[LegacyUG] Repeated Problem with Legacy on Vista
I use Vista and have Legacy Build 7.0.0.109 Which was working correctly before, but now each time I open Legacy the 'Select Report Fonts' window opens, then an error message Legacy can't find any printer defined for use with Windows. You will not be able to print any reports until you define a printer. Despite repeated uninstall/reinstall while my Norton Internet Security is disabled (advice from Legacy) the problem is still not fixed. I have removed any unusual programs, and nothing has been added since Legacy last worked correctly. I have switched printers using the Control Panel. On the Legacy Users archives, only one other similar problem, but this appears to have fixed itself. The message implies I need to define a printer for use with Windows. Can someone explain how to do this?

Re: [LegacyUG] Repeated Problem with Legacy on Vista
Dave, Have you tried updating and/or reinstalling the printer driver for your default printer? I think Legacy should detect whatever you have as the defalt printer. :) Margaret On 30/12/2009, Dave Christmas dgx...@gmail.com wrote: I use Vista and have Legacy Build 7.0.0.109 Which was working correctly before, but now each time I open Legacy the 'Select Report Fonts' window opens, then an error message Legacy can't find any printer defined for use with Windows.

RE: [LegacyUG] multiple errors
Brian, I barely understand what you are talking about when you say virtualization... but my ears perked up when you mentioned UAC. I just turned off UAC in Vista x64 2 days ago. I was tired of the constant pop-up windows asking me if I really wanted to do this... for EVERYTHING! So far no errors in Legacy 7. When should I expect errors to occur?

Re: [LegacyUG] Copying people
The split screen is a very neat feature. I wonder if one might use it in a manner other than with 2 screens of Legacy? For example, if I am copying information from a site of Family Search 1800 census - can I get the census screen up as one-half of the screen? When I try to close one-half of the split screen, it just reverts to full screen again. I know I can reduce the size of the legacy screen and also the Family Search screen, but I just wondered if there was a more elegant method of putting the two screens side-by-side? I guess the Family Search would have to have a comparable feature in order to do that.

For this I use Internet Explorer with my Ancestry.com account up and running, then on the same computer I start up Mozilla Firefox and use that for other searches on a separate screen. If you go to your Desktop, right click you get a menu; select Graphics Options/Output To/Extended Desktop and you can decide how to get the two screens to behave. I am fortunate to have an even more elegant way. I have a second laptop that I use purely for Legacy, and so effectively have three screens on my desk at once, a little crowded but really easy to jump between sources and Legacy.

Re: [LegacyUG] Copying people
Jane, I am using Vista, not sure what you have. If you right-click in the bottom taskbar of your screen, one of the options I have is Show Windows Side by Side. I have a 21 monitor and routinely keep my source doc'n on one side and Legacy on the other side. I love it. If you have several windows open it will put them all up - in thirds, fourths, whatever. Another option is Show Windows Stacked which is one above the other. I don't like that one as much.

There is a feature in Windows 7 that makes it even simpler. Just open the two windows you want side by side, say Firefox (Or IE) and Legacy. Then take the top bar of one of the windows and drag it to the left, off the screen. When you release the mouse, the window will pop to fill the left half of the screen. Do the same with the other window dragging it to the right side and viola, split screens with two different programs. If helps if you put your cursor as far left as possible before dragging left and as far right as possible before dragging right. Just makes it happen quicker without having to drag so far. Unfortunately it won't work with overlayed windows within Legacy. For example, if you drag a source window to the left, it will fill half the screen, but you can't drag the underlying family screen to the right. This is a Windows issue, not a Legacy issue. But, there is a work around. If you start with the family window and drag it right, then open, say, the event window and drag it left, you can see both windows at the same time. You can only edit in the event window, however. You can open additional windows from the left window (in our example), say the source window, and keep dragging them left and work on the topmost window while still seeing the family window on the right. You still have to close all the windows individually just as you normally do. (A close and save all would sure be nice...) How do you get back from this split screen view? Click on the Maximize button in the upper right (looks like a square) to make the window full screen, then click on the Restore Down button (same button, but this time it looks like two pieces of paper on top of each other). You are now back to where you started. Sounds a little complicated, but once you've done it a time or two it's pretty easy. -- Jim Walton ...probe the past carefully and report it as it was, not as I wish it were From Evidence Explained by Elizabeth Shown Mills Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy with a Netbook
Provided it's Windows O/S and has enough memory then it should be OK - I do not have a net book to test on.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy with a Netbook
I do have Legacy on my Netbook and it works well - although I keep the main copy on the laptop. I use the netbook for when I can sit with it on my lap at night and fiddle gently - the only thing to remember is to make changes on both if necessary. 2010/1/1 D Davis dickdavis1...@gmail.com I was wondering if any one has tried to run legacy on a net book?
