I think tagging would be easiest. Tag Descendants of the starting person, then untag the sub-lineages and or individuals that you don't want. Then on Export Gedcom, set the Record selection to just the tagged individuals. -Original Message- From: singhals [mailto:singh...@erols.com]

Dee, 32 bit vs 64 bit is a factor of your computer hardware. Most, if not all, modern PCs are 64 bit. So... Win7 32 bit is today a somewhat rare configuration. If you are considering a new laptop, I wan sure it will be 64 bit and whether you use Win 7 or Win8, it will not have a problem with

To add again my thoughts on this mix. The only way my paid technician found to get W8.1 to work was to reconfigure it from 64 to 32 bit and install W 8.1 as 32 bit. I am totally ignorant of ‘bits’ but I just throw this in as an experience I had. I would still recommend staying away from W.8

There is a problem with anything causing a freeze. I haven't seen this freezing myself and I think that's what Jay is saying - they didn't see the freeze either. The program can sometimes appear to freeze because a secondary window has opened behind instead of in front of the primary window.
