    - Tomorrow! Tomorrow! Tomorrow! This is when M$ says a fix will be posted. When is Tomorrow! Tomorrow! Tomorrow! As you say a fix was posted in the UK today. Isn't that Tomorrow! Tomorrow! Tomorrow! in Redmond. Can't they even fathom the concept of geography and time. Oh, maybe those files are secured by Passport also. Tag: MS Money 2004 Tag: 171643

    - Sign In Solution Worked The fix worked. Many thanks to those who worked long, late hours on this. There were some intermediate questions you get asked during the process, such as, "Do you also want to clear your online banking passwords" (I said "No", and that seemed to work ok.) It might be helpful to provide a bit more detail of what to expect, and guidance on how to answer the questions. Also, perhaps Microsoft needs to rethink the architecture of how Passport interacts with Money. Maybe like a secondary password that would allow at least local access in case Passport gets garbled again. Tag: MS Money 2004 Tag: 171642

    - PASSWORD Issue I cannot get into my Money file. I have been effected by the problem this week. It appears to have wiped out my passwords. After I managed to resolve the NET.PASWORD issue Money 2004 then asked for the file password (it was protected but was never asked for). I can no longer get in as the password I thouhgt it was is not valid. I may have not remembered the password. Now I cannot get my money information. I have tried system restore and a previous back up but they all want the passworrd. I have tried what i think it was but no luck. Can anybody HELP Tag: MS Money 2004 Tag: 171638

    - I can access my files but there's a problem I was able to access my money file and restore my backup from the 26th which was the last day I was able to access it. Everything is fine except for one strange thing. All of my balances for all of my accounts are about $628,743,688,565,700.00. Everywhere that a balance is shown in the program it has a number that is almost the same, within $100.00. When I click on the Account List icon, next to subtotal for my bank accounts and credit accounts it displays: ##err##. How the heck do I fix this? All of the information in each account is correct for deposits and withdrawals, but's it's kind of nice to know my balances. I have a backup from 1 or 2 weeks ago I can use, but don't want to lose everything since that backup. Any help on fixing these screwy balances would be apprecciated. Tag: MS Money 2004 Tag: 171633

    - Frustrating problem with adding funds .... 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 ?? / Ola Tag: MS Money 2004 Tag: 171632

    - budget and investments Buying funds etc. is treated as an expense from the budget point of view, since investment accounts are out of budget. I don't think it is correct. How do you manage this? If I save $1000 this month and decide to buy a shares etc. the budget planner tells me that my expenses are to high... how can I tell to it that this is NOT an expense? Thank you!! Tag: MS Money 2004 Tag: 171631

    - Sign in solution is availble Redmond, July 18, 2004, 22:00 PDT I'm sorry that this post is so late, and I know that folks are frustrated with the lack of communication. We have been on the verge of good news all afternoon (and evening), and it is here. I'm happy to announce that we have published a solution to the sign-in problem. Users that have been unable to use the passwords or work with their files offline should follow the directions at: http://sync.money.msn.com/help/pss/w1.asp I know that there are additional questions, which I have answered below. Q1: What happened with our passwords? A1: On Monday, one of our servers was updated and inadvertently pointed to the wrong location to verify authentication. The authentication process worked perfectly - we caused the problem by looking in the wrong server location. This mistake only affected Money services. (If you think of your login information as a key, and our servers as a lock, then we changed the lock on the safe, and the old key wouldn't work anymore. There is no way for the user [or anybody else] to create working login information. The good news is that nobody could open the local file because of this mistake at any time; your information is still protected.) We corrected the "wrong server location" problem Tuesday morning, and users who did not login between late Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning should be able to use their files normally. Those who were affected may continue to be affected, however, since Money downloaded some of the garbled information from our servers. (Basically, we made a copy of the lock on your local file. Why did we do this? Because when you change the lock yourself, you don't want the old key to continue working on your local file. You also wouldn't want there to be an easy way for somebody on your machine to ignore the change in the locks. Of course, we will look at this scenario to see if we could solve it without decreasing security in the future.) This situation has not caused any violation of our users' privacy, and our online services have continued to be available. Q2: How does the fix work? A2: We have carefully recreated the incorrect environment of Monday evening and a Web page to access it. The web page will allow affected users to login with their current information and recover the lock information that has locked them out. This will allow them to unlock their file. It is important to note that users who changed their password should use their new password, and that no user will be able to access the lock information for another user. Again, this solution does not violate our users' privacy. We are using your login information to restore the lock to your unique key. Users who have been unable to access their local files should open a web browser to http://sync.money.msn.com/help/pss/w1.asp and follow the directions on that page. Q3: Why did it take so long? A3: We have addressed the problem in stages. Our first efforts were to restore the correct configuration of our servers, while preserving the state they were in for investigation. Then, we started a careful investigation of the impact on users. Naturally, we are very careful when dealing with users' login information and follow strict procedures to protect their privacy. We have identified three different states that users' files can be in, and we worked on fixes for all of them. We realize that it was important that the fix be thorough. At all times we were working as directly and hard as possible at getting a solution out to the affected users as soon as possible. Q4: What if I still can't access my file? A4: You should send email to mnyngsup@microsoft.com. Q5: Was this Passport's fault? A5: No. Passport was working correctly, and always did work for access to our online services, such as MSN Bill Pay. The issue relates to Money's server interactions with local Money files. Q6: Why does Money use Passport for the local file? A6: We use Passport for a number of web services at Microsoft, including financial web services that we offer through Microsoft Money. Since the local file can access these services, the file needs to be protected as well. For ease of use, we use the same system, Passport, to protect access to the local file. Users that do not use the web services do not have to use Passport for the local file. -Russ Paul-Jones MSN Money Tag: MS Money 2004 Tag: 171620

