Here's another question regarding FTM 16. Has anyone been able to adapt it to Windows Vista? I have been very happily working with FTM 9 for years, but decided to finally upgrade because of the many new features.. Bad timing on my part. I should have waited at least one more version for the compatibility with Vista. So...I am now working with it on my older computer that has XP. Anyone had any luck with such a move ?
