The easiest way to upgrade to V1.4 is to simply install V1.4 over top of the old version. This is the simplest, but will leave some unnecessary files around. An advantage to this method is that a registered version will not have to be re-registered.
In case you choose this method, and want to remove the old unneeded files, here is a list of the files you can delete manually:
With this method, you first uninstall the old version, reboot, then install the new version. This is the cleanest way, but you will lose all your registry settings. The registry settings include the list of recently opened files, the current font, and the submitter name and address. They also include the registration information, so if you have a registered version, you must re-enter your name and key. (Your key was emailed to you when you bought the program. If you lost your key, contact the Support Department.)
You should double-check the Start Menu item for Genealogy Research Orgainzer to make sure it is set to launch the correct version.
To check this, click on the start menu and locate the item "Genealogy Research Organizer" and right-click on it. Then click Properties and look at the "Target" file. Make sure the target is gro.exe in the directory you installed it in.
If you need to fix the start menu item for any reason, you can do so from with the program itself. Run the correct version of the program (note that you must do this from the Windows Explorer if the start menu item isn't correct). Choose from the menu: File|Setup, click the Remove button and then click the Add button. This will attempt to remove the current start menu item for GRO, and will add a new item that will launch the current program (which is presumably the one you want it to launch).
