Microsoft Money doesn't import downloaded bank statement
I have Microsoft Money 2005 installed. When I access my bank online and download my statements I used to get a message saying data had been downloaded and did I want to start Microsoft Money. This no longer happens and I can't see any way of getting this data into Money. Typing it in manually defeats the whole point of electronic downloads. I have recently deleted all my cookies using System Mechanic. Is this something to do with it?
How do I get back to the previous state? I have tried re-installing Money without success.

I had this problem before, when you choose to download statement, it comes up with a message box asking if you want to save it or open it, if you click open it will download and money will auto open and import data for you.

I followed your instructions ded9 without success.
For some reason the file is downloading with a .do extension. I've tried changing this to .ofx but when I try to open it with money (File, Import, Download Statement) I get the message 'not recognised as an Active Statement file'.

Tried your latest suggestion ded9. I'm afraid that didn't work either. I tried installing Money on another PC and could download my statement which Money opened okay. However statements from another institution came up with the same error.
Money used to work fine without any problems downloading so I still suspect it's something in the registry.
