523810 2007-02-08 08:29:00 After moving to Vista, the free Cashbook software from Acclaim Software (a NZ company) no longer works properly. It's very crashy, and a lot of its windows don't render properly, if at all.

Does anyone know of any good, free, personal accounting programs? I need it to do basic stuff like importing from online banking files, and simple budgeting/caterorising of income/expenses.

Also check the regedit hive for the program too. Other than that, dont know any free accounting programs?

523814 2007-02-08 19:32:00 Thanks for your suggestions everyone.

I've experimented with every combination of "compatibility" settings, admin rights etc. to no avail. It works enough for me to import data and view budget/actuals *most* of the time, but it will stop working for no apparent reason every now and then.

I would prefer not to go back to XP, however worst case scenario is that I have a Virtual Machine running XP which I could use, but I'd rather not.

Same deal with Linux - I'd prefer not to have to go into a different OS just to do my accounting.

"question" - your posts seem remarkably like spam, but I'll have a look anyway.
