Cathy thank you for your help with these issues. I appreciate it. I did not change the default location on the install of Legacy 7.5. I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium as my operating system. It chose the location. Do you think I should do an uninstall of Version 8, then an uninstall of Version 7.5 and start over choosing to install Version 7.5 in C: instead of in the programs file on C: ? Or do you think this would only cause more issues?
