If you find your FTM please don't install it until you copy your FTM database to another drive or folder. Because when you completely reinstall FTM there is a possibility of losing all your hard work. Always keep your files that end with .ftw in a different folder than the FTM program. This way you will not lose the data you have entered in your Family Tree Maker program. It is wise to also every once in a while to burn your database (filename.ftw) to a CD for safe keeping so you always have an updated version to reload on your computer in case the computer hard drive gets too full and does what most people calls crashes because there isn't enough room on their hard drive for the Operating System to open and Windows to start. Most tecnicians will reformat your hard drive and your information is lost.

What is the version of FTM 2005? is it version 12? I can not find the box, the discs or anything. I have a lot of older versions (3,4,6,8) but not the most recent. if I knew what kind of box I was looking for I might be able to find it easier. > > I told you it was a stupid question? > Ha! > Cathy Pierce > > > ==== GAEMANUE Mailing List ==== > Always try to be fair, honest and kind!!! > >
