Walter, 1) my experience tells me that your hardware configuration and sizes is not the problem, but there could of course be some strange hardware error (thunderstorms are definitely not friends of delicate computer electronics!). Maybe your insurance company would pay for a general overhaul or a new machine? 2) in my control panel, add/remove properties, my CFTW Ver 2.51 is listed as "Cumberland Family Tree (32-bit)". Have you tried to reinstall from scratch? Remember to take backup copy of your database file. Good luck Jens E.
