Hi Norma, Go to the C drive where your Legacy program is. In the Legacy program folder you will find .usr files. If you can't see the extension, in Windows Explorer or My computer you need to go to ? Tools or View menu - where you find the Folder options and untick Hide extensions for known file types.
Try just deleting the Legacy.usr file first. The .usr files hold your settings for Legacy. They don't have any data. They can be deleted. When Legacy restarts, it will recreate the ones it needs with the default settings. So you'll have to go to Options > Customise and rechoose the particular options you like to work with.
