I've been looking for a personal finance manager program and have installed MS Money Sunset Edition on Windows 11 64-bit PC. I know it's old and not supported but it had some features I wanted and is free.

However, when I click on either the Investing, Planning or Taxes tab I get a 'Stack overflow at line : 1' error?

Any ideas? Any help greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Bob

I just tried those, and get that also. Those are things I do not click, so had not run across that problem.

I suggest you click Shortcuts, and choose these as some useful and working things:

Also, click Tools. Check Settings. 

Also be aware that you need to  patch your installation by putting a fixed version of  mnyob99.dll over the flawed version.   https://microsoftmoneyoffline.wordpress.com/2012/12/02/windows-8-64-bit-version-compatibility-with-sunset-money/

None of those options are relevant anymore - they used to go to pages on a website Managed by Microsoft but they no longer work

There is a procedure to get those tabs working properly again - in my article https://microsoftmoneyoffline.wordpress.com/2016/06/06/eliminating-the-online-updatingdelays-and-errors-when-opening-money/
Here is an excerpt:


✅  Many of the Program tabs (BUDGET, INVESTING, PLANNING and TAXES) no longer function.  For instance, clicking on the INVESTING tab takes you to a MSN page, rather than the intended  Investing portal page within Money.  This behavior can be rectified by renaming urlmap.xml (admin privileges required; found in

%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Money Plus\MNYCoreFiles\WebCache
for 64-bit Windows, OR
%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Money Plus\MNYCoreFiles\WebCache
for 32-bit Windows)

to  urlmap.xml_disabled.

Thank you sc489;  it’s been 10 years, since my BUDGET, INVESTING, PLANNING and TAXES tabs worked properly!

✅ Nathan Giard also discovered that by doing the same for four more files, not only does Money open up quicker, but the behavior of those tabs (and their sub-tabs) will be improved even further:

misurls.xml  to  misurls.xml_disabled
rooturlCDN.xml  to  rooturlCDN.xml_disabled
rooturl.xml  to  rooturl.xml_disabled
urls.ini  to  urls.ini_disabled

I'm using H&B.  The bold links don't all work, but the others do.  I do reports, investment, taxes and other.

I too am using H&B under W10, and the tabs all function fine for me after I made the aforementioned changes.  I think the OP and Cal might be on W11 though.

I run both W11 Home and Pro off my desktop and laptop from Google Drive.  The mlb is zipped and unzipped at runtime to my %TEMP%.  I like this since I can kill my zip process bat if I don't like something I did and not update the result on the GDrive.
