Someone has given me a disc. PC cd-rom, not been opened yet but I know nothing about computer discs,
Anyway this one is called create your own Family Tree Genealogy Suite by Focus
It says everything you need to create and share your family tree..

Now I don't have a clue what this is and I was given it some time ago when I was on Windows, now on Vista.

Can someone tell me what it is and how to use it if I can now I am on Vista.

Hi Ericthered,

This person just bought it for me as a gift, they don't even own a computer but they did know I was doing my family tree so they thought I could maybe use it.

Betty

Try typing.

into Google, all will be revealed with the first hit.

Google is your friend. Try the 4th hit on the page. It's supposed to be compatable with Vista.

Betty

Hi Heather and Julie,

Click on Start first in the bottom left of your screen and My Computer can be seen there, then follow Julie's instructions.

Hi Julie and Carol,

I can get that but what I mean is when I open it there are loads of things but nowhere is there MY COMPUTER button thats the problem.

Betty

I have at the bottom bit Programes, Documents, Settings, Search, Help and Support and Run.

I have more things above this obviously as well.

Betty

Gee Betty, what you need is a teenager. When you have found one, please send it round to me! I can give you my address. I am just so slow at picking up all these things.

You will get there bit by bit. Don't feel daft about asking, keep asking.

Hi Margaret,

Yes I should really stop the first 10 year old I see passing and ask them, they would have a better Idea than me anyway.

Betty

Hi Shelly,

I still think either one of them would be better than me on this computer technical stuff.

Betty

Hi Ericthered,

All I have on the bottom left hand side of my screen in a Windows Microsoft Icon you know red/green/blue/yellow when I click on that all I get is the info I posted before. Programs, documents, settings, Search, help and Support and run. Sorry I should have also said I don't have my computer on there or START option either.

It's run you need.

Put the disc in mouse up to run and select D drive (probably). then Browse and you will find setup click on that and the programme will then ask you where you want to install it and carry on as usual.