    - Money '04 lock out I'm surprised by the tone of many of these posts--it's as if people are empathetic with MSFT on this Money fiasco. There is no doubt here; MSFT really screwed up on multiple counts, the first not telling us exactly what is going on. How many of you spent hours trying to logon, search the MSFT knowledge database for a solution, call up their service center, etc? For instance, why don't they have a bulletin on their Money support site explaining what is going on?? They don't want to publicize this issue? At the expense of all of thier customers that are trying to figure out what's going on?? That is quite poor customer support--inexcusable. I'm just pissed that I ever signed up for the useless .net passport thing in the first place-- I can't wait to disable this feature as soon as I can access my Money file....which will be when???????? Midday tomorrow? We'll see.... Tag: MS Money 2004 Tag: 171617

    - PASSPORT PROBLEM FROM A NON-USER I am sorry to read about all the problems users are having with interfacing to Money. I remember a few years ago when passport was first offered on Money. It took quite awhile to get them to stop bothering me to sign up. Since I use AOL I didn't want another email and I certainly didn't want everything interfaceing with my personal financial data on the internet. Since I had no need to have my Money data anywhere but on my home computer I stayed away, and I sure am glad I did. I get everything I want from Money by using the software without all the automatic uploads and downloads. I decide when I want a stock update and that's about the only thing I download on a regular basis. I manually input my data. No big deal and I know it is right, not conflicting with my bank's database. The product is great for me. I've used it for almost 9 years now. Lots and lots of great history there and fortunately I am able to control what I get. I back-up the (now) 3 disks every week. Sure I have a CD Rom, but I got a 3 1/2 disk drive on my new Dell computer just for Money. I wish all you passport users a quick fix to your problem. Sometimes simpler is better.

    - 401k contributions problem I am a recent college grad and just started tracking my money from my new job with MS money. I have a 401k account, which I set up to download from the internet its current worth. However, when I enter my paycheck, I enter the amount that is removed from it each paycheck period to go into my 401k as contributions. The problem is that money adds the contributions separately than the downloaded worth, so effectively it lists that I have twice as much in my 401k than I actually do. Any way to have the contributions deducted from the paycheck entry (for tracking purposes) go into my 401k as regular contributions and then be verified when the online statement gets downloaded instead of it getting added to it? Thanks... Tag: MS Money 2004 Tag: 171559

