Windows 10: MS money - transferring files

I had to have my hard drive replaced in my laptop. I have all the files from the old including the MS money files and their backups. I have reloaded MS money financial suite back onto my lap top using the same CD I had used previously. I am getting this error message when I try to open the files.

Money can not locate C: etc etc or can not open it, possibly because it is a read only file, or you do not have permission to change it or your disk drive is write-protected. I have checked the permissions of the files and they all seem in order. Can any one help? I think the version of MS money is pretty old, but it the same one I was using before?


Thanks.

MS Money in Windows 10

I've been using MS Money 2005 and just bought a new computer with windows 10. I want to load MS Money Sunset, but it tells me that I need internet explorer 7. Do you suggest that I follow the steps you've outlined prior to installing MS money in order
for it to download? Ore their other steps I need to do?

 

MS Money 2005 Update

There appears to be something odd with your installation. Other ideas:

1. Uninstall the offending Windows update, check Money operation then reinstall the update with Money closed
2. Recover from the last working backup - I use Macrium Reflect. Else try System Restore to an earlier date when Money was working
3. Do an in place repair install

Also peruse this forum and maybe post a question there https://social.microsoft.com/Forums/...me?forum=money

PS are you opening Money by clicking on a link to your money file or to msmoney.exe? If the former fails and msmoney.exe runs then you might have a corrupt money data file.

 

MS Money

I have been using MS Money Deluxe 2004 for years. I updated to the "Sunset" edition when MS elected not to continue with Money. I used the "Sunset" until December 2017 with no issues until the hard drive "died". I had the drive replaced but the vendor
was not able to transfer the program from the old drive to the new. I have tried to re-install 2004 but the program doesn't like Windows 10. I tried downloading from MS's website the "sunset" program but it does not like something. Any suggestions???
