Cathy, The obvious is to delete Legacy.usr, as Legacy will recreate it when it starts. However, with this particular usr file I would excercise a little caution, as you may have to reset all your settings. Deleting will not affect your data in any way whatsoever.
I would ensure that your settings are saved, in particular the colour scheme which can be a real pain to put back - Options>Customise>Colours>Save. If you give it a name to will remember you should just be able to load it back if needed. Instead of deleting I would just put and "X" in front of the file name - so it becomes "XLegacy.usr". Close Legacy and reopen, and see if the problem has gone. If all is OK after a few opening and closings you can then delete it. I do not know which or how many of your current settings will be affected (most, I suspect).

I get the message “error opening user file c:\Legacy\Legacy.usr†Then I am asked “ would like to try againâ€. When I click on “yes†I get the message “Open and save file†then I click on the file it opens. Can anyone tell me how to open the program like I did in Windows XP? I used to click on Legacy on my desktop and it would open. Thanks for any help anyone can offer.
