What takes so long?

I don't use Money but I do use Portfolio Manager to manage up to 350 stocks I
own. It has always been SLOW SLOW SLOW since the downgrade from the previous
version but yesterday was ridiculous. I hadn't logged on for 1 week and when
I did it took 2 1/2 HOURS to update my portfolios. I have a cable modem and
windows xp. Any way to speed this process up?

You could uninstall the Deluxe portfolio and use the non-deluxe
portfolio. You would give up significant function, but you may find
it faster.

To try this out without uninstalling, you could try accessing your
portfolio from a different computer or from a non IE browser.

Actually, if you simply want to compare the differences: look up "Basic" in
the Help. There's a Switching between Deluxe and Basic Tools help topic. And
if you are are using the Basic tools in IE, there'll be a link to upgrade to
Deluxe if you want to go back.
