 - Microsoft Money version 5.0 for Windows 95
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
You may receive the following error message when attempting to establish a
secure online connection, via modem or Internet in Microsoft Money:
 
   Money requires a high level of data encryption when connecting to a
   server. Money has determined that your system is currently unable to
   encrypt data at the level Money requires. Money will not connect to
   a server until your system can support the required level of
   encryption.
 
   To fix this: Download the latest security upgrade from
   http://www.microsoft.com/money/security. Do you want to do this now?
 
If you click Yes, Money uses your Internet connection method specified in
Options to take you to the download site.
 
The error message for Money 5.0 is slightly different:
 
   Money requires a high level of data encryption when connecting to a
   server. Money has determined that your system is currently unable to
   encrypt data at the level Money requires. Money will not connect to
   a server until your system can support the required level of
   encryption.
 
   To fix this, reinstall Money from your original product disks.
 
Reinstalling Money 5.0 does not resolve this error.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
The North American versions of Money require 128-bit data encryption to
establish secure online connections. The file Schannel.dll provides data
encryption. The 128-bit version of Schannel is only available for
distribution in the United States and Canada. It is unlawful to export
outside of North America without an approved Department of Commerce export
license.
 
This error message can occur if you install Money after installing
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0, or if you install Money 98 on a Windows NT
system that has not been upgraded to Service Pack 3.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
If you are in North America, this Microsft Web site will direct to the
appropriate site to download the 128-bit version of Schannel.dll for your
version of Windows.
