Again, you don't normally restore when moving between versions.
Check Help About and make sure that the Money 2005 version is 14.0.*.1105.
Then use Windows Explorer or My Computer to navigate to your .mny file and
double click on the file name. This will start M2005 and convert your file.
Unless you want to use the MSN features decline offers to input a passport
(and password come to that).
The reason for doing it this way is to eliminate any peculiarities that may
be introduced by importing or restoring. It is the "normal" upgrade route
and will make it easier to help if you have any problems.
