Unfortunately, no, they are not lying. That version is too old for Windows 7. It may work for a little while, but it will eventually stop working or will continually have problems which could corrupt your database. Running in compatiblity mode may work, but honestly, I think you're better off to upgrade. I have FTM 2010 and it works fine on both XP and Windows 7. I run XP on my desktop computer and Win 7 on my laptop. You might be able to find FTM 2010 cheaper on ebay. I hate changing things too but I think you might like the newer version. Once I got used to it, I actually like it best and I have my trees in 3 different softwares. FTM, Roots Magic and Heritage Family Tree. Jacki _____

I called Ancestry and was told that Version 16 and Windows 7 have compatibility issues which can't be resolved. I ended up having to purchase Family Tree 2011. Version 16 is on my new computer but every time I access it, I Get the incompatibility message. I think I'll wait and see before I install the New version.

When he went to download my FamilyTreeMaker Version 16, it says it cannot be done and I have to upgrade but he says it all appears to be there.....anyone else had this problem switching from Windows XP to Windows 7? I do not want a newer version as I like the one that I have. Are they just telling me I have to upgrade so I have to pay for something I do not want? Thank you.
