Re: [LegacyUG] V6 and Windows 98
Glen, If in fact you are correct that "there are a lot of users still on Windows 98", then it behooves Millinnia to continue to keep Legacy compatible. It should not be difficult as Millinnia had earlier versions that were compatible. This update from version 5 to 6 is not a major change, just a few added features and minor cosmetics. Legacy does have major bugs. We see too many reports of freezing. While some reports may be do to dirty PCs, IMHO, most are do to incompatibility between the PC and Legacy, due to Legacy's coding. I am confident that Millennia will clean up some of the bugs. I would hope they work more on cleaning, than on new features for a while. It hurts to see such an excellent program get so many justified complaints. JimS If you calculate your power to be less than that of the opponent, then strengthen your defense.

I think it's very fair. First of all Microsoft supports Win 98, not Millennia and I think they've kinda dropped it now. But as long as the Millennia uses the part of the Application Program Interface (API) that is supported by Windows 98, then Legacy should run on Win 98 and all subsequent versions, unless Microsoft decides not to support the old API on a new release of their OS. jr Legacy User Group Etiquette guidelines can be found at: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp To find past messages, please go to our searchable archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup%40mail.millenniacorp.com/ To unsubscribe please visit: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/LegacyLists.asp

I too ran a performance graph and noticed the same thing. Every time I opened another window in Legacy, the graph shot up to the top, then right down again.

[LegacyUG] V6 and Windows 98
This question is getting enough chatter to indicate that it is an issue, perhaps even a problem, to many users/buyers of Legacy. A couple of points: 1) Let's realize that there is a difference between Windows 98 and 98SE. The latter handles memory management, swapping, etc. much better. Some have suggested that the problem lies with Windows 98 (or 98SE). This wouldn't surprise me but does make one wonder why did it not come out during beta-testing. 2) Is anyone hearing anything from Millennia about this? Are they aware of the issue and if so are they addressing it or just ignoring it? Or, are they still out of town?

Re: [LegacyUG] V6 and Windows 98
Anybody wanting to use Legacy 6 on a Windows ME or earlier Windows versions, you might want to visit these two sites and read very important information for yourself! http://aumha.org/win4/a/resource.php and http://www.mytechsupport.ca/support/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2938 The gist of what you will read there is that due to its resource limitations of just 64K of memory resources each for anything of a graphical nature (GDI - Graphical Device Interface) and User Resources (used by applications as opened) are limited "Heaps", yes, that is what they are called, and CANNOT BE INCREASED IN SIZE, regardless how much RAM you have installed in the computer. Their size is limited due to backwards compatibility with older 16 bit programs. Anne Hollingshead wrote: I kept WIN 98 because it had taken me so long to get used to it. Running Legacy 6 on a Windows 98(SE) computer can be done provided you don't stress the system! There may be other Legacy 6 scenarios that will crash Legacy outright. Last night I went all the way through the process to View a Descendency Report. As each of several windows opened the GDI resources took a small hit decreasing to a mere 33% of available resources. If you have other applications already open or open them AFTER loading Legacy 6 you can expect a Run Time Error when the GDI resources literally decrease to 1%. That's what happened when I opened my word processor after the Despondency Report was on the screen. Loading the word processor first crashed Legacy6 - Run Time Error - about 3/4 way though opening up windows toward viewing the Descendency Report. At no time was there ever a concern with other system resources such as User Resources, main memory used by the kernel, etc. It was the lack of GDI resources that crashed Legacy 6. Note: Good old Norton "System Information" provided the resource percentages. What would I need to change to get LEGACY 6 to work ? Probably YES. Windows XP, based on the NT kernel, doesn't have the 64K heap limitation. Would more memory be enough ?/ No. More memory wouldn't help a Windows 98(SE) system. (Remember, the 64K limitation cannot be overcome.) The computer I used for the above test and results was on a Pentium II, 350MHZ processor with 256M of RAM. Sure, a faster processor would have speeded thing up but would NOT solve the resources limitations. From technical writings I learned that Windows 98SE could actually slow down with more than 384 MEGs of RAM, so the optimum number is 256MEGs since 384 is not an attainable number due to RAM chip configurations. Computer speed is actually a direct result to processor speed. After a computer uses up installed RAM, the dynamic swap file on the hard disk is used as sort of an extension of real memory. Using the swap file for writing bits and bytes is slower than writing to real RAM but unless you have very sophisticated timing instruments, I dare say the difference in speed is mostly imaginary. Increase the processor speed and things begin to FLY! I have Operating System System Model Windows 98 SE (build 4.10.) Processor a Main Circuit Board b 2.60 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4 8 kilobyte primary memory cache 512 kilobyte secondary memory cache Board: ASUSTeK Computer INC.

