Cheers Margaret ;;;your info would be good about what you think about it

It has more to offer than 2008 in the way of charts and reports etc but I still don't think that adding new data is as easy as in 2006.

As in 2008 though, I like the way when you click on a person it tells you how they are related to the home person without having to calculate on relationships.

Early days though, I will probably find more the more I play with it, or the more that folks on here tell me :D:D

How long did it take to arrive from your order time Margaret?

[borobabs]

Margaret thats the one thing I do like about it the way it shows relationships like that

How long did it take to arrive from your order time Margaret?

Ordered on the 18th Sept and received yesterday 22nd. Not bad saying it said it can take up to 6 weeks.

I've just tried installing the upgrade I've bought, and it's playing havoc with my computer! All sorts of error messages and stuff I don't understand - arrrggghhh! :o

I bought it from TWR Computing, as Elaine suggested, so I'm waiting for their helpline chap to work out what all the numbers and codes mean.

I knew I'd need to set aside a couple of hours! :( Hope it's worth it when it's installed.

I don't understand why you are getting those Bee. I installed mine very quickly with no problem. Perhaps you have a faulty disc?

[borobabs]

Mine went straight on as well as a new program ;;

My full copy arrived from TWR today couldn't have the freebie as mine was too old, and has installed no problem. Have imported one of my small twigs from 2005 no problem, but although I have activated my free account and registered product and received confirmation email, when I try and connect to the hints that are showing against an individual I keep getting a message to say Programme not registered. So I am slightly confused. Any ideas please???

[Heather Positive Thinker]

Hmm I wonder if you have two different user names/passwords on the go? Give ancestry a ring, they usually sort it out for you over the phone when you have this sort of prob.

[Bee]

Well, the chap at TWR Computing thinks it's something to do with my operating programme, or something like that.

Perhaps I should ask for help on the 'Computer' board?

Bee.

PS - On the plus side, I've managed to haggle retrospectively with ancestry about my non-receipt of my month's free subs that I should have had with the 2008 version, and the big hike in subs from the £52 I paid in June last year to £79.95 this year. She's refunding £73.29, giving me a free month, and charging me £66.72 from Oct. Not bad!

[perranmaid]

I have hunted high and low and cannot find the phone number for ancestry could anyone point me in the right direction please???

[Bee]

Ancestry - 0800 404 9723.

I think they're only functioning after 3pm, but I might be wrong.

Bee.

[perranmaid]

Thankyou Bee.
