Money 2005: Can't Get Support

I tried to open an on-line ticket for the upgrade problems I am having
(2004-->2005), but the Microsoft site says "The Product ID number you
entered is not supported in the country that you have selected. You
may go back and choose another country or enter another Product ID
number."

I'm in the US. I selected "United States" and I purchased by d/l
direct from Microsoft.

BTW: Trying to report:

1) Cannot restore a backup unless I am connected to the internet.

2) When I started 2005, it converted from 2004 but lost quite a few
transactions.

3) The first time the s/w "updated" my accounts from the internet, it:

a) Duplicated many transactions in several accounts;
b) Made some of the duplicated deposits show as withdrawals;
c) Incorrectly applied additional splits to some stocks;
d) Created accounts with #1 and #2 appended;
e) Repeated application of a recurring bill.

Possibly more that I did not notice. Item 1 makes it difficult to go
back and look at the "pre-update" snapshoot on this laptop, since it
is not convenient to connect it to the internet.

I would call any 800 number of MS Support found on their web page, and
explain the problem. They would then direct you to the right department.

However, I hardly imagine what could they do on all those issues, other than
apologize for the inconvenience and tell you to either go over all the
inconsistencies and fix them manually, or start new Money file. What you
have described are actually bugs; how do you expect them to assist you?

If you are in the US, the support number is 425-454-
2030. They also have a paid assistance number: 800-936-
5700.
