file or backup you have forgotten.

You may also have success with salv.exe on the .mny file.

Please help

After a shutdown of my PC due to a power supply blackout,
(and I was working in Money 2003), when I restarted the PC
and Money I got the message
money has detected that you did not close the
file "mbf4373" before exiting

Neither the money file or the backup kept in hard disk can
be restored.(as the pop us say are corrupt)

Does anybody know the message and is there a solution?
Kind regards
Elias
