- | ==== Pedigree for DOS ==== | ||
- | Pedigree for DOS will install and work under 32-bit Windows 7, **but not** under the 64-bit versions unless you have a recent version of the installer. | ||

- | If you are a registered Pedigree user, this download should be saved to | ||
- | c:\pedigree | ||
- | |||
- | The installer is called Ped26N.exe | ||
- | Run the installer to extract the files and program to store them in | ||
- | c:\Pedigree | ||
- | It also sets up Pedigree to be run like a Windows programs in a folder called Pedigree. | ||

- | === Window Size === | ||
- | You cannot run Pedigree for DOS full screen in Windows 7 (or Vista), so you may find its window rather small. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== PediTree: DB32 Fatal Error ===== | ||
- | When running PediTree, you may encounter the following example message (or something similar)\\ | ||
- | |||
- | {{: | ||
- | |||
- | The appearance of a message-box like the above with the same heading is often due either to a missing file or | ||
- | to a fault in your database. From PediTree version 3.330 (February 2010), missing or inaccessible files | ||
- | should be detected before DB32 is involved, so these messages are probably due to a database fault (the example above is one such). | ||
- | |||
- | The quick fix is to restore your database from a recent back-up copy. Alternatively, | ||
- | to repair the database, if possible. | ||
