I've been running Money (UK version) for over 10 years and have been using the 2005 version successfully. Against my better judgement I decided to install the sunset version, as I was having some problems with Help files no longer being available. On trying to open my money file, I was firstly told that I couldn't open it because my Windows Live ID was incorrect. I sorted this out by changing the password several times and then going back to the original one. However, I was then told that the *.mny file would be upgraded to a new format and a backup copy made. This failed to happen because I was then told the file was a read only file or I didn't have permission to open it. I have completely uninstalled the sunset version and reinstalled Money 2005, but I'm still coming up with the same error message. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to persuade Money to open the file it was using until 24 hours ago?
I don't know if anyone from Microsoft ever patrols these sites, but I would just point out that this is probably the single most useful program I have ever used and I cannot think why it was axed.
