Mike this was the solution. I assumed the "part" was a dysfunctional file There was no indication that the download was in progress. I had not waited long enough for the update to complete. There was no indication that the download was in progress.

Re: [LegacyUG] Still using 7,5 for some files

The .part extension will be changed to .exe when the entire file has been downloaded.  If the download fails, then the .part extension will still be on the filename.  It means that the download is partial.  Delete it and try to get the full download.  A partial download will not work.  By the wa

Thanks Wendy. I had tried several times. This time I closed everything down but I still got the message /The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. Legacy along with all files except Firefox is closed / /I am sorry but this is very frustrating/ Ann

Re: [LegacyUG] Still using 7,5 for some files

Hi Anne, I'm not an expert on these things, but it sounds to me like your download got interrupted somehow and didn't finish. I've downloaded a copy from that page just now and it completed properly. If I were you, I would give it another try. Hope this helps. :-) Wendy Anne Hollingshead said

Re: [LegacyUG] Still using 7,5 for some files

Hi Marie, On the download page on the Legacy web site there is a "Frequently Asked Questions" section on the right of the page near the top. There, you will find a link for earlier versions of Legacy. That takes you to http://legacyfamilytree.com/helpDownloadVersion7.asp where - despite the URL's

Re: [LegacyUG] Still using 7,5 for some files

I am not sure which page the install version takes you to but if you need 7.5 there is access to earlier versions. To download earlier versions of Legacy follow the link to earlier versions on the right side of the download update page. http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/DownloadUpdate.asp Brian Cus

Michele, I'm still using 7.5 haven't converted anything to 8 yet. When I open 7.5 I'm told that Legacy 7.5 did not load properly and to fix the problem I should go to the web site. I'm also given the option to install the new version or continue. If I click yes the only thing that comes up on

Re: [LegacyUG] Still using 7,5 for some files

Have you updated 7.5 since you've used those files? I think the message is wanting to update the 7.5 version to the later format in 7.5 rather than trying to convert to Legacy 8. You can't do that from within Legacy 7.5 If in doubt, make a copy of one of them and then open it again in 7.5, this t
