Family tree maker version 11 will it run on windows 8.1

SOURCE: Broaderbund Version 6 Family Tree Maker

Hi madelyn evan,

Version 6 Family Tree Maker is designed to be used with Windows 95 / 98 , therefore in order to use it in Vista you must run your program using Compatinity Mode --> Install your software--> Go to your Desktop --> Right click on the program icon--> properties-->Compatibility--> select one of the versions above
I hope this helps. If so, please take a moment to accept and rate my solution accordingly

when I open FTM 2008 I get the message that the program was not closed properly and that I should compact the last open file at Tools, Compact file but I cannot go to Tools as the program has not opened. I have tried going to my FTM family file itself but do not see Compact file in this menu. any suggestions. Thanks Claire

Yes, it should run on Windows7, as I have done it some time ago. I have experienced a problem with the some printing options to PDF format, and I need to find a amyuni document converter to overcome this problem. Everythings else works and will not cause any problems to your existing files you have compiled

It is not with Home Premium. You need to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional
