Also, regarding the use of MAC machines...The new Macs have the ability to run both Windows and Mac programs.  Any of the CD's which have the Adobe logo; for example Doherty's and Tree Talks will run on a regular Mac.  The windows CD's which are the majority of those we stock, will only work if the Mac has a special program to run Windows material.

How do I install or reinstall an AncestryView CD?

ANSWER

To install any of the Ancestry View CDs, please follow the simple steps outlined below.

Note: We (Ancestry.com) no longer provide support for these data CDs. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

Outside of this, no other support is offered.
