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.

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 .

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.

You need to do a clean install of TMG. See the second message in this topic.

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.

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.

Make sure that TMG's check for messages is disabled.

Preferences / Program Options / Startup and Exit / Check for messages every ___ days / set to 0 (zero)

I'd also set check for an update to 0 (zero) days.

I suspect that you need to use a printer driver other than the Win11 driver.

Have you tried restarting your system?

That's the name of the file. Check the folder where your exhibit files are stored. Of course, if it's missing, it won't be there.

The name of the file is 'Last VFI.log'. The filetype is .'log'.

You can edit image files in the Exhibit Log. It is always better to use an external image editor rather than this built-in editor.

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.)

I moved my main data set to RootsMagic almost 9 years ago and, from there, to Family Historian about 2.5 years ago.

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.
