Change country in Money 2005?

I had to reinstall Money 2005, and for some reason, it's now using
Canadian settings. (For example, the investments homepage is the
Canadian version, and currencies are prefixed with US$)

How do I switch it back to U.S. settings?

Windows Control Panel says "United States"
Base currency is "USD"

Thanks,
Mark

If you do Help > About what version number do you get? It should end in
1105.

It says: Version 14.0.50.1105.

I seem to remember it once popped up a dialog asking me if I wanted to
use U.S. or Canadian settings, but I can't recall how to produce that
dialog...

OK so you've got the patch download OK.

As you said in your original post, the N American version of Money uses
Regional settings in Control Panel to decide if it is US or Canadian.
Suggest you double check.

I have been advised by Support that you need to remove and reinstall Money
to get the US/Canada question.

I verified that my Regional settings were set to "English (United
States)" and "Location: United States"

I uninstalled and re-installed Money -- that didn't change anything.

This turned out to be the solution:

1. In "program settings", choose "update currencies."
2. It was already using USD as the base currency, so I switched it to
CAD. This brought up the elusive "Do you want to use U.S. or Canadian
settings?" dialog.
3. Restart the program. Now it will be using U.S. settings, but
Canadian currency.
4. Switch back to USD and restart Money again. Now it will be using
U.S. settings and U.S. currency.
