"If" you don't find a solution you "might" want to try the free (Standard version of Legacy. I'm sure you know this but you should backup your existing data. After that you can import it into Legacy. I tried the free version and I liked it so much that I bought the program. http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/Index.asp I have no connection with Legacy in any way other than I use their products. I can only tell you that even the free version has a lot to offer. The Deluxe version which I use has many more report options, you can add pictures and much, much more. If you download it you can buy it for only about $30. I almost never recommend software. After using it I think that Legacy is a bargain. It will even search your data for possible errors and problems. For basic family data entry the free version of Legacy is great! It's free so you can't beat the price. :) Another option might be to see if you can purchase a new version of the programs you are using now. I hope others might know more about options for your using XP and that you might get that to work. It seems you really like the programs you have now.
