I've been very fortunate with this as well. I just point it to one file and it automatically corrects all the others. All my media are in subfolders by subject and not all in one folder. It's easier to find things this way. The only problem it might have is if I've renamed any of the folders.
Another thing about Windows 7, and I think someone on this list told me about this, Legacy runs better if it isn't installed under Program Files (x86). It should be in the root directory (i.e., C:\). I had all sorts of problems when it was put where Windows 7 wanted to put it. -----Original Message----- From: Sherry/Support [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, December 29, 2010 11:30 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Probelms changing to Windows 7 Actually, I've found that if I use the option to let Legacy search after moving from one computer to another, it amazingly relinks *everything* that didn't have a name change. This is one of the reasons why we recommend multimedia files be kept in their respective sub-folders in Legacy - when you switch computers or share your files with someone else who has Legacy, there are absolutely *no* problems with the files going missing, unless you forget to copy them over or send them!
