Some programs are backwards compatible and some are not. Some 32-bit programs will run well in a 64-bit operating system and some will not. This is a computing fact not limited to the world of Windows operating systems.

| | Re: Microsoft Money 2003 You have to run Money with elevated privileges to install updates. Right click on the link used to launch Money and select "Run as administrator". If Money updates you had installed previously on x64 XP are not installed in Vista, Money will think your data file is corrupted and crash or report errors. Also, your data file must be in your User area, not the Program Files area.

IF I was cynical I would say it is in microsoft's interests to make oler versions NOT compatible.. As it is, they have made many programs compatible, and your comment is not very helpfui.. |

| | Re: Microsoft Money 2003 You can browse for more information at http://money.mvps.org/faq/default.aspx but as far as I know it is only possible to access and export Money data from within a running instance of Money. There are Money newsgroups which are likely to give you more help: microsoft.public.money and microsoft.public.uk.money depending on your location.
