The good news is that the registry patch allows me to run Microsoft Money instead of crashing on startup. However, one problem still exists. I do have a workaround.
If I am entering an item in an Account register that has a new "Payee", Money crashes as soon as I leave the "Payee" field. My workaround is to add the new "Payee" as follows: Banking -> Categories & Payees -> View: Payees -> New and then add the new Payee. Although this is completely manageable, I was wondering if anyone has a fix so that the New Payee can be added while entering the transaction in an Account Register.
