Genealogyprogram Winfamily in Vista

[Guest]

I use Winfamily genealogy program. Now I will go over to Vista and I asked if
Winfamily ver 6.02 can run in Vista.
The answer was:
You need to install some plug-ins from MicroSoft before WinFamily 6.02 can
operate OK. Ver. 6.02 was not ment for Vista in basic.
Then I asked: What plug-ins?
The answer was:
I`m not able to say, but you need to search MicroSoft/usergroups yourself
cause we`re soon leaving verion 6.02 and enter the new WinFamily 7.
No help from there.

Does anyone know what I should do to run Winfamily in Vista?

Did you ask other users or the Winfamily manufacturer?
If the manufacturer does not know...perhaps it is time to try a
product from a different manufacturer.
Other users of Winfamily should be able to help.

Also try Google for a Vista solution.

I just downloaded and installed Winfamily 6.02 in Vista Home Premium.
It installed ok (trial mode) and seems to work ok, but I am not familiar
with it. I did import one of my .ged files, but don't know what to do with
it....


I use Rootsmagic. I had it installed on my XP computer, upgraded to Vista,
and it works fine.
