Windows 10: Microsoft Money not working in build 10240

I used to use Microsoft Money, went to Quicken when Money was EOL'd, suffered through Quicken's operational problems, poor support and extortionate upgrade price structure, but loved how it integrated with TurboTax and how easy it was to work with on those occasions when it actually worked. But, Quicken is making noise about evolving into a cloud-based subscription service. The cloud doesn't bother me so much, but I'm not fond of software subscriptions.

Now I use Gnucash. Learning to use it is a flat-out grind, but once over that it works well and they don't charge for it. Can't say it's free because of the time and effort to get it going is a definite cost. I personally think it was worth it, but not everyone will agree. Once thing people can agree on is that the UI is very functional, but butt-ugly (probably because it's functional).

Anyone tried MoneyDance, lately?

 

[/QUOTE]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.[/QUOTE]



I did this regedit change and for the first few days it worked. But now when I try to enter a transaction, a window pops up saying Windows has to close this program. *Mad
I can't live without a checkbook on my computer. Is there any compatible checkbook manager software that is compatible with Win 10? If there isn't, I may just switch back to 8.1 although I do like Win 10 otherwise.
Please somebody help me to get a suitable replacement? *Think

 

Windows updated last night - Microsoft Money now working normally! *Smile

 

I have Money working with the registry hack. Can anyone else confirm that it is now working without editing the registry?

 

Are you saying that it's working normally without a registry hack? Without patching the dll file? And if so, have you tried other functions, such as downloading an OFX file from your bank? Thanks.

 

I used to use Money but my bank stopped supporting it, I had to move to Quicken, it was forced on me. One thing I hate are their forced updates, they give you some leeway each year, but mainly you have to buy a new version on a yearly basis.

I liked Money cos it was simple, I had data from 1996 to 2003 or so, but when my bank moved to Intuit, I had to give it all up.

The fixes in this thread should accommodate you, good luck!

 

I did the registry hack and MS Money worked fine until I downloaded information from my bank, then it stopped working fine. *Sad Replacing the MNYOB99.DLL with the patched DLL file fixed the import problem and it is working fine again. Raymond Chen did a good job, MS should hire him.

I feel like I am driving an old Model-T waiting the next thing to give out.

 

That's great that it is working fine (at least for now) with the DLL file patch. If you could please post back over the next couple of weeks, that would be great. I have read all about the registry hack and DLL patch, but I've been hesitant to try it. And I want to see how Windows Updates (at least in the short term) affect all of this in Win10. If it continues to work, I may try the registry hack and DLL patch myself in the next few weeks. Thanks.

 

MS Money Sunset is still working great for me. *Cool

 

I registered just to thank you guys for this fix! Just updated to 10 from 8.1 and was about to revert when Money Sunset version crashed whenever I tried to create a new payee.
First I applied the registry hack for the Version key, rebooted and Money still crashed.
Then I read through the whole thread and also changed the value for the W2kVersion key and applied the patched dll.
Rebooted and all is well now.
I have not tried to import any files 'cause it's nothing I do in normal operation. Although I have not gone through every function of the program at least the checkbook part works again.
Love these forums!!

 

Thanks for posting back *Smile

 

Using 2007 Home & Business Sunset. I have spent over 10 hrs. trying to find the correct fix, including purchasing Quicken and importing 15 years of data into that monster. What a nightmare, but the learning curve to use Quicken vs. continuing to find a Money fix brought me back to my efforts to repair Money. Ultimately, replacing the .dll resolved the issue of crashing. The crash always would occur once the program was fully loaded. Many thanks to Raymond Chen and Ameridan for providing links to the rewritten .dll and step by step instructions.

 

Damn- i had no trouble importing about 15 years worth of data into quicken, you have to start the import from a day you knew the exact balance. You can use a bank sratement for that.. After i reconciled the account i made an immediate backup. Thats the trick with quicken.. Back it up daily, before you do anything else.. They also kind of force updates on you, i ran quicken 2010 for over 2 years until it stopped getting updates from my bank. I'd use money, but my bank stopped supporting it.. The only problem with quicken i ever had though was with quicken 2015, an update added a password i never had.. Thats what the backups are for, i do them daily now. You restore the backup and then sync your account, then back it up again. That way if an update unexpectedly adds or changes you password you can restore and move on.. The one thing i like is that i can sync to my ipad, two iphones, and a droid tablet all at once.
