Mine doesn't crash (thank heavens) but my registration is only remembered if I run as Administrator. If I log in normally I have to enter my code all over again, but if I run as Administrator I don't - it seems to remember. I've moved to a new laptop with Windows 8.1 and I use TMG all day every day for client work.

Cheers

.FTMB is a Family Tree Maker 2008 backup file. TMG7 does not currently import from FTM 2008. Your only choice is a GEDCOM from that FTM 2008 installation.

Thanks Jim, I suspected as much. Teresa, thank you too for your input, I found that post about RootsMagic myself.

Cheers

I have been sent a .ftmb file. I suspect it is a Family Tree Maker 2008 backup file but I don't really know. I also don't know whether TMG7 can import a FTM2008 file, but it certainly doesn't want anything to do with this one.

Can anyone tell me what it is and what I should ask for instead?

No application in c:\program files\the master genealogist v7 is associated with the update engine so it cannot check for updates. . .

Just to update you.

 

This is a combination of v7.01, WinVista, the installation being an All users installation, and the installer. Basically, it's an installer issue. And it's being worked on.

I am relieved to hear that this problem is being worked on; it's still a problem for me on my nice new Vista-32 laptop.

Thanks Virginia for your suggestion. It now also happens even if I'm not adding a new person, but updating tags on an existing person. It is becoming very annoying.

Does it seem to make a difference how the PE is sorted - like by Collapsed list?

 

You could try resetting the Add Person template (Add Person Template > Setup > Reset Template).

In the last couple of days I have started getting the following error when adding a new person:

Alias ‘BASE2’ is not found. 0 FRMEXPLORER.CNTPVIEW.CNTTREE.MLOADDATASETS

The person then seems to be added – if I hit OK again I get a message about the ID already being used. And then if I try to go to another person I get an Open Table (.dbf) window. The Project Explorer goes blank.

It seems to only happen when I have the Project Explorer open, which it usually is. I am using 6.09 UK version, and have 10327 names and 7625 people.

I've tried shutting down, and I've tried all the Mintenance tasks like Validating File Integrity.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Carole
