Does this fit your scenario?
"Money 2006 cannot convert a Money 98 or 99 file if you are running Money on
a Windows 9x OS.
It has to due with a potential security hole in the msjet35.dll (So Money
2006 no longer ships with that DLL)
Options for user:
1. Upgrade Windows to XP
2. Step upgrade to Money 2000 - 2005 and then Money 2006
3. Do the conversion on a different - XP - machine and then move the
converted file."
