I
have seen this before with XP. Does the task manager show that MD
is running? If Moneydance is actually running but minimized, try
right clicking it's icon at the bottom of your screen and choose to
maximize the window. Please let me know if something else is
causing this and Moneydance is in fact not running at all for some
reason.</p></div>Brian Adlertag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/1450082009-07-19T22:28:01Z2009-07-19T22:28:58ZProgram will not load<div><p>I'm having the same problem as harperinsurance.<br>
Launch the program, Moneydance splash screen comes up and the
program appears to be running minimized with a tab in the system
tray. If I click Moneydance in the system tray, it appears that the
focus changes from Firefox (or whatever program I am in) to
Moneydance . . . but the program never appears.<br>
No duplicate instances listed in Windows Task Manager. In fact,
persists after reboot. Uninstalled, re-installed from fresh
download, same behavior. Tried opening by double-clicking directly
on moneydance data files, same behavior. error.log contains one
line: ignoring invalid argument: -Xmx1024m</p>
<p>Any suggestions?<br>
Edit: Using Windows XP, SP3 - been running Moneydance fine until
just now.<br></p></div>agwsmailtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/1450082009-07-20T15:15:00Z2009-10-11T18:45:51ZProgram will not load<div><p>Hmm... I had a similar problem but running Win7 RC and in my
case I had to use Admin login and only then after logging in did I
get the Moneydance password screen which I logged in and - voila it
came up maximized!</p>
<p>This started after I installed Microsofts MSE beta AV, yes folks
living on the edge so I'm prepared to take my lumps here.</p>
<p>I'm not sure if this would help any of you since your using XP
but just thought I would pass it on.</p></div>cppwood56tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/1450082009-07-20T20:23:45Z2009-07-20T20:23:45ZProgram will not load<div><p>What version of java are you using? I suggest upgrading to the

get a completely fresh start.</p>
<p>Run the uninstall program that comes with Moneydance. This is
most likely in "C:\program files\Moneydance" but might be somewhere
else if you installed Moneydance to somewhere other than the
default location. It is called un install, double click it to run
it.</p>
<p>Then Delete the "C:\program files\Moneydance" directory.</p>
<p>I would then uninstall all versions of java that you have
installed on your computer using the Windows control panel.</p>
<p>Moneydance also created folder called .moneydance in your user
directory to store your Moneydance preferences. This should be in
"C:\Documents and Settings\yourUserName". Delete this as well it
possible that the preferences files stored here have become
corrupted.</p>
<p>Then log in to windows as administrator and install the latest
version of Moneydance with java.</p>
<p>If that doesnt work I let me know and I'll investigate
further.</p>
<p>Sincerely</p>

back up and<br>
running. Thank you for your help Ben.<br>
I suspect it might have been the .moneydance file that was giving
such a headache.</p></div>agwsmailtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/1450082009-07-22T13:49:30Z2009-10-11T18:45:51ZProgram will not load<div><p>Thanks Ben, that worked for me as well!</p></div>cppwood56tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/1450082009-08-14T16:12:49Z2009-08-14T16:12:53ZProgram will not load<div><p>I am having the same issue, I'm running windows XP on an Asus

<p>It might be that Moneydance is starting up minimised. Try right
clicking on Moneydance in the task bar and select Maximise.</p>

<p>I have downloaded the newest version 640 but now I am not sure if i should try it. Would it damage my moneydance.md file if I tried it?</p></div>davwill67tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/1450082009-08-21T15:59:02Z2009-08-21T15:59:02ZProgram will not load<div><p>Hi David</p>
<p>build 640 will not damage your moneydance.md file, they use the
same file format and I have had no report of build 640 causing such
a problem.. And if you want to be extra sure make a backup copy of
your md file first.</p>
<p>Sincerely</p>

but I read about a bug that would make moneydance to load. Is this a moneydance bug or is it a java issue?</p></div>davwill67tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/1450082009-08-22T14:07:40Z2009-08-22T14:07:40ZProgram will not load<div><p>Hi David</p>
<p>The bug does not prevent moneydance from loading. In some rare
situations it loads moneydance in its minimised state on Windows
XP. If this happens to you right click on the moneydance item in
the task bar to resolve the problem. I believe it is a moneydance
bug and not a java bug. Either way it is easily resolved and will
not cause any loss of data.</p>
<p>Sincerely</p>

and it failed to load completely. Wasn't in Win Task Manager. Tried
the online Java update which failed. Tried the offline version and
it worked. MD loaded! Yay!</p>
<p>So updated MD and I'm back in business.</p>
<p>Think it was caused by using Google Chrome as my browser, which
is still not supported by Java. Thought I'd let you know.</p>
<p>Thanks again.</p></div>Marion
