Windows Vista 64 bit Compatibility: Can anyone tell me if Family Tree Maker is compatible with Vista 64 bit?

Family Tree Maker 2008 is Vista 64-bit compatible, according to Microsoft's Windows Vista Compatibility Center (the URL is monstrous so I put at end of post). Family Tree Maker 2009 is not listed, probably because it is so new, but if 2008 is compatible I'd have to think 2009 is also. There's a seriously geeky web page that looks at FTM 2009 and includes Vista 64-bit: http://members.shaw.ca/arnie-krause/ftm_2009.htm. All that said, I do not have Vista yet. I found your post because I am considering getting a new computer with Vista 64-bit and had same question. Please post if you have success or failure! Thanks.

The one I received I had them upgrade it to Windows 7 64 bit version. ( they did it for free). Windows 7 runs nice on this computer. Windows 7 is so much better and faster I think then Vista so try to get one with windows 7.

It works fine with Windows 7, including both Home Premium 32/64 bit and Ultimate 64 bit (those are the systems I have). Think about it....why would Microsoft, of all companies, create a product that is not compatible with their latest operating system?

No. It only works with Vista or Windows 7. I recommend the 64bit versions of those OSes. Jeffrey Tranberry Digital Imaging Product Development Adobe Systems, Product Manager, Chief Customer Advocate

(probably a little late to reply) i would assume if it were Windows 7 capable at all, it should run against anything Windows 7.. including 64 bit. that's a good question.. it really is sad that the consumer can't just pick one to their fancy and expect it to run D:they should all run on anything with today's day and age, go figure.

Yes - I've been using PS Elements 7 and Corel PSP Photo X2 on a Vista Ultimate 64 machine for several months with no problems.

I'm using Vista 64 bit and it works excellent with my Vista, I can't truly say a factual yes but, I feel it should work without any problems.

I am afraid not. I have windows 7 home edition 64 bit, and this operating system does not recognize the program. It did not load in my machine. It might possibly load in a 32 bit environment, but someone with this OS will have to comment.

Sorry, I have Windows Vista, and it works great. It is a great game, hope you can play it.

Not sure; I run Win7-64bit on all my machines. Looking at Jeffery's post, I'm thinking "yes" but you may have to run it in Win7 "compatibility" mode.

Yes, TurboCAD Deluxe v. 17 DOES support Windows 7 64-BIT. See http://www.avanquest.com/UK/software/turbocad-17-deluxe-122873 for proof details. (BTW, great question; I was just looking for the answer when I found the aforementioned URL during a Google search.) God bless, be well, and have a wonderful and productive 2012!

Hi I have recently bought a new Laptop which uses the Vista operating system. And so far have had no problems installing games. Many of the games I play are old 2005-7 and all seem to run no problems. Also newer games such as Age of Empires and Medieval Total War II are running well under Vista

All I got when I ordered Version R2013a was the 32 bit version. If the program isn't written to take advantage of a 64 bit system there should be no speed improvement. I don't have any problems running it on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit though.

Yes but... It needs to be SP2 64bit and If you're running vista, you likely have an old graphics card. This needs a pretty good card. Read the specs before buying otherwise it won't run and most sellers don't accept returns on PC games.

What did you find-out about 64 bit compatability. So far< I have not found any drive compatable with 64 bit Vista.

I currently have one running in a 64-bit Win7 system and I don't recall any installation issues. Best of luck.

This is confusing. The company website says it doesn't work with 64-bit systems - does that mean Windows 7? Why don't they just tell us what it does or does not work with - we aren't all computer people.
