• My Vista SP1 is not compatible with my Family Tree Maker version 16. __

  I have the program windows Vista SP1 and my Family Tree Maker version 16 is not compatible with it. What should I do so that I can use this program on this Vista computer? Thank you

  Hi tondsmith,

  Family Tree Maker is compatible with Windows XP? (You don't actually say if it worked on Vista but is no longer works since installing SP1). If this worked on XP and then try to install in compatibility mode.

  1 / locate the "setup" for Family Tree Maker file and right-click on it.

  2 / in the drop-down menu, click Properties.

  3 / in the Properties window, click the Compatibility tab.

  4 / in the compatibility window you will see a section (top) marked 'compatibility mode '.

  5 / in this section, you will see a box with the words "run this program in compatibility mode for" to the right.

  6 / click in the box to appear a "tick".

  7 / in the dialog box below, you should see "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)."

  8 / If you don't see it, click the arrow to the right of the box and select Windows XP (Service Pack 3) from the drop-down list.

  9 / Finally, click OK.

  10 / your Family Tree Maker software should now begin to install in compatibility mode for Windows XP.

  If this does not work (it usually works) then you may need to upgrade to a version of Family Tree maker that supports Windows Vista.

• To load Family Tree Maker version 16 on laptop with Windows 7 64 bit

  I am trying to load Family Tree Maker version 16 on my lap top. I have Windows 7 64 bit and FTM claims, it does not load on 64-bit.  Whjat I do now?

  Hello howstreet,

  First, check to see if the program is compatible with the Windows 7 Compatibility Center.
  Family Tree Maker is recommended upgrade if your version is earlier than 2008 FTM.

  If you have an older application for Windows XP or Vista, which does not work in Windows 7, you can make it work properly by running the program in compatibility mode.
  1. to start, find the application or the shortcut which is the cause of the problem, and then right-click on it and select Properties.
  2. then, select compatibility in the menu tabs at the top of the properties page:
  3. now check the box run this program in compatibility mode "dethrone" and select the operating system you want to emulate. For most applications, this will be Windows XP SP2. Once you are finished, click OK.
  4. When you then run the application, it must run under compatibility using the OS mode you have selected. If it runs properly, try another selection of OS in step 3, and then try again.

  Run the installer in compatibility mode:
  1 right click on the file icon installation.
  2. click on properties > compatibility.
  3. Select the compatibility mode for Windows XP.
  4. click on OK.
  5. run the installation program.

  After installation, run the program in Windows XP compatibility mode by doing the same thing with the installed program.
  If this does not help, if you are running Windows 7 Professional or ultimate, you can try the program in XP Mode and Virtual PC. If you use the version of Windows 7 Home Premium, you can not use the XP Mode but can perform a search on the internet for 3rd party virtualization programs. You can find a few free programs that are very good.

  I hope this helps.

  Sincerely,

• 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.

• My Family Tree Maker 6 2005 version will not work on Windows 7

  I've recently set up a local network with the computer of my husband that is running Windows XP. There our version 6 Family Tree Maker 2005 installed and wish to access it from my new computer running Windows 7. Family Tree Maker, I installed from the original CD (him even that we used to install it on his machine originally), but when I try to open our family through the network, I get the message "the file you are trying to load is from a newer version of Family Tree Maker and cannot be loaded. To upgrade the call 1-800-548-1806 (a number in the United States). I didn't update anything because the two installations of the program should be the same. Help!

  It's just a thought - is - it possible, some time after that you installed version 6 of 2005 on the XP machine that an update of some type has been downloaded or installed to it and so it's actually newer than what's on your disk that you have installed on the Windows 7 computer.  Most of the software indicates the version number detailed in a Help menu and choosing an element of words.  You could try to see if the versions are actually on both the.  As you may know, they have a support site, but it probably won't have a great utility for the 2005 version: http://www.familytreemaker.com/Support
