Windows 10: MS Money and IE compatibility problem

I have used MS Money for years and, although I realise it's now discontinued, it meets my needs and has worked well up until the upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10.

It now fails to start and states it requires IE 6 to work, although I'm sure that's an old error message. It has always worked fine with IE 10 but not now with IE 11. Any suggestions? Is it possible to "downgrade" IE 11 back to 10?





Cheers,

:)

 

MS Money Plus will not work in Windows 10 claims it needs IE 6

MS Money Plus will not work in Windows 10. It claims it needs IE 6. Compatibility was no help. What to do?

 

Microsoft Money

There have been other posts on MS Money and I use it myself. The main problem was it expected IE 6 and when it didn't find it would shutdown. It doesn't sound like you have that problem. What version of Money are you using. (might help other suggest a fix)
My only suggestion is running it in compatibility mode.

Right click the shortcut you use to start Money and select Properties. Select the Compatibility tab and try select your previous OS in the compatibility setting. You can also try Run as Administrator.

 

Found this on Microsoft support site

After much searching I have found this works for me

MS Money (MoneyDlxSunset) has worked with following registry change.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer]
"Version"="9.11.10240.0" (originaly: 9.11.10240.16384)
I'm not sure about side effect by this change. registry change is at own risk.



It didn't work the 1st time but tried it again later and all's now OK.

 

Spoke too soon. The program starts but crashed when trying to import a .qif file from my bank. When I restart it crashes again immediately because the import process has'nt completed.

 

I have spent about a week trying all that was researched on the issue.

First, updating the registry does fix one part of the problem. You must change the following that will work

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer]
"Version"="9.11.10240.0" (originaly: 9.11.10240.16384)

or

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer]
"Version"="9.11.10240.1638" (originaly: 9.11.10240.16384)

Secondly, you MUST replace the MS Money .dll with the update patch that works perfectly in Windows 10.

See link and download the patch but delete the old MNY0B99.dll first

mnyob99.dll patch | Ameridans Microsoft Money Offline Weblog

Download the patch "here" and copy to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Money Plus\MNYCoreFiles\MNYOB99.DLL

After completing this, there was no experienced Windows 10 crashes. After importing bank statement, all worked as usual.

Hope this help those many that love MS Money! Now back in business!
