Thank you for your reply. I put the old version 4 on my computer in a folder named temporary as I read in your FAQs and have checked the external files and all the media have crosses by them. I am not using this file now but have created a new one and all the media is fine with no crosses. All I wou...

They are the second one under Project Folder data as your screenshot. Hopefully that should be ok but I don't have a large enough memory stick to check.

I have already set up Version 6.2 on my new laptop and the old PC has been destroyed. I am manually inputting all the information in again. I want to know how to avoid the same mistake next time. I am using the backup on shutting down but am not sure whether to do whole project folder or just data. ...

I have had the same problem. Please can someone help. I transferred from a PC to a laptop by memory stick and lost all media attached to the Family Historian Project. I have now bought Version 6.2 and used the backup on closing. Just thought I would check the backup file and found that too has cross...

I have just got a new computer and installed Family Historian 4 from my old one. However although pictures seem to be there all census images that I saved with families have disappeared. Any suggestions and how do I avoid this in the future if I get a new computer (luckily this time there weren't ma...

I have just looked at my external links and all the crossed boxes have disappeared! All I have is Project Data Folder>Media and the list of photos and censuses (for which there are no pictures only white blanks with crosses in the media section).
your help has been invaluable

Many thanks I have successfully copied Project to memory stick with pictures and have reset Sample Project. I will tackle crossed boxes in external files later. Do you have any idea why none of my censuses survived?

I have just tried again to save to memory stick with E:Family Historian and it still won't accept it. Unable to create folder.

Also how do I get back my Family Historian Sample Project

PS The edit box just has the name of Documents and Settings do I put C:users/username/Documents and Settings in here?

Have remapped one into Project folder but it still has a cross. Also within the Project folder most of the pictures I scanned are OK but some have crosses and all of the censuses that I took from Find My Past have no pictures. I must be doing something wrong. I did move from Windows XP to Windows 7....

PS My gedcom file tasks seem to have lots of the same name tree most have no pictures but your sample Family Historian does not open either. How do I know if I have only copied gedcom and not project folder.

I am using V4. I found a folder on my memory stick with pictures and transferred it to my computer which seems now to be OK the pictures are by their owners on diagram page. However I have now tried to backup the project folder to my memory stick following your advice to other person on forum - File...

Thank you for your reply. I have copied the old Family Historian Project but it is still blank. All the Work with External Files are all blank with crosses as well. However there is on my memory stick an old version with pictures which I tried to copy and paste but it did not work. Where do I go fro...

I changed computers and all my photos have disappeared. They are blank with a cross in them. Do I have to rescan photos or is there a way of retrieving them. Thanks for any help out there.
