This was the best banking product I ever used. Quicken cratered in 2018. Wish someone would get back to basics and forget the Cloud. So many places W/O access to Wi-Fi.

I am using Money Counts 9.0 in a virtual machine, I am having date problems. I have used Money Counts for years. It is best accounting software that I have used and I have used many over the years. When a new year is used, it is not closing the old year and posting entries to Net Worth and showing a zero balance in the new year expense and income accounts. Help!

Barbara Hamman, Did this problem only begin with this year? Mine automatically always does it correctly as soon as I post the first transaction in the new year.

Dan Shapiro, started a couple of years ago. It has not worked properly since it was installed in the virtual machine. I wish it worked properly. Could it be something with the virtual machine installation?

Barbara Hamman,
It is not closing into a new year because you have a transaction somewhere with a newer year, i.e. did you mistakenly post a transaction with a year in the future like 2026 for example when you meant to post it 2022? Search the registers for all the accounts the correct the entry back to where it should be.

There seems to be a lot of concern about continuing to use MoneyCounts on newer 64-bit operating systems.

I run MoneyCounts on Windows 10 and Windows 8.1, both 64-bit. My solution is to run a 32-bit OS as a virtual machine, using VMware Workstation Player. This is free from VMware.

The VMware Player "plays" the virtual machine (VM). The VM in this case will be a 32-bit OS (Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2000, 98, 95, etc.). Take your pick. I use Windows 2000 because it's small and efficient. You could even use DOS with Windows 3.1. That is what MoneyCounts was originally developed to run on.

The VMware solution obviates keeping an old machine around, just to run your accounting system.

I have been doing this for a few years, now. No problems. Works great.

herbray,
I've loaded MoneyCounts 9.0e under VMWare Workstation Player and Windows XP on a new Lenovo laptop running Windows 11 and it works well. The problem I'm having is printing to a new HP DeskJet 2855e all-in-one-printer. The 2855e says it is not compatible with Windows XP, but I'm hoping there are generic printer drivers that would allow this to work.

Kim,

I have ran money counts since 1988 (version 5) and bought all of the upgrades over the years up to 8.0a. I did not know they made a version 9. versions 5-8 were written in Turbo Pascal and would not run of faster computers so I always ran either pure dos or Windows 98 either standalone or in VM ware. But I always had to install a slowdown program (MoSlo for business) to avoid the runtime 200 error. Maybe version 9 fixed this.
I would very much like to get a copy of version 9
Thanks
Dallas