    - Bi-weekly vs Monthly Budgets Recently, I started getting paid every 2nd week, instead of once per month. My budget was set up on a monthly basis, and worked well. Now, I want to change to a bi- weekly budget because of the income change. For example, groceries was $500 per month, but now I am setting it up as $500 every 4 weeks. This means that my budget period will not always start at the beginning of the month, which seems to mess up the 'Review you current budget status' page. For example, my new budget period was to start July 29th, so I should have $500 available for groceries. However, the budget status shows that the groceries I bought today put me over the budgeted limit for the month of July because it takes the $500 amount, multiplies by 13 periods, then divides by 12 to get a monthly average. Long story, but is there a way to tell MS Money to start new budgets every 4 weeks? I have Money 2003 Canadian Ed. Thanks Tag: MS Money 2004 Tag: 171557

    - possible cause of the sign on problem I am very concerned that the information we are being given from Microsoft may not be entirely true. After 3 days of this product not working, I am becoming very skeptical and believe there may be a bigger problem than what Microsoft is leading on. I have become nervous that the potential problem might lie in the Money and the Money Services not being Y2k compliant. Does anyone else suspect this? If it were just a simple data problem as we have been led to believe, would microsoft not have fixed it in 3 days. I think some major rewriting of the code is being completed to fix the flaw in the software. Let me know if I am on the wrong path, I am just really nervous and upset about not being able to get to my financial data. I am having trouble sleeping and eating with the thought of all my data being gone forever. I have several accounts with hundreds of dollars and cents that I need to access. Someone please calm me down. Is there hope?! Alex Tag: MS Money 2004 Tag: 171546

All of the sudden a few days later, when I do a online update it tells me I have several transactions to look at. When I go to the account, it don't show any new transactions. Whats up with that?

    - shameful Software errors happen. But I think it's shameful that MS does not notify their customers anywhere on the Money support web pages that there is a problem. I've spent a lot of time trying to figure this out, only to discover that the problem is on their side, and they're well aware of it. I had to dig into the newgroups to figure this out. I'm a tech-savvy guy, and I feel bad for all the customers who wouldn't know to check the newsgroups. This has happened before (with a bad XP patch they issued back in November (caused double-scrolling in Outlook Express and IE)). If they are aware of a problem, they should notify their customers, and not hide it. Tag: MS Money 2004 Tag: 171485

    - Using client software I specifically and consciously chose to use client software (rather than a web site) to consolidate my financial data. My goal was to have the data (and manipulations thereof) accessible whether I was on-line or off-line; to have private consolidation of all the data rather than on a server in the sky somewhere; and, to have local control. All this has been thwarted. I have backups from every month going back a full calendar year on duplicate PCs and none of the data is accessible. If I had any idea that using Passport for on-line authentication could impact my ability to get to my own client software and associated data, I would never have used it. This is more than a straightforward software error. The mere fact that this could occur is an extremely unwelcome surprise. Tag: MS Money 2004 Tag: 171477

