MSMONEY caused an Invalid Page Fault in module.



CAUSE
The behavior can occur if any of the following conditions are true:

 * The TEMP or TMP environment variable points to an invalid folder, or a .tmp file in the Temp folder interferes with Money.
 * One or more Money program files may be missing or damaged.

RESOLUTION

Clean Boot the Computer
Certain programs or terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) utilities can interfere with Microsoft Money.

To determine if this is the case, clean boot the computer before you start Money. To do this, please see the instructions in the "More Information" section later in this article.

After you clean boot the computer, start Money to test if the issue is resolved.

If the issue is resolved, one of the programs that was running in the background may interfere with Money. For additional information about how to determine which program causes the issue, click the article numbers below to view the articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
