When I had a new laptop some years ago which had Windows 10, Family Tree maker was installed and everything moved over. It wasn’t the newest version but it worked.

I have had to have a new hard drive in the laptop and borrowed the disc for family tree maker to be loaded again but unfortunately the disc loads but won’t open. This is the same disc that was on before.

The computer shop is totally bemused as to why the disc won’t load and I’m panicking about all my family history.

Any ideas beyond borrowing/buying a different disc?

Good news - I’m having my first COVID vaccination on Saturday.

Bad news - it’s poured with rain all day.

Definitely a Christmas Day like no other. I went to my church for the Christmas morning service at 10.30. The preacher announced the first hymn ( not for us to sing) and the organ made an extremely loud fart like noise and stopped and the lights went off. Alarms could be heard from nearby and yes you’ve guessed it a large area had a power cut! The organist moved to the piano and the preacher fortunately has a carrying voice as the microphones no longer worked.

Arriving home no heating, lights or cooker. About 12.20 the power came back but my heating didn’t. Out came an old convector heater so the lounge is warm the rest of the flat is freezing. A friend delivered my Christmas dinner which was absolutely delicious and she tried the heating but we think the pump has gone wrong.

In some respects I wasn’t surprised at today’s disasters there’s been enough of them the last 9 months. Soon I shall get a hot water bottle into my bed, I’ve already got out a big fleece blanket for my bed.

I’m trying to get the address of a relation who I suspect has moved from the address I have. I have been asked by another relation to inform the person I’m looking for of a death in the family. I only need 2 credits but as far as I can see I have to register before I can find out the cost of credits. My question is does anyone know how much the credits cost? Many thanks.
