Oh great. I was just thinking of buying MS Money 2002. Did you resolve this? It's unusual that no one tried to help. What was similar between the two machines, and what was different?
Obviously, the same Windows XP. Did you try finding a patch for MS Money 2002 on microsoft's website? Maybe disable virus scanning the first time you run it too. There's always a chance, right? Good luck. Let us know, okay?
