= SYMPTOMS =

When you try to convert a large file from an earlier version of Money, the program seems to stop responding (hang) and show only a blank screen.

This occurs if you switch to another program during the conversion process and then return to Money. You return to a blank screen with an empty blank rectangle in the middle.

= RESOLUTION =

Wait a few minutes. The conversion finishes and the correct screen is redrawn.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Money is not a multi-threaded application. As a result, Money cannot complete other tasks, such as redrawing the screen, while the Money File is converting.
