I've just done a manual update of McAfee (which subsequently required a reboot of the PC) and Family Historian is still running after 5 minutes (as opposed to the one minute everyone with McAfee has been experiencing over the last 48 hours or so.)

There are rumours that the LDS will be announcing a possible replacement for GEDCOM at the forthcoming Rootstech conference in America in February 2012. There is further information on Tamura Jones' blog: http://www.tamurajones.net/FamilySearchSORD.xhtml Debbie Kennett

Under Gedcom Tasks I have duplicate trees listed and only one is up to date. It is possible to delete the duplicates or will I lose data from the up to date one?

You seem to have created duplicate families - I am sure I have done it myself but I can't remember how. It is easily fixed by merging these duplicate families. Click on the Families tab in the Records window. If you don't have one, click on View->Record Lists->Families and FH will create the tab. Scroll down till you see the duplicate families, select both using Ctrl-click, and then go to Edit->Merge/Compare records. FH will guide you in the merge process but it should be straightforward. In the case of the female, she will appear in a duplicated entry with no spouse as well as in individual entries with the two men. Such families appear at the end of the families list.

I don't want to tempt fate but I too have not experienced any problems. I have a Dell Studio desktop running Windows 7 Home Premium (32 bit) service pack 1 with automatic updates, Family Historian 4.1.3, and an up-to-date copy of McAfee. I do not have the parental controls option of McAfee switched on, nor am I currently using QuickClean, which I understand is supposed to clean up unused system files and registry entries. I wonder if this is cleaning up things that FH uses...? Despite this posting, offered as a potential help in identifying the problem, I respectfully suggest to other list-members that we do not start a "mine's working OK too" chain of postings unless there's something constructive to add - otherwise my In Box will get quickly full!
