Hi Cristian,

Thanks for that.......... I downloaded the Windows Installer for KMM4 AGAIN and installed it over the existing setup, I don't know if they have improved the Installer yet but this download fixed the "Start Up" problems and KMM4 now runs fine on my Windows 7 partition..............but since I am really trying to move over to Mac I did the following......

After clearing out all traces of KDE3 and KMM1 on my Mac and MacPorts I managed to freshly install KMM4 via the Terminal, it took a long time but eventually it got there..

It doesn't show up any errors but I cannot get it to load from the Terminal or from the KMM4 Icon..

I've tried "re-installing" it several times and every time it says that all Dependencies are found and it even says it is "cleaning up" KMM4 but still it refuses to load..

I could send some-one a snap shot of what happens in the Terminal when I type "kmymoney4"........

Any advice you can give or point me in the direction of people who may be familiar with this problem ??

Best Regards,

Ron..
