Frequently Asked Question

This can occur if DEP (“Data Execution Prevention”) is enabled for all programs on your PC. In that case, you can solve the problem by simply adding Family Historian to the list of programs for which DEP is not enabled. To do this, open ‘System’ within the Control Panel, and click on the Advanced tab. Click on ‘Settings’ in the Performance area and choose the ‘Data Execution Prevention’ tab. If ‘Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select’ is selected, click the Add button and locate the Family Historian executable (usually located at “c:\program files\family historian\program\fh.exe”). Save the changed settings.
