Anyone else got ideas?īy the way, I tried running the various MS Money repair jobs on my Money File.if I'm quick enough I seem to be able to get them going before it crashes. Make a copy of my backup from a few months back, then remove maybe 5 years worth of the oldest data, and download my latest data to get it back up to date? I'm not sure how you'd easily remove say all data in my file between 2000 & 2005. Or another example where I need a new lid for my outdoor jacuzzi.I can use Money to easily find out where I bought my last one and when (6 years ago it turns out!), and how much I paid back then.Īnyway.I'm wondering what to do. In Money all I have to do is go to "Transactions by Category" and choose my "Tax Return Fees" category and there it is. When all this happened, I decided it was finally time to kick my MS Money addiction.but I'm having serious withdrawals.I've come to realise how much I rely on the program.for example it's time to do my tax and I think "How much did I pay that accountant last year".if I use my IB online to find out, I have to remember when I paid him, what the company's billing name was, that sort of thing. So it's either data that's corrupted in Money recently, or as I say some kind of curious size limitation I might have hit. What's interesting is if I go back to a backup of my money file from a few months back, and use it for a while, the program never crashes. I assume it's the stuff running in the background to produce the pie chart that pops up on the home page. I ignored it for a while, but now it crashes soon after opening, regardless of what I click.or even if I click nothing. It started only when I'd choose "Transactions by Category", even though "Transactions by Payee" in Reports would work ok. Now all of a sudden I seem to have hit some kind of limit that's causing Money to crash. I have been using MS Money since 2000 to download all my banking transactions and categorise/reconcile them etc.
I've been using MS Money Sunset on Windows 10 (final public release) without any issues. Microsoft have responded quickly to this need of their customers of yesteryear and they should be complimented on the speed at which this has been achieved.
Of course there is now the issue of bringing the computer back to where I had progressed but for me this will simply reinforce how to use Win10 so nothing lost really, only time. (Some folk have found a problem with this) I verified that the download facility from banks worked. Now I reinstalled Money 2001.Ĭlicking on Money, it started and I loaded my money data.
I then un-installed Money 2001 and ran Windows Update. Rebooted and found Money 2001 was all ready installed.
I used the restore point before the update of 11 August. Message disappears, computer 'thinks' and returns to desktop. etc?' (Not the exact words but you know the one!) I clicked YES. Message 'Do you want this unknown programme to make changes to your computer. I checked my registry was set to 0.16384 and tried to load Money 2001. Hope this helps others, though most will be happy if the registry hack is working and won't know of the update I explain below what happened and how I got things to work. Very helpful and all is well now.Īll did not go smoothly though. GnuCash tracks a variety of account types, stocks, income, and expenses.Weeble, thank you for you two posts above.
