So why not a symbol for other events? It seems odd. And there is no explanation

Both Legacy and Family Search have been testy today.
Legacy 8 (with the latest update) suddenly decided it wouldn’t open my usual
file, set up by name in options, and seemed to be looking in the old C: Legacy
folder. It took a while to work out why it wouldn’t load, i.e. it seemed to be

To add again my thoughts on this mix. The only way my paid technician found to
get W8.1 to work was to reconfigure it from 64 to 32 bit and install W 8.1 as

I would still recommend staying away from W.8
