Rod: You are 4 generations back in Windows operating system. You are 5 generations back in Parallels Fusion.
My guess is Legacy 8 has problems with those old systems. I would recommend you upgrade to at least Windows 7 or 8 and Fusion 9. The other option is to downgrade Legacy to about Version 4 or 5 to be more like your other computer software vintage. If your Mac computer is similar vintage as your software, you probably lack enough memory to be running a virtual machine. I recommend at least 8GB and prefer 16 GB when running VMs on a Mac. I would not run the new Windows 7 or 8 with less than 6 or 8 GB in a VM. Most Windows 8 systems come with 8-12 GB of memory today. The older versions of Fusion does not have current drivers to support a lot of the newer software. I think your basic problem is incompatible / outdated software.

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate as a Virtual Machine in Parallels. I am running the most current version of Legacy, L8.0.0.425. I have no problem exporting a GEDCOM file or a Legacy GEDCOM file using the Sample database. What system and versions are you running? Parallels? Windows? Legacy? ___ Leon Chapman [email protected] ----- On Thu, May 15, 2014 at 1:54 PM, Rodney Louis Goff <[email protected]>wrote: > > > I just got off the phone with Legacy and they could not make it work. > Gedcom file will not load to export.
