Hi Dianne,

You might want to uninstall and reinstall Legacy 7.5 in the C:\Legacy folder.

If you use the new defaults you can have Legacy
7.5 and Legacy 8 installed at the same time.

You can't use the same database in both versions.

If you have converted your files by opening them
in Legacy 8 using the option to open where they
are, then unless you've got a current backup of
your file(s) you'll have to stay with Legacy 8 -
but hopefully you DO have backups. If so you can restore them in 7.5.

Legacy 8 is designed to be installed in the
Program Files as it came up in the install
process.  You've followed old installation instructions.

Legacy no longer writes to the Program Files when
you are using it so that's the best place for the Program.

Legacy 8 keeps the user settings which used to go
to the Program folder now in the folder: My
Documents/Legacy Family Tree/_AppData.
That folder cannot be moved.
The default for your database files is My
Documents/Legacy Family Tree/Data - but you can
keep them where you like but since you have to
use the My Documents/Legacy Family Tree folder
for the AppData, you may as well use this folder as well.
The default for your attached media is My
Documents/Legacy Family Tree/Media - but again they can be wherever you like.

You may want to get your IT expert to uninstall and reinstall.

The print for the Chronology View is under the Options button.
