  1. > 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.


  2. 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 .


  3. For RM...

    You should download the TMG v9.05 installer and install that. You have a 30-day trial period with full functionality.

    Import your TMG v4 data set. Afterwards be sure to run optimize, validate file integrity, optimize.

    You then import the v9 data set to RM from the imported TMG v9 project.

    TMG v9.05 installer... 

     

    TMG v9.05

    File / Import / (Simple Wizard selected) / [Next] / select the appropriate TMG v4 option (data set or backup)

    File / Maintenance / Optimize

    File / Maintenance / Validate File Integrity

    btw... Internal exhibits are not imported.

    You can use John Cardinal's TMG Utility to convert internal exhibits to external exhibits.

  4. Running TMG4 under Win10 is not a good idea even if it's possible. You might try the compatibility settings.

    Right-click on the TMG4 shortcut and click Properties and then the Compatibility tab. Under Compatibility Mode, start with  Windows 95 and try that.

    If that works, try the next step up (Win98), and test. If that works, try the next step up and continue until you find the newest Windows version that works. Use that the compatibility mode for that Windows version.

    Do you have a TMG8 registration? If so, I can give you the installer.

    You can download the TMG v9.05 installer but that does you no good without a registration.

    I'd suggest moving to RootMagic 9 or Family Historian 7. I can help you with that.

     


  5. Run File / Maintenance / Validate File Integrity. Select 'Search for missing external exhibits'. Make sure that it has your exhibits folder selected.

    After VFI completes, exit TMG.

    Check the 'Last VFI.log' file in the project folder. That should identify the missing external exhibits.

    (If you've ever used the exhibit edit feature, the last version of the exhibits that were edited could be missing and that can be a permanent missing exhibits error that's of no real consequence.)


  6. You are getting both a exhibit .FTP error and reports with missing text? There are separate issues? If so you have damage to more than one table.

    TMG 9 was created using Visual FoxPro 9 with Service Pack 2 (plus additional add-ons and libraries). For example, GenBridge and the report manager are additional libraries.
