Brian, I barely understand what you are talking about when you say "virtualization"... but my ears perked up when you mentioned UAC. I just turned off UAC in Vista x64 2 days ago. I was tired of the constant pop-up windows asking me if I "really wanted to do this..." for EVERYTHING!
So far no errors in Legacy 7. When should I expect errors to occur? My Legacy program files are in the C:\ drive as recommended. The .fdb and photos, PDFs etc are in my Documents and Pictures folders, not in Legacy Data.
