That’s because the capability was geared for business which uses Windows 7 Professional and also costs more. So keeping costs down for home users meant sacrificing some features – this is one of them, sorry. If you have 7 Home Premium the only way to get virtual xp is to buy a Windows 7 Professional upgrade pack. So it is a shame that Macbeth will not bring out an updated version. After all it costs quite a bit to get the disks.

Windows Home Premium is a cut-down operating system that has most of the front end popular use inclusions but deliberately does not have networking and compatibility components included. All/most PCs ship with Windows7 Home premium. This is by design so that you get hooked on Windows7 and then find you need more and thus have to pay for a Professional or Ultimate version of windows 7 (either 32 or 64 bit. 64 bit is the trend as it runs much better on newer hardware.
If you want to compare the versions of Windows 7 look here:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows7/products/compare

Quite often, the problem is not with the operating system but rather with the browser. Internet Explorer 9 has a compatibility mode that can be turned on to view older style web pages on the internet and or that are used to view CD databases. You can always download and install Mozilla Firefox browser and use it to view older web pages such as those on older CDs. The Monzilla browser doesn’t seem to demand the latest of everything “web” to function.

I have personally run into some issues with Family Tree Maker 2011 running on the Windows7 64 Bit Ultimate operating system. The Family Tree maker support people could not confirm that FTM 2012 was optimised for 64 bit compatibility and I have thus delayed upgrading and may even change my family tree software as a result.

Comment on Australian Electoral Rolls 1903-1980, Updated and Free on Ancestry by Alona Tester

Alona Tester — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 22:42:10 +0000

Hi Barbarba, I presume it’s the 1936 Electoral Rolls that you’re tyring to look at, as there is no Australian 1936 Census. Sadly very few Australian Electoral Rolls exist. They were taken, the statistical info extracted, then destroyed. Anyway the Electoral Rolls show those who were eligible and registered to vote – so they don’t show everyone like a census does. To see the record you will need to subscribe to Ancestry.com.au or look at a Society or Library that has a subscription.

I see you are selling the Parade magazines on behalf of someone.

Comment on Vote Now for Your Favourite Rock Star Genealogists by Judy Webster

Judy Webster — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 21:55:04 +0000

I hope everyone does the right thing and only votes for people whose presentations they have heard and really liked. Please don’t just vote for your buddies – that won’t help conference committees to decide whom to invite as speakers! I also think that Good Content + Irritating Style should mean No Vote.

After attending eight Australasian Congresses, a British National conference, a genealogy conference cruise, various Expos in Australia and London, and dozens of State conferences, ‘Lost In’ weekends and shorter seminars, I am a tough judge – but 15 of the 70+ on the list won my vote.

Comment on Family Tree Maker 2010 Patch Update for Vista and Windows 7 by m edmunds

m edmunds — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 18:21:25 +0000

I have the same problem as anne bonner. When I run an ahentafel, I get strange splices. I might have a 17th century ancestor whose parents are showing as living in the 12th century. When I go to either the child or parents to detach them, they are not there in the list to detach. But when you are in the child’s window, you can see the misplaced parents in the window. No way to break the connection. I also have a large tree and have come across many cases of this. It makes the ahentafel feature just about useless.

What’s going to happen to the original plates? Are all 3000 available to view, and if not, are they to become available at some point? Regards, Gordon.
