There is a significant update to Microsoft Money that can download,
and it may make the conversion work. Let Money 2005 create an empty
Money file. Let updates occur.
Then do File->ConvertQuickenFile.
Rick Hess posted that in Quicken you can select File->Copy, and let
it make a copy of your file. This routine will, among other
things, defragment your file. Then convert the copy.
Change all custom types to standard Quicken types. Any custom type
will be converted to type Mutual Fund by Money.
Consider having a minimum of other things running when you do
the conversion in Money.

describes Clean boot etc.
If the above are not successful, consider Super-Validate in
Quicken. Hold Ctrl+Shift keys down during the Validate process.
However

warns of unneeded super-validate.

probably does not have new info for you, unless you would like to
consider QIF export/import.
