Here's a detailed explanation...

Alton, I'll need to see your project. I'm assuming that you're running TMG v9.05. You can send me your project to: (removed since there has been no response) Make a backup with project files only and send that. Jim

TJ, Here's a download link for the TMG v9.04 US installer. https://www.mediafire.com/file/5o21n62kfa3iupg/tmg9.04.0000.exe/file Please let me know when you have downloaded the file so that I can remove it from the server. Jim

0xc0000005 errors are timing errors and are not fixable by the user. Other than the reinstall that you just did, I have no ideas. The problem doesn't come from the Windows 11 installation per se (and I'm assuming that Windows 11 is fully updated). It's something else about your system.

Since VFP9R.DLL seems to be the problem, I'd go one step further. Uninstall TMG. Delete the TMG program folder ("C:\Program Files (x86)\The Master Genealogist v9"). Then reinstall TMG and see if that resolved the problem.

The Sample project is in the TMG program folder. "C:\Program Files (x86)\The Master Genealogist v9\sample" You can copy the Sample folder from the program folder to the Projects folder in your TMG user data folder.

> My old laptop shows under Backup Data Wizard: > C:\Users\2390\Documents\The Master Genealogist v9\Projects\MergedFamily_.PJC You can use a flash drive to copy the 'The Master Genealogist v9' folder from the Documents folder on your old machine to the Documents folder on the new laptop. When you run TMG on the new laptop, use File / Open to select your project. Be sure to check Preferences to be sure that the paths for the project on the new laptop are correct.

You need to unlock TMG twice. 1) Unlock when running TMG normally (as a standard Windows user). 2) Unlock TMG when running as administrator. Right-click on the TMG shortcut and select 'Run as administrator'. Select [Yes] in the user Account Control prompt and enter your registration information to unlock. Exit TMG when done and run TMG normally after this.

This appears to be a problem with the TList7 control. In other words, this is a program issue, not a data issue. First try Control Panel / Programs and Features / The Master Genealogist v9 / Repair. If Repair doesn't work, then you should do a clean uninstall and reinstall. Uninstalling/reinstalling will not affect your data; however, I'd backup your data first as a precaution .

List of Names... Filter... Tag Type... Label Equals NAME-VAR AND # of Citations Equals 0 END ...

I checked the focus group tool on my installation and found no problems. You should select one person (different from the current person) and add that person to a empty focus group. Then select that person and test each of the functions one at a time. Test adding a spouse, adding ancestors, and adding descendants.

Terry is right. A number of external applications (anti-virus, anti-malware, syncing, real-time-backup, etc.) have been found to interact with TMG and cause problems. This is a likely cause of your issue. You need to work through there applications and determine if you can resolve the problem.

All operations are in relation to the names selected in the list. Spouses are only added for the selected name(s). If you want to add missing spouses for everyone in the list, select all and tick Spouses and then click [Add Others].

Kirk, Great. Cleanup will take a while but it's worth the effort... places, fact sentences, etc. Jim
