How can I update v16 Family Tree Maker (windows XP) to install on Windows 7?

My old computer used Windows XP and had Family Tree Maker version 16 on it. I now have a new computer with Windows 7. I tried to install my old program on the new computer. During the Setup process a message came that says that the program is not compatible. Is there a fix, or does that mean I have to buy a new version of Family Tree Maker?

Try to install in Windows XP compatibility mode. If this does not work, buy the latest version.

    How can I move file from C: to D: Windows xp home. I'm cown to 2% in C; but I have 91% in D: I'm not bad with computors. Any help would be great.

    There is no easy way to move files from your C to D drive program.  When you install programs on your computer, registry entries are usually made with the specified full path.  The most reliable way to do this would be to uninstall the application from your computer (using Add/Remove programs in the control panel) and then re - install them specifying that you want to install them on your D drive instead of your C drive.

    Have been looking for Family Tree Maker Update for Vista but it gave error code 404.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    see if you have a compatible version of it

    If a program is compatible with vista you can try right click on the setup.exe, and then selecting run as administrator

    It is not compatible with vista, you can try running it in a previous operating system mode

    This does not work for all programs

  • I saved my family tree on my desk, now I can't open family tree maker in W8

    I got a new laptop.   I copied my family tree from my old computer to a USB key.   I downloaded Family Tree Maker 2009 on my new computer and copied on my family tree on my desk.     I was able to open it and it worked fine for a while.  Then, I had a problem w/Ancestry.com with my password and have corrected since.   However, now I can't open Family Tree Maker from my office.   He tells me that the file is not closed correctly, to go to the Tools Menu and the "Compact Files.   I don't see any "compact" file in the Tools Menu.  I have probably several genealogical trees open somewhere, but I can't find them.  Thank you!  Kathleen, Lawrence, MY.

    Hi Kathleen,.

    -What is the exact full error message?

    I don't think that Family Tree Maker 2009 is compatible with Windows 8. Reference: Compatibility Center. I suggest a right-click on the taskbar and select Task Manager. In the Task Manager, click on more details and under the control of process if you can find any instance of Family Tree Maker, if so, click on the process and click end task. Also, restart the computer for a couple of times and check if you are able to open the application.

    As a work around you, try to install the application in compatibility mode and check if it helps.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-8/older-programs-compatible-version-Windows

    If your Family Tree Maker 2009 version number is lower than 18.0.0.307, you need to install the latest update. To check your version number of Family Tree Maker 2009. See the help link and check out them.

  • When you try to reinstall Family Tree Maker version 9, I can't go past a required DLL file error message. LTKRN10N. DLL was not found.

    Family Tree Maker no longer supports this version, but I don't want to upgrade to a new complex program.  Do a search, I found a page of FTM, who explained that the program needs a set of files to display and manipulate images.  These files are supposed to be installed as a group and the software will check for one of them.  Support provided FTM one page set of measures to "solve" the problem, but it did not work for this version.  Supposedly, the file is found somewhere in Windows.  I'd appreciate any help.

    Hi bendtraveler,
     
    As there is a specific problem of the program, I suggest you to contact the manufacturer of the program for better assistance on this issue since it is not related to Windows.
  • Incompatible program, I have a problem with my ancestry Family Tree Maker program 2012

    I have problems with my ancestry Family Tree Maker 2012 program.  I have contacted ancestry and have tried everything they suggested a fix.  Maybe they thought THAT FTM crashed in windows.  When I click on the FTM icon on my desk a message appears indicating that FTM was badly closed the last time.  He suggests to compact the file, but I can't get open FTM to do this.  The message keeps telling me that Windows has detected a problem and he'll let know me if a solution is found.  When I right click the icon FTM the menu has "inconsistent application" at the top.  When I used the resolution of Windows problems he also indicated an incompatible application.  FTM was working great for me.  Inproper closing was caused by a power failure while I was with FTM.  My computer is a lot of work and is common to the updates being FTM.

  • If the upgrade to W - 10, MS sez unable to manage the ancestry family tree maker program

    I'm mobile, firefox browser, W-7, 64-bit. I & my program needs 2014 ancestry Family Tree Maker that works well on W-7.

    I understand windows 10 will not lift on the upgrade program support. Do you rely on the evolution of the support?

    If this isn't the case, I can't update level - so how to stop MS harassing me every day on upgrades?

    You will need to ask ancestry if they will release a 10 compatible Windows version of your software.  [The operating system will not be changed to suit a piece of software, it works the other way around]

    You may find advice on the Web site of ancestry on the methods to re - install their existing software on Windows 10 even though it's not entirely compatible.  But I expect that they already have updated software for you in any case.

    If you want to prevent the update of Windows 10 then see my post in this other thread - disable Windows 10 improvement

  • Family Tree Maker 2012 has stopped working

    We are have installed Family Tree Maker 2012 and have difficulties to enter.  We have been in contact with FTM people several times and have not been able to solve the problem.

    Is the first message we receive and exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle:
    Family Tree Maker 2012 is not properly closed the last time it was used.  You may need to compact your last open file to solve the problems caused by an abnormal termination.  To compact the file, choose 'compact the file... ". "in the Tools menu.   (We went in each file we could find and compacted them and made sure they were closed).

    We click on 'OK' and Family Tree Maker partially opens, then closes.  A Microsoft Windows box appears and says "Family Tree Maker 2012 has stopped working.  A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. »

    "Interestingly, before trying to install FTM 2012 we asked problems with Windows Explorer, message pop up saying Windows Explorer has stopped working" or "Windows Explorer restarts" when we try to open, delete, or rename an attachment that arrived by e-mail.  The attachment opens the first time and recorded with an AOL icon (we have AOL accounts), but the only option that we can do then is to drag the attachment into the trash.

    Where can I find information to shoot evil in Windows Explorer?  or is there a way we can reload the program to fix the problem?  He said that our system is up to date on updates of Windows, so don't know what to try next.

  • Try to run Family Tree Maker 2010.

    All I get is. [Family Tree Maker 2010 has stopped working. A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.]

    When Windows will inform me with a solution? This has happened since purchase February 23, 2010.

    You must be good! Of course, you're a patient. :-)

    This message is mainly to let you know that the error benefits from this program has been saved so IF a solution is available, it will automatically check and will give you the option to install the "fix." The key word being IF a solution is found which solves the specific problem that you see.

    That said, lets see what we can do to find out what is happening.

    When did you start in this topic? The Family Tree Maker program has always done this, or is a job for some time and then just start.

    The program works for a while and then stops after a while? Or simply not at work?

    I looked on the website www.FamilyTreeMaker.com and discovered that there is an update available that could help you. Here is a link to some information for you help get installed it... If it is not already installed.

    Version 8 iMovie is not compatible with El Capitan, so you must upgrade to iMovie 10.1.2. To connect to the App Store and look under the purchased Tab. Find iMovie and Garage Band. If they are not there, it may be that the free updates are not available in iMovie 8. I'm not sure about this. They are free to version 9. You can also go to your account and make sure iMovie is not hidden.
