Im sick of 2008

[Heather Positive Thinker]

Thought Id reinstall and register to get the 2009 which I assume is being given to us poor souls who were driven mad by the 2008 version. But having spent about 2 hours trying to register it and getting told Im not connected to the net, then trawling all the FAQ on the problem. Downloading winzip so I could open a patch AND still it wont allow the patch to be installed. Im totally fed up with it.

You can borrow my flawless 2006 version if you are stuck The only Patch I have ever summoned is the dog next door

John I am still using my FTM2006v16 but as everyone is getting a freebie 2009 if they bought the duff FTM2008 I was attempting to register it to get the hopefully improved version.

UPDATE, Gawd knows how but the patch suddenly downloaded BUT before I got too excited when I try to register it says that I have more than one account associated with my email addy and to ring the ancestry number - open til 5 p.m. GMT. I rang it and got an australian telling me the office was closed :(

Is there another number to ring ancestry on for the UK

I use 2006
After seeing all the problems from users of later versions, I will be keeping 2006

As the saying goes
If it aint broke, don't fix it

I have 2006 and have just bought 2008, more to satisfy my curiosity really.

I have to say, I like bits of it but am putting any new info on 2006 and then uploading that info to 2008. I doubt I will be using 2008 full time.

[Heather Positive Thinker]

I think no one should buy the 2008 - stick with the 2006 and wait to see what the 2009 is like. I should imagine they are smarting from the world wide condemnation of the 2008.

Thanks Elaine, but it looks like I shall have to wait til Monday now.
