If you set up the computer, or it came from the manufacturer already
set up with the current user, you are probably an administrator.
Only if somebody at your work or who administrates your machine set
it up for you, would you be using a user account. So I think that is
not your problem.
You referred to odd things, which was a bit generic. ;-)

That we can solve if you or a friend is knowledgeable about making
changes in the registry.
In the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Money\8.0,
you probably have something such as "AVHelpPath"="F:\MONEY\avhelp"
or whatever. So the AVHelpPath probably refers to your CD drive.
If you are adept at editing the registry, you can change the
reference to refer to your hard drive rather than your CD drive.
If you are not adept at that, find a friend who is. The path need
not actually exist on the hard drive.
