Kim, Got my new computer a year ago. I have FTM 2005 and Win 7 and it works fine. Do you have an external HD? I did but even that fried on me. Lost a lot of files. Now have online backup.

I have to reload my family tree maker software, Ive been using FTM 2005...my new computer is running windows 7 64 bit....does anyone know if FTM 2005 is compatable with this or will I have to upgrade? If I do have to upgrade can anyone suggest which FTM they like the best that looks most like the FTM 2005. Its been a long time since Ive upgraded my FTM program...will my backed up files transfer to a new version of FTM? Thanks so much. Kim
