Sherrye, Are you running FTM2012 As Administrator? ___________________________ Mailto:rworthington@att.net ________________________________ From: "SherryeW@aol.com" <SherryeW@aol.com> To: ftm-tech@rootsweb.com Sent: Wed, December 7, 2011 4:47:39 PM Subject: Re: [FTM-TECH] FTM upgrade I tried to open my FTM2012 last night and got a box that said it needed to update with no choice to not do it. I clicked the update and my screen went dark and the computer froze. I had to reboot. I tried again today with the same results. So now I basically can't use my 2012. Any suggestions? Is there a website where I can download the upgrade so I can bypass the "you need to upgrade" screen?

This turns out to have been a bug within FTM 2012 which has been fixed by the recent upgrade. Ancestry list under General Improvements: Login—fixed Web Search login issue. I can confirm that Web Search now works properly for me. Caroline Gurney www.carosfamily.com www.cmgurney.blogspot.com

I see rebuilding from time to time with my 131K people index while running the database on a 7200 rpm SATA 6 drive. Has ANYONE tried running their data file on a SSD instead?

I have not lost an Internet Connection with build 452.

I'm in the process of setting up a Win/7 machine & couldn't get on with that one. The old XP was on and updated earlier. Different internet connections - other processes connected OK on the new PC - I could still have a firewall problem however.

JL, Let's just say that Ancestry has great ideas but the implementation and execution of those ideas leaves a great deal to be desired in most cases and the communication of those implementations and executions is downright pitiful. -----Original Message----- From: J L Hintz <jhintz@visi.com> To: ftm-tech <ftm-tech@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tue, Dec 6, 2011 4:55 pm Subject: Re: [FTM-TECH] FTM 2012 build 452 now Of course it should.
