Re: [LegacyUG] Resize of Legacy Application

[J.M. "Jay" Ingalls]

Still using Windows 7 pro and Legacy 8. Normally everything works great. 
Have had Legacy "act up" after waking up my computer, etc. Closing 
Legacy and re-starting it usually solves any problems. If not, 
re-starting the computer does. I have made some firmware updates in the 
past on my now old  ASUS Notebook. Have Windows set to update 
automatically. Does it at shutdown and then completes it at the next 
startup. Once in a while that causes the loss of most of my "home" icons 
and shortcuts. Re-start usually fixes that. If not, start with F-8 and 
use the repair option. From my memory, hope this is understandable.

Have you considered the problem might be with programming in the 
computer (driver or firmware)? As I wrote in my initial post, the 
first thing I did was check the drivers of both the graphics card and 
internal graphics section of the computer. I next check the BIOs 
level. After checking that, I only then moved on to the application. 
And that was because the problem had occurred in only a single window 
(main) in Legacy.


The only problem I ever had with 'Windows 10' since the release of 
that OS was traced to the firmware of the HP computer. It took a 
while, but checking HP support online I finally found the problem 
listed (deep into support) stating that 'some' models of the desktop I 
had would not 'wake up' from sleep mode. HP had a fix that 'might' 
correct the problem by flashing the firmware. I still run Windows 8.1 
on that computer (no problems with that OS for which the computer was 
designed).

As a general note, this might not be an issue with Legacy but with 
Windows. I have the same problem with Outlook quite regularly and 
occasionally with other software.

Cathy,

 

Interesting. However, as I wrote:

 

"I never had problems with Legacy 8 for the few months use before upgrading to 
version 9"





Nor have I experienced this resizing problem until the past week. Strange. 
Whatever is the cause, just hope the problem disappears and suddenly as it 
appeared.

Denise and Dave,

whatever the problem is, it's not a Legacy 9 problem as I have a friend still 
using Legacy 8 and this has been driving her nuts for ages and nothing I've 
been able to suggest has helped.

I'm currently using a baby 2 in 1 computer/tablet as my main computer (laptop) 
has a monitor hardware problem. 
I'm getting this difficulty resizing sometimes on this. I've found that it 
resizes better if there is nothing under it but otherwise I'm still looking.

Sherry, thank toos. However, the solution you mention (deleting the

I deleted the file three times yesterday afternoon alone. (I am still 
‘cleaning u p’ after a massive GEDCOM import, currently working with 
the location list.) I’ve check the graphic card drivers of this 
laptop. (Up to date and okay there.) I only have the problem with 
Legacy 9’s main window. The other windows (for example, the 
Individual’s Information window), dialogs, messages, and Help have no 
problems resizing. After deleting the .usr file I can open and size 
the main Legacy 9 window once only. After that first sizing, any 
changes to the window acts like a ‘rubber band’, snapping back the 
window to the first sizing position and not allowing changes.

This problem is really frustrating. I never had problems with Legacy 8 
for the few months use before upgrading to version 9 (the reason I 
migrated to Legacy). Do you know whether this resizing of the main 
Legacy 9 window is a ‘known’ and reported problem?

Hi Dave,

With Legacy closed, go to the Documents\Legacy Family

recreated when you reopen Legacy and that should reset the size and

Try holding the SHIFT key while selecting the X to close the window or
while selecting "Exit" in the program menu.
