Subject: [LegacyUG] Legacy v8 any build - Windows 7 -- Check/Repair on large 
database

Could any of you who have a very large database, like over 100,000 records, 
tell me if check/repair works well for you.  I've seen it (on a file of 169,000 
records) finish in three minutes on one system, but on my system, and a number 
of others I've tried, it either fails with an error, or hangs for five to 
fifteen minutes on various steps along the way, often hanging right away in the 
middle of rebuilding indexes.

I have Windows 7 installed, and I've tried changing many settings and Services, 
and eliminating programs that might be interfering, but to no avail.  Anyway, 
it hangs or fails the same way on many of the new computers at our local Family 
History Library.  Any PC that has Windows XP will run Check/Repair without any 
problem, no matter how big the file is.  I should say that I've not seen any 
such problem on smaller files ( I suppose under 10,000 records)..  I have many 
small files which are the ones I usually work on, and have no difficulties with 
them.

Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. :-)
