I have a new computer with Windows 7 or higher. I cannot install First Class from my CD, or I can install it, but I get an error message when trying to open it.

When attempting to upgrade to a higher version, I get an error message saying bszip.ocx not correctly registered: file is missing or invalid.

When I open First Class I get a Run-time error '9': Subscript out of range.

When attempting to download database updates, I get an error message.

I am getting a new computer. How can I transfer my files without having to re-install First Class and downloading all the updates?

My hard drive crashed, and I lost First Class. How do I restore it?

I cannot maximize First Class to fill the whole screen.

I haven't gotten an update in quite a while. I know my subscription is paid up. Why am I not being notified?

AVSA Show Entries does not launch First Class Version 2.

Labels don't print properly. They either print in landscape mode, or the photos don't line up properly with the text.

It appears that there are several cultivars that are entered in First Class twice, under different names. Is this a mistake?

When I look up a species clone, the name and description at the right are different. Is this a mistake?
