I have 4 Gb Ram Pentium D 3.40 Ghz 300Gb disk

I have 264 Gb free disspace. I am using XP PRO

Should have been able to handle my large file, other programs do,
though of course TMG is very slow.

Unfortuneately I don't remember the messages I got. After such a long time I
gave up.

If they have a demo verson of FTM 2008 I might try again and see what the
messages are.

Though if it wasn't supposed to handle more than 250.000 people then that
might be the
reason, since I have close to 400.000.
