FTM 2008

[Shirley Cantwell]

My computer has finally had enough and the IT guy managed to get the data off and onto a laptop and he loaded the original FTM 2008 software without updates. The laptop uses Windows 7 for the time being. I need to update the Service Pack 3. Can anyone help?

Hi Shirley

Have you looked at your Windows Updates to see if it is available. It might
be there waiting to be downloaded.

I need to update the Service Pack 3 for FTM 2008 not Windows 7. I could only
find instructions for updating the FTM2008 SP3 using Windows Vista.

Sorry, thought you meant Windows. Perhaps FTM Support could advise.

Did FTM 2008 _have_ a SP3, or do you need Windows SP3 before FTM will run?

Hi Doug

FTM 2008 did have a SP3 but I need to know if it works with Windows 7. When
I had it on my computer I remember it uploading an update but I was only
using Windows Vista at the time.

I have read the article below and it is about a registry update which
enables Family Tree Maker to utilize the current version of Internet
Explorer. I don't know if my FTM 2008 is using the Internet Explorer and I
would not know where to find out if I was.

That was before I even looked at FTM. Legacy does require a minimum
version of IE. I tried to run Legacy on Win7, and it said I needed to
upgrade IE. If you didn't see a message like that, you are O.K.

Mackiev seem to have some good help in this regard. This link may cover
your 2008 files:

For data too old even for that, use the link at the bottom of the page.

I was looking for the minimum requirements for FTM 2008. The best I
could find was:

HTH,

Doug.
