Thread: Trouble using FTM with Vista windows

catwoman · 09-06-2008, 05:38 PM

I have an old version of Family Tree Maker, but Vista won't run it. I've been told there is a patch I can download... has anyone else had the same problem... & is there a solution that works?

Hi Kirst,

Have heard from quite a few peeps that there is a patch available in order for FTM 2006 to run on Vista...
