There is a good chance that your computer came with "free" software that you
think is useless to you and that you have already deleted from the laptop.
IMHO Money Essentials is in that category. Even if you can get it to work,
you will find it not very helpful. Buy Money Deluxe or Quicken, use an
existing spreadsheet or database program or continue to use the paper based
method of money management that you have used in the past. Save yourself
the frustration of this useless product.
