Elaine, I have a couple of old programs that I like to use for 3D drawing but they were written for Win 98. When I installed it to my computer with Win7 there is an option called Compatibility mode which makes your computer act as if it’s running the older windows program that your FTM 16 is Compatible with. I just had to select the correct one. You need to open the properties on FTM 16 and select the Compatibility box, then check the box for run in compatibility, then on the drop down list select the version of windows it last ran for you. This should get you going, hopefully I didn’t miss a step. Mike

I have Microsoft 2010 and my FTM 16 does work with it. However, when I had a similar problem when a worm invaded my computer, I could not get FTM 16 to run for me. I had the computer guy from Staples come and he was able to get it installed. Don't know how he did it and hope the worms go somewhere else! I understand entirely how you feel about the new version of FTM. It is just too complicated and I don't like the index on the page all the time. I guess as we "mature" we don't want to give up what works for us. Hope you find a solution to your FTM 16 viewing.

Very happy with it and last uploaded it to my new computer February 2013. No problem. Well I got a worm or something in the computer and had to totally re-install Windows 7 (bought Windows 7 because it supported FTM 16!!) and all my programs. I have had no problems reloading any of the other programs I have except FTM 16. When I try to install it, they tell me they no longer support it and won't let me upload it and tell me I have to get the new version. Problem is, I don't want the new version. I will gladly pay them for the new version BUT i want FTM 16, the one I am used to. I have enough problems at this age to figure out what I am doing half the time and don't want to learn a new program, don't know if everything I have in FTM will upload to the new program and am not a happy camper. Anyone else have/had this problem and is there any solution in my favor at all? I do intend to contact FTM tomorrow and ask but am hoping I can get some input from someone else who have/had this problem. Thank you.
