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 Brian Customer Support Millennia Corporation [email protected] http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com -- On 28-Dec-12 05:55, Donna Newell wrote: > I purchased a new computer and I am now experiencing a problem. > > All of my scanned in documents(census records from ancestry, pictures of > graves stones from findagrave) did not come through.
