Ted, FTM is Family Tree Maker. TC, I usually click on 'Irfanview' icon and then 'file' and 'open' and have had no problems with opening the census CD. Maureen |

Hi TC Have never upgraded any of my old software and running on Windows 98 which is why the FTM package upgraded IE so that I can use the software with internet connection. Usually my transcribing CD opens in 'Iranview' with no problems at all but none of CDs are registering let alone opening. Might have to uninstall FTM and try all the CDs again just to make sure that I do not have machine problems. Maureen |

I installed mine about a month ago and have had similar glitches. If I use the CD with the UK Info - the computer crashes for the next couple of times of being turned on. I also can't open FTM2005 if any other program is running - and have to close down all programs (outlook etc). Any ideas? Liz |

I dont know why it would do that - is your system updated with microsofts updates regularly? How do you open the cds? Do you click on search and enter a name for them? |

During the installation of FTM2005 yesterday it upgraded Internet Explorer to Version 6. This did alter some of my internet settings but think I have now got them sorted out. BUT the real problem is that it seems to have affected my ability to open CDs which is causing me real problems as I am transcribing for FREECEN. I have tried numerous CDs - Hampshire Parish Records, Bat & Ball Games, PrintMaster just to name a few - but none of them will open. Does anyone know why installing FTM should cause this problem or have any suggestions as to what I can do to rectify this problem. Any help would be appreciated. Please see additional information added to thread. Will be back on later tonight (1st July) to see if anyone can help. Maureen |
