Hi

I have a very strange problem. I am testing the trial
version of Money 2004 and it works great with my job
computer (win XP Pro).

When i tried it with my home coputer (Win XP Home) i have
got a strange problem.

When I add investments "Managed funds" and make
transactions like "buy" and "add shares" I can only enter
quantity and price with whole numbers, like 1, 2, 25, 43
and so on. I can not enter quantity and price with
decimals. For example when i enter a price of 8,20 Money
changes that to 82. When I enter a price of 43,24 (43
dollars and 24 cent)Money 2004 change that to 4,324 but
treats it like 4 thousand 3 hundred 24 dollars.

So the total value that Money sums to is should be
8,20 x 43,24 = 354 dollars 568 cent

Instead I get
82 x 4,324 = 354.568,00 dollars( I am rich !!!!!)

I have no problem with this at my my job computer.

How can I solve this issue ??

Check that your Regional Settings in Control Panel are correct.

Or use a period instead of a comma for the decimal point.
