I have my family tree information all stored on a very old programme called 'Personal roots Deluxe' by Expert software. Returning to my family history after a break I have a new computer and when I went to load the programme and transfer all the date over the Cd for the programme will not load. The reason is obvious that the new computer is XP and the old 98. The software was distributed to run with windows 95. I have searched the internet for an alternative programme. I just wondered if anyone had any suggestions. To get the data off my old computer is going to take forever if I can't load the programme. Any advice would be welcomed. Kind regards Vicky
