Le fichier avec l'extension .mbf est un fichier de sauvegarde pour Microsoft Money. Il contient des données financières sauvegardées à partir du logiciel. Si vous ne parvenez pas à vous connecter, cela pourrait signifier que le logiciel ne parvient pas à localiser votre fichier de données correct ou que le fichier a été corrompu. Vous pourriez essayer de restaurer à partir d'une sauvegarde antérieure ou consulter l'aide de Microsoft pour résoudre le problème de connexion.

Hello;

On what medium do you back up your data >> External hard drive, USB stick, or others?
See you soon

Hello;

I suggest you follow the instructions below in order because often a simple, clean, and complete uninstallation resolves MsMoney issues, provided the backups are recoverable

Uninstalling and reinstalling Microsoft MsMoney

1-Make sure the latest backup is up to date and valid: If that's the case, you need to make a copy of that backup on a removable medium (USB stick-CD/RW or External HDD)

2-Uninstall MsMoney completely using Revo Uninstaller which can be downloaded at >> This link
Launch this tool, look for Microsoft MsMoney and uninstall it

3-Open the hidden files in Windows / If problems >> See or 10/ This link
then navigate to the path C:\User(UserName)\AppData\local\Microsoft >> Look for Money and delete it

4-Open the registry with the command Regedit (by clicking on the Windows icon at the bottom left and typing regedit and opening it (see at the top of the window))
Open the Hkey_Current_User key then look for Software >> Microsoft >> Money > To delete
Open the Hkey_Local_Machine key and perform the same operation (If Money is present but usually it isn't!)

5-Restart the machine

6-Reinstall MsMoney version 2005 using the update patch (or reinstallation) available at >> This link
then proceed with the installation following the procedure from the link above

7-Relaunch MsMoney from the backup made in 1- and everything should go back to normal

For security reasons >> Always make a backup of MsMoney on a removable medium (External hard drive - USB stick or CD/RW)
You need to configure your backup according to the screenshots from the download link of the patch according to the backup destination (Example made for a backup on CD/RW)

If problems >> Return to the Forum
See you for the results

Hello;

Thank you for the feedback, but I'm especially happy for you if everything is fine

On the other hand, I wanted to copy/paste the homepage where I see my accounts onto the external hard drive, but it won't paste.
What should I do: move it with the mouse? Or another manipulation?

>> I don't quite understand what you want to do >> Please provide me with more details

Edit >> I think you want to create a shortcut to access your hard drive to go to Money ?? >> If that's the case, it’s not very useful because I suppose your hard drive doesn’t run constantly? Because you use it to save your backup >> Please confirm
I suggest you make a shortcut on your desktop to access MsMoney to see your accounts because I suppose you don't back up every time you check? >> If that's the case, just go to your programs >> Microsoft Money 2005 >> Right-click on the Microsoft Money file >> Send to (Desktop create a shortcut) and you will have the MsMoney icon on your desktop


Take care

Best regards

Hello;

If your external hard drive serves, among other things, to store your MsMoney backups, there’s not much point in leaving it running all the time except to heat it up... >> You connect it when you do your backup
Have you managed to create your shortcut on your desktop to access MsMoney
See you later

Good evening, after formatting my hard drive, I reinstalled Microsoft Money 2015 successfully,
but I was unable to restore with my backup (USB key): sample backup 7, this file is not found.
To access my accounts, I have to click on sample backup 7, and I can view all my accounts.
However, when I want to restart Money, it only opens with the key (e:).
I've been struggling with this for 2 days and I can't find a solution, so any ideas would be welcome.
Good night and thank you in advance.
