Understanding M11 Issues
Frequent M11 Opening Issues
Microsoft Money Not Present
Double-clicking your M11 file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open M11 File". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Microsoft Money isn't installed on your PC. The OS won't know what to do with your M11 file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.
Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your M11, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").
Microsoft Money Requires Update
Sometimes your installed version of Microsoft Money won't support your Microsoft Money 2003 Data file. If you've got the wrong version of Microsoft Money installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This problem is predominately due to having a Microsoft Money 2003 Data file version that was created by a newer version of Microsoft Money than what you have installed on your PC.
Tip: Investigate your M11 file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.
Primarily, problems experienced when opening M11 files are due to having the incorrect version of Microsoft Money installed on your computer.
Other M11 File Opening Causes
Assuming you have the right Microsoft Money version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening M11 files. If you are continuing to have errors with loading M11 files, other external issues might be to blame. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):
- Windows Registry M11 file paths that are incorrect
- The M11 file description within the Windows Registry was removed
- Microsoft Money or another M11 application experienced a flawed installation
- Your M11 can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
- Malware-tainted M11 file can't be opened
- Drivers associated with M11 software need to be updated
- Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Microsoft Money 2003 Data format
