You all are very gloomy!

But I still thank you for all you do to help us noobs get the hang of FH. Your hints helped me get my program validated and that was the original question.

Thanks again

Great News! :lol: First about Microsoft's support for windows 7, the activation of the new install using the key on the OEM sticker went perfectly. But ya'll were right about there being NO updates installed, although the win7 disc was SP1. Microsoft updates are still available for windows 7, at fir...

Good Morning, Thank you all for your advice. I will look into the windows update question and I will check on the "up-to-date disk image" I went with the "fresh" install of windows 7 because it was the recommended way to go if you are switching to an SSD, actually I have always liked to do fresh ins...

Hello, I am struggling to get my laptop FH install activated. The hard-drive had melt down, I have installed a new HD and have a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro on it, like it had before. I get the following error when trying to login to activate Family Historian 7: Login - Internet Exception caught....

Hello Mark, I want to thank you for the work, I look forward to checking my database with this plugin. I have been "Making Hay" and haven't had a chance yet. I am one of those who imported awhile ago and I have done quite bit of editing to the database since then, so re-importing isn't an option. I ...

Update: The problem that started this conversation was addressed by the update that came out today - 7.0.10 . It works great now!! Here is a quote from https://www.family-historian.co.uk/v7-updates "Media Window When selecting media to display in the Media Window, if you opted to include media linke...

Wow, that "{note} code" works so simple!

I guess I will contact Calico Pie and ask about making a code for Media.

Again, thank you so much for your help, I certainly know now that we can go ahead and import my wife's database.

I believe I understand what you are saying. Of course, I am trying to decide what method of data entry to use in the future, but my issue now is that my wife and I have hundreds facts with witnesses and media in our two RM7 databases that we are importing. We have been big fans of 'shared facts' sin...

Hello again, I just saw this thread "Media linked to Indiviudal Facts missing from Reports" https://www.fhug.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=20331 I wonder if my issue isn't another "quirk" of the witnessing functionality? Although, in the witnesses facts that I am looking at, the Principal is not...

Thank you Mike for your help, Yes, after 15+ years with RootsMagic, I am now switching to Family Historian, I have spent about 30 days in searching for the right buttons in FH to push. ;) It is nice that the "Witnessed" fact shows up in the individuals fact list and that I can use the "More column" ...

I have done a direct import of my RootsMagic 7 file with FH 7.0.9, which for the most part works awesome. But I have found certain media links missing, in RM7, media that is attached to a fact that is "shared" shows for all of the "witnesses" as "media linked to the current Individual" In Family His...

Thank you so much, that got it working.

As always, hindsight is 20/20, I am kicking myself, it seems like I should have thought to do that before asking.

Hopefully I will improve with age

Thank you for the quick response,

I have tried the restart, I will reinstall FH7 and answer yes this time to webview2 and report back.

Thanks again

Hello I have just installed the trial of FH7 and I am trying to get it going. I have searched and searched and I seem to be the only one having this problem. The WebView2 component was not installed during the original installation, so I followed the instructions here perfectly I believe, it wasn't ...
