Family tree software does not run on Windows 7, Help!

I use a PC running XP for my family tree research and wouldn't buy a laptop to facilitate this, but the software I use--Family Tree Maker 2006 - doesn't have a patch of windows 7 and Family Tree Maker say they have no intention to create one, too much work for them apparently.  I bought and tried the new FTM versions that work on Windows 7, but doesn't like them.  Can I buy a Windows 7 laptop and 'swap' of Windows 7 for XP? Do I have other options?  Do I have to buy a second-hand XP laptop?  I also use a scanner LIDE60 cannon that seems not to have an upgrade to Windows 7. Any advice would be great.

See you soon

Bob

    Hi preyashi,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft community forum!

    I understand that you are having problems running a program from a CD on your computer. I'll help you solve the problem. To be able to understand the question in a better way, I would like to ask you a few questions.

    (1) did you make any changes before the show?

    (2) you are able to run the other Setup program on your computer?

    Senario 1:

    See if it is compatible with Windows 7.

    If this isn't the case, you could try installing in compatibility mode for Windows Vista or Windows XP.

    If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.

    Use the following steps:

    (1) right click on the program.

    (2) click on Properties.

    (3) click on the tab compatibility.

    (4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or other operating system, the program has been run successfully.

    Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

    If compatibility is not successful, then try and run the program compatibility problems:

    1. open the troubleshooting program compatibility Troubleshooter by clicking the Start button.

    Then click on Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooting, and then click Troubleshooting. Under programs, click on run programs for previous versions of Windows.

    2. follow the instructions in the troubleshooting.

    If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation disc for the program and, using the Troubleshoot utility, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. This utility is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.

    Senario 2:

    The behavior you describe is expected if your application runs in 64-bit mode, all components that use must also be 64-bit. There is no 64-bit Jet OLE DB Provider, so that you get the message as described. You will receive a similar error when you try to connect to a database by using OLE DB or ODBC if there is no 64-bit of the specified OLE DB provider or ODBC driver version.

    This problem occurs only in applications that run in 64-bit mode. Compiling the application so that it works only in 32-bit mode is the current best solution.

    You may need to contact the manufacturer of the program to find out how to set the path target to x 86.

  • Reference software does not work under Windows 7

    Reference 9, a bibliographic database program, does not work under Windows 7.  It worked fine under XP.  Support of reference people were a great help and I'm stuck with the program so far.  The program opens and can be saved, but when you do a search, the first research work, but a second search will generate a message 'quote has stopped working.  A problem caused the program to sop work correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. "Then you must click on the" close program"button to close the program and then re - start.

    Are you sure that all the prerequisites for the program have been installed (like the .net Framework or VC ++ runtime libraries)?

    In addition, is the version of the reference program tested by the people of tech reference that same as you use?

    Please make sure the version of the program made for Windows 7 is available, and if yes, you can use this version of Windows 7.

    A work around:

    If the program fails to work, even if all prerequisites have been installed, you can try to install the software in Windows XP Mode (not recommended, but we can not miss this in the case of legacy programs). You can take a look at the following links:

    Hi karategrandma,

    -What version of Family Tree Maker are you using?

    -How long have you had this problem?

    Only versions of Family Tree Maker listed in the Windows Vista Compatibility Center are compatible with Windows Vista.

    See Windows Vista Compatibility Center

    Start your computer in a clean boot state and check if the program runs without any problem.

    For instructions, see How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7 .

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

  • 32-bit software does not work on Windows 7 64-bit

    I have a Windows7 64 bit OS Home and I have and I am trying to install a program that is only 32-bit. I get an error that says: it cannot be installed on a pc with a 64 bit OS. Nothing I do to try to make it work? Or just continue to ask the manufacturer of software for a 64-bit.

    Possible using the software code of 16 bits that could stop working on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

    The software is designed for an earlier version of Windows such as Windows XP?

  • 7300 series all-in-one software does not load in windows 8.1

    I have a 7310xi all in one. I recently installed a new desktop running windows 8.1. the connection is wireless. I can get the printer to print properly but cannot load the software. I need the software to be able to scan etc. I downloaded several times, uninstalled and reinstalled and still get the same result (I purge the temp file after each attempt). Everything goes very well with the download until the actual installation screen comes up. Once I hit the installation I get the message "the system cannot find the file specified." I tried hanging the printer with a USB port and still get the same results. I tried using the Dominican Republic printing HP, the installation wizard and continue to get the same thing. If I could determine precisely what file is not found maybe I could find it. I made sure all updates are running on the computer and tried something that sounded even close, I can fing on HP website. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks, Mike

    Hi Mike1949.

    Sorry for the delay. You'll need get corrupted files fixed before you can install because they are the source of installation problems. To do this, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer (IE. HP, Dell) to get help with the files.

    Let me know how it goes.

    Thank you

    Peter, I had exactly the same problem (not with Dirt2 though).

    In my case it was caused by the protection in real time to Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE). You can temporarily disable it as follows:

    -Open application "Microsoft Security Essentials" (either find in Win7 start menu or right click on its icon on the taskbar);
    -Click on the "Settings" Panel
    -In the list on the left, click "real-time Protection";
    -Clear the checkbox "enable the real-time protection (recommended) ';
    -Click on the 'Save' button at the bottom (ignore security warnings may occur);
    -Keep the window open, it is only temporary.

    At this point, you can run your dxwebsetup (or you already have the Aug2009 redist). Well, it should install.

    Once the installation is complete, remember to re-enable real-time protection in MSE! :)

    Hope this helps,
    Ben.

    PS: I have this will register as a MSE bug in connect.
