Money 2005 Can't Delete Investments

I would like to delete old investment transactions even though they distort
net worth history etc. All goes ok until I get to an old options entry.
When the buy and sell entries are deleted the investment name becomes bold
(active) and it will not let me delete the "Investment". Worse yet, if I
try to Rename the option investment Money 2005 crashes!! When Money
restarts it was nice enough to have made the name change. But it is still
calling it an active investment. I would appreciate any ideas on solving
this issue. I have a whole bunch of old options investment/transactions
that clutter up the show all investments view.

I would go to the Investment Activities for that investment. See if
there are any remaining transactions. If so, you may be able to
delete them there.

Otherwise I would see http://umpmfaq.info/faqdb.php?q=104, and, if
that does not fix it, I would contact Microsoft.
