1: INTERNET QUOTES
The Internet Quotes connection in Money works directly with the 32-bit
WinSock included with Windows 95. Most full-service Internet providers
(those not requiring custom software to access their service) will
support the 32-bit WinSock. If you have questions about your Internet
connection compatibility, ask your service if they support the Windows
95 32-bit WinSock. Money does not include an Internet service provider.
You may also need 32-bit WinSock compatibility to use Online Banking --
depending on your bank's type of Online Services.
Money's Internet Quotes will automatically start the connection to the
Internet if your service provider uses the standard connection method
included with Windows 95. If your provider uses a different method,
you may need to start your Internet connection before starting Money.

2: HIGH SPEED MODEMS
Using a high speed modem (faster than 9600 baud) with an older UART
(the computer chip that controls the serial port) can result in
transmission errors. Any 14.4 Kbps or faster modem requires the
16550AFN UART. Older UARTs might be labeled 8250 or 16450.
To find out what kind of UART your computer has:
1. On the Windows 95 Start menu, point to Settings, then click Control
Panel.
2. Double-click Modems.
3. Click the Diagnostics tab.
4. Highlight the port you want to check, then click the More Info button.
5. Windows will test your modem and report the results.
6. The type of UART you have will be listed in the Port Information section.
7. If you have an 8250 or 16450 UART, click OK, then follow steps 8-13. If
you have a 16550 UART, your hardware is up to date.
8. Click the General tab.
9. Click Properties.
10. Click the Connection tab.
11. Click Port Settings.
12. Make sure the Use FIFO Buffers checkbox is NOT checked. Click OK.
13. Try your modem connection again. If you still have problems, you should
upgrade your serial card to one with the 16550AFN UART.

3: DISPLAY COLOR SETTINGS
Money 97 is designed to work in 256-color mode. It will also run in 16-color
mode, but the screens may be difficult to read.
To check/change your color mode:
1. On the Windows 95 Start menu, point to Settings, then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Display.
3. Click the Settings tab.
4. Check the Color Palette setting to see which mode your computer is
running in. If your video card supports 256 colors, you'll see that option
in the Color Palette drop-down menu.
5. Choose 256 Color from the list, then click OK. Windows will ask if you
want to restart the computer so the change can take effect.

4: ONLINE SERVICES WITH WINDOWS NT
Money can not automatically establish an Internet connection in Windows NT,
so NT users must start their Internet connection before starting Money to
access Online Services.
___________________________________________________________________________
5: ONLINE SERVICES CALL SUMMARY
The Call Summary contains information about what information was exchanged
with your bank during your connection to Online Services. If an error occurs
during a call, this Call Summary may not appear on subsequent calls in
the same Money session. Should this happen, you can check the status of
your transactions by going to the Home Banking area and clicking the
Payments In Progress tab.
___________________________________________________________________________
6: ONLINE SERVICES IN CANADA
After entering your bank's 8-digit routing number while setting up Online
Services, you might get a dialog box saying there was a problem retrieving
the online setup files and instructing you to try your call again or cancel
setup. However, at release time, no Canadian banks offered Online Services.
So, your call was probably completed successfully. Check with your bank for
future Online Services capabilities.

7: SETUP FAILS TO REGISTER SCHANNEL.DLL
If you use Windows 95 and Money setup fails because it could not register
Schannel.dll, try removing any networking applications from your Windows
StartUp folder. Then reboot Windows and run Money Setup again.
To remove applications from your StartUp folder:
1. On the Windows 95 Start menu, point to Settings, then click Taskbar.
2. Click the Start Menu Programs tab.
3. Under Customize Start Menu, click Remove.
4. Click the plus sign beside the folder Programs, then click the plus sign
beside the folder StartUp.
5. Highlight any networking program you see.
6. Click Remove. This will not delete the program. It will only remove it
from the menu.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for all of your networking applications, then click
Close.
8. Restart Windows and reinstall Money.
9. To put networking applications back in the StartUp folder, see Windows
Help.

8: DISPLAY DRIVERS
If you're using an ATI display driver and you notice graphics problems in
Money -- such as badly drawn graphs and charts, or black bars where your
account balances should be -- please use the SVGA display driver that comes
with Windows.
To check/change your display driver:
1. On the Windows 95 Start menu, point to Settings, then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Display.
3. Click the Settings tab.
4. Click Change Display Type.
5. If you see an ATI driver in the Adapter Type field, you may wish to
change to the Windows driver.
6. To switch drivers, click the Change button next to the Adapter Type field.
7. Select Show All Devices, then on the Manufacturers menu, highlight
(Standard Display Types) from the top of the list.
8. On the Models menu, highlight Super VGA, then click OK. Windows will ask
if you want to restart the computer so the change can take effect.

9: PRINTER DRIVERS
If you have a Canon BJ-330, C-Itoh 8510, or IBM PPII 2381 printer, you might
experience problems printing checks. You can get an updated driver from the
manufacturer.
