I am in the process of re-installing my system after a bad driver update
experience :-( and I just finished re-installing Microsoft Money 2000.
Everything is back to how I had it before except tha each time I start it
up, it tells me there is no disk in my cd drive. I click cancel and it
continues fine but this is annoying. I have run across this problem before
and I hope someone here will remind me how to get rid of this annoyance.

Please no suggestings that I get Money 2005, this work fine for me.

In the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Money\8.0,
you probably have something such as "AVHelpPath"="E:\MONEY\avhelp"
or whatever. So the AVHelpPath probably refers to your CD drive.
If you are adept at editing the registry, you can change the
reference to refer to your hard drive rather than your CD drive.
If you are not adept at that, find a friend who is. The path need
not actually exist on the hard drive.

Thanks, I just deleted the AVHelpPath, "H:\MONEY\avhelp" in the registry and
that worked fine. :-) Glad I did not have to move all those avi files.
