I've been following this curious thread and have never seen anything
like this problem. I run my computer all day most days and then some
nights as well for Mozy to do its backups, and then on into the next
day. Sometimes I'll shut it off before firing up Mozy for the night,
but if it's already going I just let it keep on without interruption. I
also have an excessive amount of RAM onboard so maybe that's the
difference. I also have about a dozen programs that boot up with
Windows that never shut off although Legacy is not one of them.
Somedays I even move as much as 20 GB of files around with resorting and
renaming and re-cataloguing things without so much as a blip. The only
problem I've ever seen is Window's inability to rename thumbnails
without getting confused about which name belongs to what.

I do shut down my computer completely every night.
I've always run with far more RAM than the minimums listed as required
by Microsoft. At least twice as much as system requirements for a
Windows version I regard as the bare minimum.
My guess is that it is a memory problem. But anything like this that
happens often should be followed up with support. If you've really
lost data, that's even more important.

I very often leave Legacy open for days at a time, and have never
experienced this problem, although I do occasionally get a little funky
behavior - not this extreme, and no data loss. When it shows the
first sign
of entering its funky stage, I back up, close the program, and reboot
the
computer.
I am on Vista Business.
