Jerry, Oh, I see what you are saying now. As I mentioned earlier, I am a little illiterate when it comes to these matters. So, all I've done so far is import my gedcom file that I had saved from Ancestry.com, I should uninstall RM and reinstall it in my C: drive somewhere? And I know this is probably silly, but what exactly are my backup files? Our elec was out several hours last night so I didn't get to play around much with RM.
Thank you for all your help.

robertjacobs0,
I see what you're saying but I have used Dropbox for a few years in my home based business. There is a shortcut on my desktop and I keep pics of my inventory, all my orders, graphics and more stored there. It's used like another drive on my laptop I guess you could say.
TomH,
Yes, I am the only one who uses my laptop and it stays logged in to me.

Jerry, I changed the place to save it to (I also did this before and I still got the error message) but here it is C:\Users\ladyb\Dropbox\Ancestry DNA Files\Roots Magic Tree\M_M_Tree.rmgc

TomH,
Yes, I am logged in as that. and yes, I can create files in it. I tried using the postimages but it won't let me add them here. I am not real literate when it comes to this stuff. Anyway, when i go to create a database as a first time user of RM7, it is the defaults that come up. I have tried changing them around but to no avail.

Thanks. I tried that and got the same message. Is there a way to add pics to this post? If not, I will post what boxes are checked and unchecked.

Thanks Jerry Bryan. It actually is the default where RM 7 wants to put it. The full address is C:\Users\ladyb\Documents\M and M Tree.rmgc. The M and M Tree is what I put when it asks me to name the new file. I have also tried saving it to different places like desktop, dropbox and also naming it different things.

I downloaded RootsMagic 7. When I click New to start my family tree, I get this message "RootsMagic couldn't create C:blankityblankblank.rmgc. Please make sure you entered a legal file name. I have tried leaving everything the way they have it, changing things like where it wants to put the file and what it wants to show. What do I need to do to use this program? I am using windows 10. I do have FTM but it is an old version 8 for windows 95 98. Should I take it off my pc? It seems to work fine on windows 10. Don't know if that has anything to do with it.
