Don’t know for sure but I’d guess FTM 2008 is not compatible with windows 7. I run FTM 2008 on Vista and it runs fine

This might be worth trying:

I’m not sure I understand the problem, but did you try adjusting the screen resolution or font size?

I have had luck using CCleaner (www.ccleaner.com) to clean up the registry. This sometimes helps and is worth a try.

I would think FTM has a web site with FAQ support. FTM is a popular genealogy program and there are likely independent user help sites too.

Just a guess, but right-click on the desktop and select Properties. This will bring up the “Display Properties” dialog box. Choose the “Appearances” tab, and verify the Font size is set to “Normal”. If not, try the “Normal” setting.

If it is already “Normal”, then go to the “Settings” tab and click the “Advanced” button. Check the DPI setting. “Normal” is 96 DPI. You can change this and see if it makes a difference.

That's all that I can think of to check.

What exact version of Windows 7 do you have? If you have professional or enterprise you can download a Windows XP virtual machine that you can use to run older programs.
