Thanks Everyone :)
I'm not sure what happened the first night, but everything worked fine last night.
I installed 2010, and it opened fine. It didn't ask to perform any updates.
Then I went to Ancestry.com and took the leap, adding my name & parents online. I got a little leaf! And then another... just like the commercials, lol.
I now have 99 leaves to review, and I found a lot of information about my great grandparents and even great-great grandparents!!
Thanks again & have a great day!
