Microsoft Money 2005 and backup files

[Guest]

I've recently upgraded to Vista. I was using money 2005 on my WINME system.
I have loaded the program. and tried everything I knew and could find in the
help section on the microsoft site to open up the back up file.
Restore backup-->letmoney find backup->

it finds the right .mbf file

click on restore->name the restored file (I use the default--C:\My
Documents\Money Files\My Money.mny)-> click on restore

The message I get is always: The path name is invalid; please use a valid
path name.

I have deleted all the files; transfered via CD, flashdrive; mailattachment;
same issue every time.

I tried letting it set up a dummy file, and then did the update. It still is
not accepting the backup

I never did use the default.....I have always setup a seperate folder
When I installed money onto my Vista Machine it needed to "update"itself
first before I could restore the backup files off the DVD.
I also setup a "dummy" file to start Money off but then let the "restore"
overwrite the dummy file.
I see that Under Vista there is no C:\MyDocuments folder............but
there is under User(you name here)....could that be your problem??
