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,
Marilyn

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. -

Tecra M5 BIOS is not compatible with Windows Vista
Hello, I ran the Vista Upgrade Advisor from Microsoft, and he pointed out that the BIOS on my Tecra M5 was not compatible with Vista and to contact Toshiba. I am running version 1.7 - the most recent available I think. Toshiba will release a version that will be compatible with Vista, or a fix so that I can run Vista on my M5?
I forgot to mention that the machine is a M5 UK (PTM51E)
Thank you very muchDavid
Hello
I guess Tecra M5 Vista capable label. Am I wrong?
I know for each unit of Vista, laptop manufacturer will offer the proper BIOS version, as well as drivers, tools and utilities.
In short time Vista will be placed on the market and after the official launch, all this kind of stuff should be available on download page.

Program, managing your money get the version of the file is not compatible with Windows Vista
I'm trying to run an old program, manage his money, on Vista Home Premium 64 - bit. It ran OK on Win XP. When I try to run the setup.exe, I get error - "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows hou are running." I tried to use the program compatibility Wizard. No help. Same mistake. Anything else I can try?
If you get this error and the Compatibility Mode doesn't help, then the program simply is not compatible with this version of Vista, and if you want the program, you will need to check with the manufacturer to see if they make a full install version which is compatible with Vista and buy the program more recent. If they do not have such a version, then I'm afraid you're just out of luck with this program. The only other option MIGHT be Virtual PC, but even that is not a guarantee and is a little extreme just to get an old program running.
Sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear, but it's like that.
Good luck!

I recently installed Windows Vista on my Dell Inspiron 6000. This installation is completed successfully, but when I tried to start, I got an error message:
Winload.exe
Attempt to load a 64-bit application, however this CPU is not compatible with the 64-bit mode.
I've been clean installation Windows Vista Home Premium. I already had Windows XP Media Center 2004. What should I do?
Thank you
Ryan
Hello
Do a clean install of XP with the XP disk provided by Dell, if you.
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/OperatingSystems/SS/instxpclean1.htm
If you do not have your XP disk, you can contact Dell and ask them to send you a XP disc.
They should do this for a small fee.
You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the order of startup and startup disk:
How to change the Boot order in BIOS:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm
"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246
Vista installation was able to destroy this option of relocation:
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall XP back on how you purchased your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
A Dell must rely on Ctrl + F11 at STARTUP to reinstall XP