RE: [LegacyUG] V6 and Windows 98
Ed, It wasn't that you were not clear. I was just curious and wanted to know other's sentiments as to how long Millennia is expected to support older OS's. I guess I should have stated that a little more clearly. I still have Win98SE on an older computer (PIII/550 - 512 MB ram)at home just for testing of other software. However, I have switched to XP for my main OS. I have a Sony laptop with XP sp2, a Centrino processor running at 1.8 GHz and 512MB RAM and am having no technical problems with Legacy and many other apps running together. With the thousands of possible hardware / driver combinations for today's computers and older flavors of PC's, it is hard to track down issues with older OS's and maintain good functionality with the newer OS's.

RE: [LegacyUG] V6 and Windows 98
It runs on some windows 98 SE machines. We did some tests this afternoon (Dutch translation group). At first I got an error 7 (memory problem), after changing video cards (from 32 MB to 64 MB) this problem didn't occur anymore. My system: cpu P3 500 Mhz 256 MB RAM Geforce 2 MX 400 64 MB (most recent driver) Maxtor 80 GB Hard Disk windows 98 SE (all updates) I had Legacy and Word open, connected to the internet, Virusscanner running. I opened Split Screen, made a Possible Problems Report (Split Screen still open) and clicke on Edit Marriage and Edit Husband (at this point a got an Error 7 with the 32 MB video card), now it was ok. So I think it's possible to install Legacy on an windows 98 SE OS but not with the specifications as stated on the Millennia website. I don't believe it will run on an windows 95 computer but cannot test this because I still have this OS but not installed on a computer.

Re: [LegacyUG] V6 and Windows 98
The point is not that they should support old systems, rather that they have not been up front with the demands of the new version -- the system requirement page still indicates that Win95 and 64 RAM is adequate for the program's operation.

Re: [LegacyUG] V6 and Windows 98
Ron, On Win98SE (old 550MHz PIII), Legacy's CPU usage spiked at 83% when opening Individual's Information from Family View. Overall CPU usage went to 97%. After the screen was displayed, Legacy went to 0% and overall went down to 6% (4% of which is due to the process explorer program that I'm running). Actually, overall CPU usage spiked at 100% when starting Legacy. I don't see CPU spikes as problems unless high usage become continual. In fact, even continued high CPU usage just means we're getting our money's worth, right? :) I don't expect XP would be less CPU intensive than 98. I have it, but I *really* don't want to upgrade. The only thing that would spur me to do it at once is a massive security exposure that M$ would refuse to fix in Win98. But at this point, if there is to be a massive security exposure, I expect it would be in XP. Ed Ron Ferguson spoke thusly: Hi Ed, I have XP Home with SP2 and Intel Celeron CPU 2.40Ghz. Everything runs OK but out of interest I ran the performance graph for a while whilst running V6 and there is a terrific spike in CPU usage when going to the Individual's Information page from Family View. There are always spikes when starting something usually around 70% but this was reaching 92% at times.

Windows 98 is what I use, and I will not be upgrading anytime soon. Elizabeth C I am running Windows 98 SE and when I installed and tried to run Version 6 I could not because of my video card driver. I kept getting a page fault error in the driver. Unfortunately my video card is A VOODOO 3 2000 by 3dfx, a company which went out of business years ago. The most recent version of the drivers I have date from 1999. I have tried Google and found there are third party drivers for that I have downloaded. I will give them a try but in the meantime I have other machines that are more modern and I simply installed Version 6 on a P4 machine running Windows XP SP2 where it runs fine. Just thought I would warn those with older (ancient) machines that Version 6 may have hardware issues even though the stated requirements may be met in terms of memory and processor.

RE: [LegacyUG] V6 and Windows 98
I loaded Legacy vs6 on my Win98 laptop and had no problems. My laptop is slow but that is not Legacy's fault. I did delete some extra software that I don't use regularly to give it some more room.
