I did do a restart. I did get it fixed and I still can’t understand what was wrong. Here is how I fixed it. I copied the PICTURE folder onto a flash drive. I had no problems opening up the files on the flash drive at all even though I still couldn’t open them on the hard drive. It just keeps shutting down. So, I deleted the PICTURE file from Legacy completely. Then I copied and pasted the PICTURE file from the flash drive into Legacy and now it is working just fine. I can’t understand why, if the file was corrupted in some way, it would allow me to copy the folder/files to a flash drive and they work fine. Very odd.

Does not sound like a Legacy issue since you can't open the files using windows explorer either. First thing to do when this sort of thing happens is to totally shutdown and restart the computer. I've always been told to shut it down and leave it set for a couple of minutes then do a restart.

It will shut down IE and Firefox. (This is a picture that I am saving from a web page). It will let me save the picture anywhere else without a problem. Now the problem gets worse. I try to just look in my Legacy Picture folder. When I click on Pictures it takes forever for it to open but then it does. But if I click on the subfile People (this is where I keep pictures of people) then I get a Windows Explores shut down. It will not let me open the file folder at all. I have done a scan disk. I have done a defrag. I have run my virus software. NOTHING. I don’t know what else to do! michele Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
