 Another great program from FTM September 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The FTM Version I had wouldn't work with MS Vista so I chose this new version to load and learn before I had to upgrade to a new operating system. It is a little hard to get used to the new screens, but after working with it a bit I think it is going to be great.br /Like the way the trees print out. Awesome.br /
 Does not support Family Tree Maker Web Sites version 9 and earlier!!!! August 18, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have been maintaining a family tree with Family Tree Maker 9 and earlier versions for a number of years. I needed to update the site. In the process I decided to upgrade to the lastest version of Family Tree Maker 2008. I recieved the product and soon learned from the Family Tree Maker technical support that this version would not work with my current Family Tree Web Site version 9!!! It took a great deal of time and effort to create my current Family Tree Web Site. Now to use the latest version of Family Tree Maker 2008 I must creat another Family Tree Web Site. What are the people of Family Tree Maker thinking? It is questionalbe how long they will keep the old web site up, techinal support was not sure. Must I maintain two web sites now? I believe the software should be seamless and all changes created by Family Tree Maker should be transparent to the customer. I feel let down and decieved by this product.
Family Tree Maker is amazing August 16, 2008
This software is amazing. It is also overwhelming - there is a lot to learn to really utilize the software completely. It is easy to spend hours "lost" in family history. One thing that sold me on this product was the six months of Ancestry.com for free. It has allowed me to try this site before purchasing a subscription - which is expensive. I am very pleased with the product.
 Not compatible!!! August 14, 2008

I have the Family Tree Maker version 3.01 and I've had it for many years. Loved it, but decided to upgrade to the 2008 Family Tree Maker and see wha was new. I have a desktop and laptop, both with Windows XP and a new desk top I got in Dec. '07 with Vista. Since this 2008 version said it was compatible with Vista and XP, I bought it. Well, I will say, it is compatible with XP. Everything wenr in as it was supposed to and even went to other sites and my old version and entered information into the program. But when it came to Vista, the program went in okay, but when I tried to get data from other sources, nothing happened. When there was a clue online about any of my relatives and I clicked on it, the program closed. All I can do is enter information. The only saving grace with all this is they gave me a six month membership to Ancestry.com. br /br /I called support and a nice woman from Utah told me, after we tried several things to make it all better, she would send me instructions about how to do a "clean boot". The instuctions were five pages long and I barely got through the first page. Okay, I'm not a technical person, but I know a little. Now they have sent me an email telling me that they are going to send me the newest version of FTM, 2009. br /br /The only reason I gave two stars instead of one is because the woman I talked to was not in India. I have nothing against the Indian people, but I can't understand most of them. br /br /So don't believe all you read on the box. They lie, like so many things it is not compatible with Vista. Microsoft, get on the ball!!!
 great product August 11, 2008
Great product!! I bought it for my dad and he loves it.br /He was using an older version and needed to upgrade. I found a good deal on amazon for the Platinum edition. He still goes on and on about how great it is.
