I have MS Money 2007 and I was unable to get it to detect an internet connection. After looking on many forums I found two solutions. 1. disable UAC. I did it and it worked. I do not want this to be disabled however. the other solution was posted The other solution is this: Give “COMPUTER\Users” “Full” control to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money 2007 folder. That fixed mine. I have done this function before but I don't remember how i got to it.
The easier way is to navigate to the program executable and right click on it and choose the compatibility Tab and tick "run as Administrator" hit OK. Now every time the program runs it will run with admin priveledges. Works well with many problem programs.
You are most welcome. Here are a few more Vista tips.
Here is how to install software or drivers on Vista that are for XP
Right click on the setup.exe file for the software/driver you are trying to install and select the compatibility Tab
Tick the "run this file in compatibility mode" box and then select XP in the drop down box, Tick "run as Administrator" if it is available, hit OK
Now double click this setup.exe file to execute the install process, hopefully all will go well and install the drivers/Software you need.
If the exe installs software for the device, or you have installed software only, you need to navigate to the program folder where it installed, then do the compatibility thing again for the program executable.
I do not guarantee all drivers or software to work but a large percentage do..
Good luck.
If the Software/ installer (exe file) is on CD, copy the entire contents of the CD to a folder in Vista, then do the compatibility thing.
