How to convert data from Microsoft® Money 2003 or later to Quicken 2004 to 2008

QuickenI installed Quicken 2008 Home & Business just wanted to upgrade my out-dated Microsoft® Money 2004, and the next step is to convert all data since I do not want to enter all data in Quicken again. I checked the Import… option from Quicken menu, but I could not find any import format for Microsoft Money.

After searching on Quicken support site, I found that I need an utility called Data Converter to do such job. The Data Converter converts your data from Microsoft® Money 2003 or later for use in Quicken for Windows version 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, and 2004. It might also work with other versions of Money. If your version of Money can copy .XML files to your desktop, the Data Converter will likely convert your data.

To convert your data, you create 2 transaction reports in Microsoft Money: an Account transactions report for the standard transactions and an Investment transactions report for the investment transactions. You import the reports into Quicken and add some information that will help you take advantage of several Quicken features.

Here is the an excerpt of how-to: Continue reading ‘How to convert data from Microsoft® Money 2003 or later to Quicken 2004 to 2008′

How to play a YouTube movie in PowerPoint 2003

You TubeIf you like a very interest video clip from the YouTube and want to share with your co-workers in your next presentation, you should be able to play it in a PowerPoint presentation using a specific ActiveX control and the Macromedia Flash Player. Since videos on YouTube are almost flash-like files, you can add an ActiveX control to the PowerPoint slide and create a link from it to the video clip.

Please make sure you can play flash file on your computer before you proceed.

  • The ActiveX control, called Shockwave Flash Object, must be “registered” on your computer for you to play the YouTube video clip within PowerPoint. If it is not registered, download the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player from the Macromedia Web site; this will register the control on your computer.
  • Older versions of the Shockwave Flash Object may be registered on your computer. To guarantee that complex animations run properly, we recommend that you install the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player.

Put IE into your favorite browser - Firefox

I love Firefox, not to say its charming security features and I already felt hooked up especially after a long time playing. But life is always hard to be satisfied. There are still a bunch of website which were not designed well so that they can not perform well in Firefox but good in IE. Like some websites under Micro$oft domain, and one of my favorite online radio site KissRadio. I used to fire these two different types of browsers and busy with switching between them. Life gets better now when

“Windows cannot open this program since it has been disabled” error message when I try to install the Oracle9i Release 2 on my Windows Server 2003, Web Edition-based computer

Today I tried to install Oracle 9i on my Windows 2003 Web Edition server with 3 installation CDs. First I did not get the auto-run working when the disc 1 inserted. So I browsed to the CD driver and clicked the autorun.exe file under the autorun folder manually. But I got an error message window indicating that “Windows cannot open this program since it has been disabled“.

This is weird. I thought it might be my CD-ROM problem, so I move these files to my hard-disk. Re-clicked again, the same error. I tried the setup.exe too, and got the same error. Tried the same CD on the Windows XP pro machine, ran without any problem.
