Hi - this isn't actually a good group for your question - it's for MS 
Windows Software Update Services. If you're looking for MS Money support try 
microsoft.public.money. But I suspect you'll need to buy the latest version 
(don't know what it's called) and then upgrade your data - I'd find it odd 
if you had to load an "intermediate" version first.

You might find the newsgroup you need much easier to find  if you try using 
a news client, such as Forte Agent, Thunderbird, or even Outlook Express, 
rather than the pretty clunky web interface to the newsgroups. It's a lot 
easier to do nearly everything that way. You can mark messages to be 
watched, filter the views so you can see replies to your posts easily, and 
search.

The Microsoft public news server is msnews.microsoft.com and you can 
subscribe to as many groups as you like; no authentication is required.
