Angelique,
I’m inclined to agree with you here. I had few problems with Legacy in the first years actually using the programme and downloads. I’ve always used deluxe. But since Legacy 7, I have struck troubles. I cannot open one large family file. I know from the file size and the extension that it’s my full updated legacy file, I just can’t open it. Unfortunately I did not save it to a gedcom file as well so I’m stuck with it in lurkdom and unavailable. Also I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled 7.4 umpteen times and I still cannot get the programme to open after the initial download and open session. In that initial session, I also could not get the reports to work or add a new person or use descendant narrative etc. I have the legacy 7.4 latest update on my Start button but it won’t open!! When I last downloaded it – yet again – I quickly saved all my current working family files to gedcom so I can now use them with other programmes. I’ve had nothing but frustration and trouble in recent times with legacy and like others am wondering if I really should bother with it any more. It seems the bigger the programme, the worse it becomes. The main reason I use Legacy is because of it’s publishing book creation functions and it all worked beautifully up to about 2006 when I published my last big family history. I’ve gone back to FTM temporarily to see how the latest version compares in its publishing features but have joined this list to try and get some answers and help.

I think I am done with Legacy after this project. It was great for the first 3-4 years, but these last two have geared me toward finding another program. Sure, all the features are great. But I am running into things left and right that are only taking hours of my time. Time is money. BTW, I am also using XP with SP3.

I chose entire family and absolutely NOTHING happens afterwards. I have tried repeatedly for a different result, but get NOTHING. I have used this option plenty of times, but not since updating to 7.4.0.25. What is going on here? Sorry, but I do not know, mine works fine with Windows XP SP3. If you are using a different o/s then perhaps someone else can try it. You may like to try File>File Maintenance>Check/Repair to see if that works. Otherwise I can only suggest that uninstalling/reinstalling may resolve the problem.
