Microsoft Money in Vista for UK user

Have used Money 98 since, well, 1998, in OS 1998; 2000; and XP - but it won't
work in Vista despite trying to use the Compatibility mode. AFter installing
it simply crashes all the time.

Would prefer to stay with MS Money as I like thr porcesses and set-up:
better than Quicken or other packages.

However, I can't find a package that works on Vista, and is supported by MS
for a UK user. MM2007 seems perfect for me, but it won;t work outside the US,
it seems.

Can someone point me in the direction of a money version that works on
Vista, and in the UK, please.

Thanks

There's a separate group for UK Money - microsoft.public.uk.money. The UK
Money is different from the US version.

The usual problem with Money is that it creates its data file in the Program
Files Area which Vista won't allow. Moving the Money data file to the User
Account solves most problems. The first time Money is run on Vista it should
be run as administrator - right click on the launch shortcut and select
that option - to allow any updates to be installed.

MM 2005 is the last version released for the UK and works just fine
under Vista.

Thank you for this - can I presume as a btinternet user, you are based in
the UK, and have used this package...

Thanks so much for your input.
