Microsoft Money 2005 Works!

Steve C · Jul 2, 2021

I started dabbling with Windows 11 to check whether Microsoft Money 2005 (UK) works since I have 25 years of financial transactions recorded and I use Money almost daily for managing my finances. I never understood why MS stopped selling Money. Anyway, I'm pleased to report Money works fine in Windows 11 (so far).

That's good to hear, I know there are still quite a lot of Money users out there

Yep, i still use Money 2004. For basic checkbook balancing, it's been just fine for my needs.

I would consider my finances had failed if I was using a 16 year old financial tool

Newer =/= better.

If you used Microsoft Money you would recognise there is no better financial tool. If you know better and can recommend one then please tell us.

I was joking.

That's the exact reason why I and others still use Microsoft Money and we even use third party tools to get the quotes even though it has been disabled by Microsoft. I am using MSMoneyQuotes here Gaier Software - Restore Microsoft Money Online Quotes with MSMoneyQuotes as I only use the Portfolio Manager part of the software to track my investments and I have financial data from 1995 so it's 1 year more than you. LOL.

If you have a driver for it, it will. I can tell you Symantec/Delrina WinFax Pro will not work on anything after Windows XP because it works as a virtual printer driver and there is none for anything later than Windows XP.

I use MSMoneyQuotes too which is a great utility to grab share and fund prices

Did you figure a good way to get it to fetch for quotes more often than the 15 minute intervals?

I haven't investigated that since I only update Money using MSMoneyQuotes one a week or so. I use a virtual portfolio in Trustnet to check daily price movements.

I noticed with 22000.100, the Microsoft Money process mysteriously disappears after some time.

Money 2005 (UK) is still working after an hour for me on that version and the process shows in Task Manager. Does Money stop working for you are you just missing the process entry in Task Manager?

I mean when I alt-tab, Money is completely gone, same with the msmony.exe process in Process Hacker which is not after an hour but more like after a few hours.

Note I'm using the UK version of Money which may operate differently to the US version.
