This issue is driving me crazy - suddenly my Money 2005 UK immediately shuts down after starting.
The error message goes something like "We were unable to load a required library autoupdate.dll. Error code: 0x0000045a". I have only recently switched to Windows 7 but MS Money was working happily up to a couple of weeks ago (cannot pinpoint the issue as I only run MS Money once a month)
I've been searching for a solution so long I remember the message and error code off by heart :-(
I have tried EVERYTHING remotely suggested including:
- reinstalling MS MONEY (Money2005-UK-QFE2.exe); I have even tried the International version - same thing happens.
- running in compatability mode (Windows XP SP2 and others)
- running as administrator (and all combinations with above)
- copying the autoupdate.dll to Windows system folder, registering the dll
- Running in sandbox
- numerous others (regret to say I even tried a couple of those registry fix programs - don't do this!!!!)
Nothing has worked and unfortunately I am still reliant on MS Money (heck I just love it)
If anyone has an idea please post your suggestion and I will try it out - and hopefully one day soon repost my experience with the fix.
