Try running a check / repair under the "File" menu select "File Maintenance" and then "Check/Repair..."
This might fix a few things. You also might want to check your computer's date in the bios. When you restart your computer, go into the bios (before windows begins to start you should be able to hit either del, F1, F2, F10 or some key combo for your particular motherboard / computer. When you are in the bios, see if the clock date in there is set to the correct year / decade. The windows date and bios date can different if windows is set to update the time internally and not get the bios date.

For some reason, Legacy often displays the wrong age of people. I was born in 1963, and Legacy reckons I'm 31. Nice concept (!), but of course I'm 41. My pc is of course set to the right decade for the current date! I've noticed this in lots of places in Legacy. Does anyone have any ideas? 2. The reason I downloaded Legacy was my 7 year old daughter drawing her own Family tree, and I thought I'd surprise her with a 'proper' one. But to my surprise, I can't seem to find a 'standard' family tree view in Legacy. I've even downloaded the GENViewer, and that doesn't have one either. What I mean by 'standard' is one that is a bit like a Org Chart for a company - reading top-to-bottom, spreading out with each generation. Isn't this the most basic 'Family Tree' one expects to see? How come Legacy doesn't have it? 3. Calculating Relationships - even though I've told Legacy I've married my wife, it still tells me there is no relationship between me and my wife's brother. So I thought, "well, if this is about genealogy, perhaps as there is no genetic relationship between us, that's why it doesn't show it." Of course we all know he is my brother-in-law. But Legacy doesn't seem to know it. So then I tried the relationship between my daughter and one of her cousins on my wife's side. Still apparently no relationship. But of course there are genetic connections there. Any suggestions? 4. Finally, there is someone in my family who has a son, but doesn't know the who the father is. Legacy won't seem to let me add son to this person without first adding a husband. But she doesn't have a husband. How do I get around that? (No moral advice, please ;) Sorry for so many questions in one email, but many thanks in advance for any assistance!
