What driver files - please explain in detail what and where and how. I'm running W98SE with heaps of spare drive memory and 245 RAM. Its not an old computer. I'm wondering if what you did will help me, but I dont know much about drivers and need detailed instructions. Regards Patricia
Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] First problems with Legacy 6.0 I have been watching this memory issue with interest since my computer is very old (it will be 9 later this month, maybe I should have a party for it). When I first installed Legacy 6 it would not run at all - every time I would get a page fault error in a DLL file associated with my obsolete 3dfx Voodoo 3 2000 video card. Today I downloaded and installed a new version of the driver files and have now successfully installed and am running Legacy 6 which is doing an auto merge on the file that Ed Barnard has had the troubles with (see the intellishare thread). I also have Mozilla open with both the browser and the inbox open as I prepare this message. I also have Mailwasher open which I use to check my inbox on my ISP before downloading my messages. I use it to pre-screen for spam and also to decide which of the many messages coming in on this mailing list I will download and keep. So far there are no problems with Legacy, In the last half hour or so it has merged a little over 1000 of the 4012 individuals in the Ed Barnard file. Okay here are the specs: Pentium 150 Mhz (not even the MMX version) RAM 96 Meg (I tried to upgrade to 128 without success even though the motherboard manual says it is possible) Disc Drives C: 2 Gig with Windows and my basic programs installed D: 6 Gig with my data files, some programs and the Windows Swap file (virtual memory) set to 1 Gig min - 1 Gig max. I was told one time that windows works slightly faster if it does not have to resize the swap file as needed and I need every bit of extra speed I can tweak out of this machine. Video Card: 3dfx Voodoo3 2000 PCI (my motherboard predates AGP) with 16 Meg of ram. OS Windows 98 Second Edition Build 4.10.2222 A Patricia, you have never clearly said whether you are using WIN 98 or 98SE. To find out which right click on the My Computer Icon and select properties and on the general tab you should see the version and build info. That is how I found out the version and build number above. I bought the Legacy Deluxe upgrade knowing full well that my computer does not really have the speed or memory required and I know the Legacy system requirements says 128 Meg is needed and that if you have less Legacy will be slow. I will accept that limitation as long a Legacy does not crash any more often than any other program I run. You mentioned that you liked to keep Legacy open along with Word so I just opened a Word Document to add to the mix of software above. Legacy is still happily crunching away on the merge. It has now reached 2090 of 4012 in the time I have been composing this message.
