Maggie Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Hoping that somebody may know ... I'm just about to change to Vista as my current very old PC is slowly dying ... but I use MS Money 2002 and of course I've been told that it won't be compatible with Vista ... does anybody know if Money 2005 will be please??? I've spoken to Microsoft, but they hedge the issue and won't say a definate Yes or No, I've rung various retail computer 'experts' - but get the same response. Is anybody running Money on Vista and does it work please???Do hope somebody can help [:'(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggie Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 Brilliant ... thanks Clair. Perhaps Money 2002 will work then! Do you back up to floppy or CD please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I back up to an external hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Apparently there were problems running Money 2005 and 2006 on Vista, but Microsoft have issued a patch to solve this.July 2007 Windows Vista Application Compatibility Update I'm kind of surprised that Microsoft didn't tell you this.

Maggie Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 Thanks very much indeed Clair & Cat - I think that both the MS people I spoke to were in India ... and they really did 'sit on the fence'. I tried very hard to get a Yes or No out of them, but nothing doing! I think I'll see if I can't find a copy of Money 2004 somewhere.I just hate changing my PC!

powerdesal Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 How very odd, we have been running MS Money 2006 on our vista machine for nearly a year without any problem or need for a patch from MS, just luck I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 Do you have the option of backing up to a CD or just a floppy Steve?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerdesal Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 We back up to a file on the hard drive and when we want to we copy it to a stick, (or a CD if we wanted to) We dont have any floppy drives on either computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 Thanks for the reply Steve ... I also back up to the hard drive, but I think that I'll try copying to a stick / CD as well now instead of a floppy. I used to be fairly OK with computers, but have seriously lost touch during the last few years ... and that is a long time!Many thanks to you all for your information, it really is appreciated [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
