New V5 installation not saving

juro1225 · Post by **juro1225** » 07 Dec 2012 13:24

I installed V5 last night, from the V4 to V5 upgrade.
Everything seemed to go great and V5 opened ok and I was able to open my gedcom into it.
I then installed the 5.0.7 upgrade and trie dto open my gedcom again. Same result; everything seemed ok.
I then opened my gedcom file as a new project. I'd not used a project in V4.
My gedcom opens ok from the project, but if I change anything and try to save, I get a message saying that the file cannot be saved and then tells me that it has saved it under a different name.
I don't understand why it's doing this and would like some assistance if possible, so I can start to use my new software.
Thanks

In order to save as a project, you must first create the new project, and then import your original gedcom file into it.

Is that the way you have worked?

Hi
Yes, that is the way I went.
Created a project, gave it a name, then imported my V4 gedcom file into it.
There seems to be various problems with anti-virus programs running in the background. I'm using AVG.
Thanks

Hi
I seem to have sorted my problem.
I deleted the project I created last night, have changed the project file and then re-created the project.
This seems to have done the trick.

Thanks
