Firstly why did you buy M2007 when M2008 aka Money+ is released?
Correct way to upgrade in any version is to install the new version, then
navigate to where your .mny file lives and double click on the file name.
This will start Money and also remember where you found the .mny file.
With Vista there are extra steps. Vista has very strong views about "good"
places to keep data and Program Files is not one of them. You need your .mny
file in Documents/My Documents or anywhere where Vista says you have full
access. As Program Files is restricted if you open your .mny from there
Vista will make a transient copy and when you close, will delete it thus
losing your updates!
First time you run Money under Vista you need to right click the .exe or
icon and select Run as Administrator.
