I can't help you with MS Money, other than to suggest that you buy a copy of Quicken. It's not very expensive, and it will import your MS Money information.

I'm a longtime Microsoft customer, and even have a number of MS administration and engineering certifications. The fact is, Microsoft is interested in only one company: Microsoft.

Hope you can get to your data, one way or another.

Restore to a date before the upgrade!

Jay Lee the tech writer for the Houston Chronicle had an article on a similar problem. info on many problems and solutions can be found at his web site.

if you go into Add/Remove programs in Control Panel you’ll see all the installed updates and you can remove the most recent one, it should resolve the problem if the update caused the issue. Also, each Microsoft product usually has it’s own page on their website, they may have an update for MS-Money that will fix the problem, chances are you aren’t the only person who’s had this problem.

Try deleting your Cookies, offline content, and clearing your browser history. This is assuming you are using IE to access it.

After re-reading your post, it sounds to me like your MS passport somehow got changed. See if you have any options to reset your password.

11 posts and no one telling him to switch to Linux, or a Mac? I’m disappointed.

There are RULES for these threads, people!

We had a problem with MS porfolio for a while this past week and it was a pain because I use it all the time —my guess is that they were fiddling with some “improvement” that wasn’t working out. I had a real battle getting logged on but it’s been fine for me today...

To me, the fact that you cannot access either the program or the website is instructive.

I will presume that your account, managed on line and also in your PC are both protected by a common password.

In your case, when you cannot access either, the possibility that your password has been intercepted/changed/FUBARed/mess up by MS or whatever is the real issue.

Personally, due to the VERY personal and important data in this account, I would instantly get in touch with the website ASAP.  

Do not delay.

I was the victim of a crime due to account hijacking and it cost me thousands to clear it up.

I say again, do not delay.

Get access to the website and your accounts IMMEDIATELY.

Cheers,

If you had a system restore point set not too long before the “upgrade”, restore it, then make sure you disable automatic updates. Also make sure you back up any critical data files to make sure you aren’t doing more harm than good.

Get a Mac.

I have no solutions for you, but something similar happened to me after Mr. Gates paid my computer one of his unwelcome late-night visits: suddenly all my saved email from December 2006 onward was gone. Much of this was business email. It was supposed to be backed up on my computer as well as stored on MSN. Gone. Mr. Fairview, who is a computer scientist of some ability, agrees that it's just not there anymore. This happened the last time there was an unsolicited update, too.

I wish Mr. Gates would mind his own damn business and stay out of my computer in the small hours. I don't go busting into his personal computer, do I?

I really hope you did not follow most of the advice so far given on this page. I would suggest deleting your temps and cookies and giving it a try.

Telling someone to format C is a very foolish thing to do, same with shutting off auto update. All it does is make more PC’s for me to fix.
