Mike, Go to: Options> Customize> Locations> Click on the button: View Current List of Multimedia Locations. All paths should begin with C:\Legacy\ the Docs or Picture or Sounds or videos. Is Legacy installed at C:\Legacy\ ?
When you see the "Question Mark" icon you should never select "Have Legacy Search for the File"!!!! This button is totally useless in Legacy as it says Legacy cannot find the file then asks if you want Legacy to search for the file. Duh!! Hope this helps. -- Richard Van Wasshnova http://www.gencircles.com/users/vanwasshnova http://gw.geneanet.org/vanwasshnova On Tue, Dec 28, 2010 at 9:38 PM, Mike Bridgeford <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Forum members, > > > > I have had several problems with the Legacy program after changing over to > Windows7.
