As Dennis menitoned, you need to make sure you have the same build on both computers - overwriting the .exe and other files in the new installation with a previous build could really mess things up for you.
Your settings and preferances are stored as .USR files in the main c:\Legacy folder. You would need to copy any custom ColorSchemes over as well as your saved report settings and any reports, etc you may have saved to the c:\Legacy folder. Copying the Legacy folder from the old machine to a new machine doesn't register the program and you can run into problems there also. You would have to reinstall over the folder with the latest build from our website. Of course, you need to install on a Windows 7 computer per the instructions found at www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/helpWindows7andVista.asp.
