Re: [LegacyUG] Incompatibility with Windows 10?

I have none of these problems (see Brian’s post below; all other posts trimmed off). There has been an occasional slowness in redrawing all the screen components in Legacy – but I believe that is related to memory leaks in Internet Explorer 11 when I have an excessive number of browser windows

Re: [LegacyUG] Incompatibility with Windows 10?

I use Windows 10. It would seem that the sizing 'issue' is only with Legacy. All other windows will size smoothly (for me) without any 'snap back'. It doesn't matter if I have Windows Snap turned off or on. To me it is not an issue after the initial setup - I don't bother to change the window

Everybody's RAM is "solid state". For what it's worth, I recently switched to a new system using M.2 PCI drives (SSD) instead of HDDs yet the springy resizing problem continued. I've gotten a few emails from others who claim they have no problems. I'm beginning to wonder if the problem isn't with

I have just been looking at the Webinair of using Clooz with Legacy. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who uses the two together and whether there is a benefit to using them, or is it as easy to just enter items directly into Legacy. Thank you - June -- LegacyUserGroup mailing

Re: [LegacyUG] Incompatibility with Windows 10?

As someone has said before, the trick seems to be to release the mouse button as soon as you reach the size you want. And that really means immediately! Any pause, and the window reverts to its original size. Hope this helps. John Francis in Suffolk, UK On 27/09/2016 20:44, Brian Lightfoot

The full size window is not the problem (just click the gadget in the upper right corner). But try making your Legacy window take up only the left half of your monitor screen. Click the gadget in the upper right of a full size Legacy window (if you hold your mouse over the gadget which looks

Denise, There are two Legacy FB groups - the one you link to on the website is the one the public site, which Geoff posts to, which is why it "matches" the Google+ site. Comments can be made on the posts, but users can't start a post. The one for Legacy Users is a different one - it has 10,471

[LegacyUG] Incompatibility with Windows 10?

Under Windows 10, when ones tries to go to a smaller window, the process is not fluid as it is with other programs. There is a time delay and the passage from one level to the other goes by step. It is the same thing with both v8 and v9. There seems to be a sort of incompatibility between
