Hi John

I've emailed the photos to you.

Take care

Hi

I got a reply from support who told me to do what they had previously advised for Vista...turn compatability to XP service pack 2 or 3.  But since I'd already tried that there was no joy.  I've replied to them as requested telling them it didn't work and asking if there's a patch but I don't hold out much hope.  I hate to say but I think it's going to be a case of not binning the old computer just so we can run the software we already have.

Sorry I misread that.  I also found that my copy of Generations won't work on Windows 7.  I don't know why they can't make Windows backwards compatible when they bring out a new version.  After all software isn't cheap.

I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that the LDS bods can help.

Hi

Thanks but I tried the solution suggested in the linked post before coming onto Rootschat today but no joy :( I'd hoped the same solution would have worked for Windows 7.  I've now emailed the LDS tech support.  If I get an answer that works I'll post it.

I've tried that and no joy I'm afraid.  I've just emailed the LDS support folk to try to get an answer.

I've just installed it on my new computer running Windows 7 and received the same runtime error.  I suspect it's going to be an issue needing a patch.  I'm looking for one and will let you know if I find one.

Hi Janis

Thanks a lot, that's very helpful.  One other thing...does it give Agnes Gilchrist Wilson's full name in the source or does it simply give her name as Agnes Wilson?  I ask as some records show her full name and others not.

Thanks again I very much appreciate your help.

I've been told that my 2xgreat grandparents William Russell (a shoemaker) and Agnes Gilchrist Wilson were married at Lamberton Toll.  One suggested date is 10th March 1849.  I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to look it up for me since I don't have access to those records?  As far as I know Agnes was born in Berwick Upon Tweed but William only gives Scotland as his birthplace in the censuses.
