I have a strange issue that just came out of the blue with logging in to my
file. The sign in page no longer shows my email address and password for
Windows Live ID which is the only way I have ever signed in. Instead it just
shows the file location and a password field. It will not accept any
password I have ever used. Is there some sort of bug with the program. I am
on my fourth version of Money and have never seen this before. Please help.
I am really afraid of losing 6 years of data. thanks.

Copy Sample.mny from your Money install folder to your Documents
folder. Open Money by opening that copy of Sample.mny. If that
works, I would restore a recent backup (*.mbf) file.

If you still have a problem what version of Money are you using, and
what OS are you using?

I'm not MC but this was helpful. I just experienced this issue for the first
time on a new PC. I'm running Vista x64.

I have almost the opposite. How can I get to back to the screen that just
prompts me for my password? Before 09/22/08, all I did was login to my
"off-line" version by selecting the MyMoneyPlus and typing my password. I
didn't (and don't) want to use the online updates, etc. I only ran it as a
"stand-alone" program on my HP laptop that uses Vista.

I am not sure what you want to do. Are you saying that Money no
longer asks for a password? Or are you saying that it does ask for
a password or LiveID (looks like an email address), and that you
don't want Money going out to access your online accounts
automatically.

At Tools->InternetUpdates->CustomizeUpdates there is a
UseAutomatedUpdates checkbox to control Automated Online Updates.
If the box is ticked, mnybbsvc.exe, the background banking service,
is run. If you open a Money file where the checkbox is cleared,
mnybbsvc.exe ends. You are able to select this even if there is no
LiveID on the file.

If you turn off Automated Online Updates, you could still trigger an
update of accounts by clicking. If you don't want that, disable all
of your accounts for online access.

Or is it something else that you are looking for?

You might have answered my question. I'll give that a shot tonight. I'm
having a problem when I attempt to start Money Deluxe Plus. A screen
appears, that had not appeared prior to 09/22/08 that asks me to "accept" the
Online Services Agreement and when I accept I get a message that the
Registration Library cannot be loaded. I saw an earlier post about Webroot
SpySweeper and I am running this on a laptop (Vista O/S). I don't want to
use any updates, etc. from the internet - I just want to run it on my
computer.
