Amy, FTM2010 will work on Windows 8, as it does with Windows 7. I think you will find that the Compact File will help you in the future IF you experience this problem again.

I think that even though FTM 2010 will technically work on Windows 8 that it is really not compatible with it. I had based the Compatibility on https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/win8/CompatCenter/Home where Microsoft says it does work. Anyway the compact file fixed part of my problem temporary. Looks like I will have to get FTM 2012.
