Help,
I just bought a new HP computer with Vista. I am running Money 2005 and I'm
not able to import the files from my old computer (windows XP) to the new
computer. The errors say the import file is write protected and then try to
do a restore...I did that as well...no luck. I don't know what to do to get
these files moved over.
Please help...with detailed directions....not a computer person here.
thanks

This is a programmers group, you may be better asking in
microsoft.public.money.

If you used a CD or DVD to transfer the file then it may well be write
protected. Copy it to your new PC, find it in Explorer then right click on
it, select properties, make sure 'Read Only' is unchecked and press OK
then see whether Money is OK with it.
