Arrrrgh! I'm so frustrated!

Every now and then, my hard drive gets wiped out, and I have to re-install
Money 5.0 from scratch. The last time it happened, I had to follow some
incredibly arcane procedure to get Checkfree to work again. Now, almost a
year later I'm doing it again, but I can't remember the procedure.

I have a COMPLETE backup of the ENTIRE Money directory tree, including my
.mny file. When I go to connect to online services, the dialog pops up:

"Money needs you to confirm that your Online Services setup information is
correct. Before you continue using Online Services, go to the Home Banking
place, click Select Online Services on the Accounts tab, and complete the
Online Services Setup Wizard"

Of course, the "Select Online Services" button on the "Accounts" tab is
perpetually grayed out (I remember stumping a few Checkfree customer
service people with that one the last time! "Grayed out?.... er....hmmph")

I've been through the Microsoft Knowledge Base, but can't seem to find an
article that solves the problem. I understand that this is a known problem
with 5.0, but why hasn't it been corrected with a patch yet? I don't have
time to waste on this: my wife is angry, I can't pay the bills, the kids
are screaming. Can't anyone tell me what to do before I have a nervous
breakdown?

Thank you for any assistance!

Of course, the "Select Online Services" is forever greyed out, and I can't
get anywhere. I've been through the Knowledge Base, but can't find a
procedure that works. Can someone tell me what to do before I uninstall
the whole mess and by a copy of Quicken? Or go back to writing paper
checks?

Thanks
