I've just tried to find my old Reunion disk, but it seems to have disappeared for the moment, perhaps I have it elsewhere. :-) But having said that, I am still running the program on Windows XP, and also, alongside that, Generations. Not sure how my son sorted it out for me, but perhaps it could be along the lines that Steve used. But, I am still using the Sierra version of Generations and I haven't found anything that disappeared.
