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.

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.

  • How can I open the emails saved as Firefox html documents

    I saved a few emails from my hotmail account. They appear in the right folder like Firefox HTM documents. Now I can not open them.
    Clicking on taking me to a distorted hotmail page.

    Saved web pages may contain the code that links from the server. You have Microsoft Word? You can try to open the message in Word to see if it allows you to access the content of e-mail messages. (Word has knowledge of HTML but don't run scripts).

    In the future, perhaps a more reliable way to save messages is to print to PDF. There are a number of free print-to-PDF programs for Windows, you can use if you want to spring for Acrobat.

  • 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.

  • 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.
