RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, create a new shortcut to the Money forum on MSN, and then
replace the current Mnyforum.mcc file. To do this, follow these steps:
 
1. Click Start, point to Programs, and then click Windows Explorer.
 
2. Open the Money\System folder. (Money Setup uses the C:\Program
   Files\Microsoft Money\System folder as the default folder.)
 
3. Rename the Mnyforum.mcc file to Mnyforum.mcc.old. If you are prompted with
   any warning messages, click OK. To rename the file:
 
   a. Right-click the Mnyforum.mcc file.
 
   b. Click Rename.
 
   c. Type a new name, and then press ENTER.
 
4. Start MSN.
 
5. On the Edit menu of MSN Central, click Go To, and then click Other Location.
 
6. Type "msmoney" (without the quotation marks), and then press ENTER.
 
7. On the File menu in the Microsoft Money forum, click Create Shortcut. This
   creates a shortcut on your desktop.
 
8. Quit or minimize MSN.
 
9. Drag the "Shortcut to Microsoft Money Forum" file from the desktop to the
   Money\System folder. To do this, follow these steps:
 
   a. Open Windows Explorer.
 
   b. Open the Desktop folder.
 
   c. Right-click the "Shortcut to Microsoft Money Forum" file, and then click
      Copy.
 
   d. Open the Money\System folder.
 
   e. On the Edit menu, click Paste.
 
10. Rename this shortcut file to the Mnyforum.mcc file. See step 3 above for the
   steps to rename a file.
 
Now try accessing the forum from inside Money.
