Lee, I decided to use my TMG since it went defunct. I skipped all the serial number stuff. I found out that the add button does not work nor can I print anything. Do you have any idea as to what I have done wrong? -----Original Message----- From: tmg-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:tmg-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Lee Hoffman/KY via Sent: Sunday, September 20, 2015 11:17 PM To: John Nunnally; tmg@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [TMG] Clueless questions about TMG At 9/20/2015 18:10, you wrote: >At the risk of touching the third rail. . . > >Karen's situation is a very strong argument for considering getting our >TMG data into another program so it can be supported if we are >fortunate enough to have someone who wants to perpetuate it.

That is certainly your perogative. But, I certainly don't see the need to switch any time in the next five or more years. There are many experienced users here and on the TMG Forum that can help with all kinds of problems. No one, so far, has come up with an answer to Karen's slow operation. But, that is mainly because this kind of problem really needs hands-on expertise as too many variables are involved. For this reason, it tends to be a slow process of ask, receive suggestions, try, reply and get more suggestions. By the way, I know a number of TMG users who are still using old versions of TMG. They never upgraded because they don't work with genealogy that much. About a month ago, one of those was still using TMG v4.x just prior to his death. Of all those users, only one experienced any problems and that was when he upgraded his computer to a 64-bit machine. After asking me about that, he got his technician to install a copy of WinXP in a virtual machine and is happily still using his old version.
