Everytime they add a new feature they break something.

Today they introduced a "View Relationship to Me" button.

Now, whenever you try and save a record to an exiting person, it will only allow you to save it to a new personin a new tree.

Idiots!

I can't save a census record on vista
I can on XP but that computer is a bit bost!

I have no idea why I can't save it on vista think there is a problem
but I can't fathom that help bit on ancestry.

have you been able to save it though?
it says do you want to save to your shoebox computer etc

but it won't let me save to my computer

I did save it, but by "printing" to pdf or microsofts image writer. I used to be able to right click and save the image, but they've buggered that up too!

Thanks snoops will get my son to show me how to do that

Don't know if this works on all pc's. On ours if you select print and instead of your printer (there should be a drop down menu) select microsofts image writer and "print" as normal - it'll ask you where you want to save the image to. Image writer was standard on our pc, so you probably have it.
For PDF's I think you need a special program.
Hope this helps

I also can't save them with vista, infact there is not much I can use ith vista my FTM, NBI, software that came with my digital camera, Scanner just to mention a few. So think it will be cheaper to save for a windos laptop than change all my software.

This is a bit long winded but this os how I go it on vista...
Click Save this image
A box comes up to save as
I browse Folders and click documents
type what to name it
then I get a message saying
for your security this file was saved to Temporary Interner Files Folder
Do you want to open this file?
Click yes
double click C
double click Users
double click where yu saved it
double click documents
find it in there and click
then click file
make a copy
and save where you want it

I use Windows XP, and I always save to desktop, and have never had any trouble.

I used to Jimmy. Save it there and then move it to where I needed it.
Vista is different
I cant see what I read before yet...Im sure it was something you had to change options on
