The information in this article applies to:

 Microsoft Money 98 == MSN MoneyCentral == 

= SYMPTOMS =

The Microsoft Money 98 Home screen contains a listing of Internet headlines from MSN Investor headlines. These headlines may disappear leaving only the option to Update Internet Information. Clicking the link to Update Internet Information does not provide any new headline information.

= CAUSE =

After opening your Money 98 data file seven times, the current headlines will no longer appear on the Home screen. Updating Internet Information refreshes the Home screen with new headline information. If there is no new headline information, then no headlines will be visible.

= RESOLUTION =

NOTE: Because there are several versions of Windows, the following steps may be different on your computer. If they are, please consult your product documentation to complete these steps.

The headlines are updated on a weekly schedule. If you have downloaded the latest headlines, you will not receive a new download until a new file is available.
