I tried it again. This time the windows reopend its help window with the following explanation
Why can't I get Help from this program? Why can't I get Help from this program? The Help for this program was created in Windows Help format, which depends on a feature that is not included in Windows Vista. However, you can download a program that will allow you view Help created in the Windows Help format from the Microsoft <http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=82148>website. For more information, go to the Windows Help program (WinHlp32.exe)<http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=59782>article on the Microsoft support website. I followed the described procedure to the end and reinstalled this exe file (a windows update). When the installation finished I returned to the still open Legacy to close it and restart. I now got a message that Windows help could not find the the Legacy helpfile and that I might have to reinstall it. Since I was about to quit the program I just clicked on cancel. When I restarted Legacy again, the help buttons still don't work, but now I get no error message!?! So far I've tried the help button in the window where I edit the information for a person and then the central place register. No reaction. Maybe this is something the Legacy developers should fix, since people will have the same problem with Windows 7 in the future. Maybe they'll have to rewrite the help system.
