When Legacy links to a multimedia file it stores the exact path to the
file in your family file.
For example C:Legacy\Pictures\UncleGeorge\aunt_millie.jpg. or
C:\Documents and
Settings\Username\Documents\Pictures\MyFamily\UncleGeorge\aunt_millie.jpg.

Since you have changed computer and have all your multimedia on a new
drive, probably with a different path on that drive you will have to
point Legacy to the correct path(s).

Go to Options > Customize > Locations
Click the View List of Multimedia Locations button
Select each file path in the list and use the change button
Browse to the new location of that path on the separate drive where your
pictures are now stored.
Click OK to change the recorded file path.

Repeat as needed for all the other paths
