[For Italians] Salvage utility not working on Money 2000 ITA?

Sorry guys for posting a specific italian question, but as you
probably know here in Italy we are stuck at localized version 2000 and
apparently Microsoft no longer supports the product. Frustrating.
Anyway Money 2000 does more or less what I need.

Trying to add a new account I get the error message "Money could not
write to your Money file. The operation could not be performed or
another application finished this task before you. Please try again."
(of course the italian version :-) )
I am trying to run the salvage utility with the command
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money\System\Msmoney.exe" -s <my file>
but apparently Money starts without performing any repairing.

Am I doing something wrong or does the salvage utility simply not work
on localized versions of Money ?

Many thanks in advance.

It should work - the KB article on salvage
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;182608) doesn't
mention whether you should put the name of a Money file on the end of the
salvage command, so just try

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money\System\Msmoney.exe" -s

It will pick up the last file opened.

I did, but Money loads without apparently performing the check.
That's why I was wondering if the salvage utility works at all in the
ITA localisation...

how about using a command prompt, changing directory to the Microsoft Money
system directory and running msmoney.exe -s ?

I tried and get a message like "Recovering file..." (I'm translating).
If it should work like this, I think we got it.

Thanks Enrico
