Win7, laptop, 16 GB RAM-
I upgraded FTM 2011 on-line, bought the back-up CD, worked off the on-line version for a couple weeks. Then, one day it simply wouldn't open, just timed out (yes, I did the 'critical update). Uninstall, reboot, install, reboot,... several times, trying to find what has gone wrong, even did System Restore (back one week, better try earlier).
So, I reached for the CD.
Rejected. Twice.
Turns out, the CD is broken!! It was shipped with a flimsy piece of cardboard that gave the disc no support.
Now, no CD will load, so the broken CD apparently damaged my CD drive!!
Sound familiar?
What's going on with FTM??
