Sheila, Legacy v5 and v6 is very stable on a newer computer that has all the Windows updates done. If you're trying to run Legacy on a Win 98, Win 98SE or Win ME computer, you quite likely will have problems with v6, but we haven't had a lot of reported problems with v5 on those older systems. We have users who are still using Legacy v3! We have a lot of good information about using Legacy in the Help file and on our website at http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Tips.asp. We also have some new video training CDs, which you can view at http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Videos.asp but those are based on v6, so you might see features showing that aren't available in v4. Thanks for using Legacy. Sherry Customer Support Millennia Corporation Support@LegacyFamilyTree.com http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com We are changing the world of genealogy!

I have had the Deluxe version of 4 & still not sure why I went with any of the higher versions. For some reason the higher I went, the more unstable the versions became. Thought at first it was my computer but ended up trying it on various computers that I have with different amounts of RAM. I kept having to reinstall with one headache after another. I love the Legacy program but honestly don't need all the multi-media bells & whistles. I want only a stable program in which I can enter my information as safely as possible. I've just decided to enter detail text in the Notes section & source that as well so I don't have to be concerned about the source text dissapearing. I love Legacy & am content with v. 4 so all worked out just fine for my needs. I'm sure there are numerous genealogy purists who feel I've done things right however sadly, I'm not horridly computer savvy when it comes to the improvements in the higher versions. Thus, I'm back to enjoying Legacy & have finished making all the entries that kept getting lost. I've learned a lot from the experience & came out quite content. Many thanks for the sugestion & will keep it on file. Sheila

Hi Sherry & thanks! I have a 2 year old computer with Windows XP. I keep all Windows updated to date & just upgraded the RAM to over 1GHz. I shan't blame the program as somehow I just didn't understand the higher versions, I guess. v. 5 wasn't a totally bad one for me but v. 6 just never could seem to get going right. Again, it likely was me not doing the program correctly. Anyway, I appreciate the links & will be checking them out. Many thanks for all your help & its nice to know that I'm not the only one using an older version.
