go to C:\Documents and Settings\your-user-account\ and look for a
folder called ".moneydance" without the quotes. Rename that folder
to ".moneydance.old". Then try running Moneydance again. This will
restore Moneydance to its default settings. If moneydance does not
produce the error message again you will need to tell it where your
moneydance data file is located. Do this by selecting File->Open
and then browse to your .md data file. Resetting Moneydance to it
default state will also mean you will need to re-enter your license
key. If you don't know what it is let me know your full name and I
will look it up for you.</p>

<p>I tried that and it still wasn't starting. On a hunch I pulled
up the task manager and looked around, it seems MD was running in
the background, but there was no UI. I force-killed it, then tried
the re-start and it came up asking for registration like a fresh
install. So I'm not sure if it was removing the preferences file or
not, but it's happy now. (And I still have my key. Love how e-mail
baskets never get lost. ;)</p>
<p>It looks like everything is still intact, and the changes I made
before the save worked. The version I have on the windows machine
is r3 (751). There shouldn't be any issue with using different
versions on the same file right? I should probably update to r3 on
the N900 as well though. :)</p></div>woody14619tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/23276132010-07-21T21:40:32Z2010-07-21T21:40:32ZFatal error, can not access my MD info!<div><p>There was a change to the file format between MD2008 and MD2010.
If you are using MD2010 on both machines you should be fine.</p>