    - £££ This is class!!so easy to make quick money legallly £££ MAINTAIN DISCIPLINE, HONESTY AND PATIENCE...Above all else FOCUS! Please follow the EXACT instructions and you will be rewarded. I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it: A little while back, I was browsing through news groups and e-mails just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you can make thousand of pounds within weeks with only an initial investment of £6.00. So I thought, "yeah right, this must be a scam," but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send £1.00 to each of the six names and addresses stated in the article. You then place your own name and address on the bottom of the list and post the article in at least 200 news groups. {There are thousands}. No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured, "What have I got to lose; except six stamps and £6.00 right, right?" Then I invested the measly £6.00. WELL GUESS WHAT?........Within seven days, I started getting money in the mail I was in awe. I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week I made about £47.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of more than one thousand pounds. In the third week I had considerably more than the previous week and it is still growing! This is my fourth week and I have made a few thousands and it is still coming rapidly. It is certainly worth the six-quid investment and six stamps, believe it or not I have spent more on lottery with no returns. Let me explain how this works and most important, why it works.....Also, make sure you print this article out NOW, so you can get the information. STOP NOW: Print this article out so you can get the information you need off of it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly and are completely HONEST you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy. Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully, and follow the simple directions and watch the money come in. It is easy, It is legal, and your investment is only £6.00 plus postage. Important: This is not a rip-off, it is decent, it is legal; and it virtually without risk it really works! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE: Please follow the directions EXACTLY, and 50-thousand-pounds or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become a part of the Mail Order business. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, this money made from the mailing lists is secondary to income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included on that list. Here Are The Four Easy Steps To Success: Get six (6) separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper. "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Dont forget to include your name and address!Now get six (6) U.K.£1.00 coins and place One inside of Each of the six pieces of paper so the coin will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery).Next, place one paper in each of the six envelopes and seal them with the pound coin enclosed. You now should have six sealed envelopes each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase with your name and address written thereon [don't forget to enclose the £1.00]. What you are doing is creating a service-THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it. Clearly, I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. Therefore, I checked it out with the U.K. Postal Service and they confirmed that it is indeed legal. Mail the six envelopes to the following addresses: [1] Mr .M. Blackburn 14 Mafeking Place, London, E15 2PW UK [2] Yvonne Edgely P.O. Box 8071 Bloomington, W1 2SP [3] J. Doughington The Grove, New Barnet Herts, EN4 8AG UK [4] Michael Fortarna 29 Yew Greave Crescent Sheffield, S.Yorks, S5 9AW UK [5] Hussain Attah 103 Village Drive Leeds, LS10 1JU UK [6] D.Dullisear 7 Limpsfield Avenue wimbledon, London SW19 6dl Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (six becomes 5, and 5 becomes 4, and etc.) and add YOUR NAME as number 6 on the list. Change anything you need to but try to keep this article as close to the original as possible. Now post your amended article to at least 200 news groups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups). All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! This is perfectly legal. If you have any doubts, refer to #####le 18 Section 1302 & 1341 of the Postal Lottery Laws. Keep a copy of these directions for yourself and whenever you need money you can reuse it again. Please Remember: That this program remains successful because of the HONESTY AND INTEGRITYof the participants and by their carefully adhering to directions. Look at it this way, if you are of integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way. If you try and cheat the system I can guarantee you will the trend will be picked up and you will not make half as much as you would doing this the proper and legal way. NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. Also, it is a good practice to wrap the £1.00 coin in dark paper to avoid the risk of mail theft. So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, all members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one pound each. Your name will be moved up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving Thousand of Dollars in Cash! What an opportunity for only six-pounds (£6) one-pound (£1!) for each of the six people listed above. Send it now, add your own name to the list and you are in business. Directions on How To Post To News Groups: You do not need to retype this letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select copy from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer's memory. Open a blank notepad file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the edit menu select paste. This will paste a copy of the letter into the notepad so that you will add your name to the list. Save your new notepad file as a text File, if you want to do your posting in different settings, you will always have this file to go back to. Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various new groups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions). Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You are finished You have finished your first posting. Congratulations! THAT'S IT. All you have to do is jump news groups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each news group. ***REMEMBER THE MORE NEWS GROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!*** IT IS A MUST FOR YOU TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200. "That's It" You will begin receiving money from around the world within days. You may eventually want to rent a P.O. Box due to the heavy volume of mail you will be receiving. If you wish to remain anonymous you can adopt another name to use, if it agreeable with the postman to deliver the mail. MAKE CERTAIN THAT ALL ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT. Now the Why part: Assume for example you get a 7.5% return, which is very conservative. Please view the following estimated breakdowns Estimated breakdowns: When you mail 200 letters, 15 people will send you £1.00 Those 15 mail out 200 letters, 225 people will mail you £1.00 Those 225 mail out 200 letters, 3,375 people will mail you £1.00 Those 3,375 mail out 200 letters, 50,625 people will mail you £1.00 Those 50,625 mail out 200 letters, 759,375 people will mail you £1.00 By now your name has dropped off the list, but so far you have received at least £759,375. With an original investment of only £6.00 [plus postage]. AMAZING! WHAT IF YOU ARE IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES? This is of no matter whatsoever, aslong as the rules are adhered to. You can change the foreign currency you recieve at a later date, just make sure when posting abroad you remeber to send it via air mail envelopes. It's as easy as that, no matter where you are you will be able to share this tip and spread shared wealth throughout. When your name is no longer on the list, you take the latest posting in the news groups, and send out another £6.00 to names on the list, putting you name at number six [6] again. And start posting again. You have to remember and realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the Internet and reading these articles every day, JUST LIKE YOU right now. So you can get £6.00 and see if it really works. People have said, "What if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest people who are joining every day and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20 to 50-thousand new users, everyday, with thousands of those joining the actual Internet. Remember, play FAIRLY AND HONESTLY and this will really work. Sincerely, Your friend.
