Hi Les I cannot thank you enough for your wonderful email, and the time it must have taken. You went into depth and I understand things much better now. I was too experiencing problems with ver 5 and this is replicated in ver 6 I find it strange that I can view pictures in page I create to Html or Pdf but not when I ask to Preview/screen print.
I cannot find out how to extract the Resource Meter, as it is in a cab file. I am trying to find out which one it would be in. I did what you said, but when I got to the have disk part, it just sits there, as I believe I need to instruct where about the file. As it is compressed I need to extract the cab file first I believe. Still working on that one. I too believe that there is a memory leak of some sort, as the reading I have don on the internet which presents this problem, indicates such. I shall persevere with this. I have tried all that has been asked and also exported my records and imported them back in again. This has helped a little. Though I do still have errors. Thanks once again truly wonderful.

This is a fixed amount of memory that is not affected my the amount of RAM your computer has. It can not be changed. The information stored there is dynamic in nature so when an application (or part of an application) closes down, memory used by that application should be released. If it isn't, eventually you run out of "system resources". My experience has been that version 6 apparently has problems with releasing used resources when moving from one part of the application to another. This even happens when using the same features I used in version 5. So it doesn't seem to be associated with the new features of version 6. Since I run a dual boot system (meaning I also have XP on the same computer) if I need to, I just reboot into XP to finish my task at hand. (For those of you who are interested, I access the same data file from W98 and XP). Gwen, what I suggest is that you do is what I have done. Microsoft has provided a handy resource monitoring application called the "Resource Meter". When running, it resides in the system tray down by the clock. You should be able to find "Resource Meter" by going to Start - Programs - Accessories - System Tools. If it isn't there, you can create a shortcut on your desktop by right clicking on the file name and selecting "send to" and then "desktop (short cut)". The file name is RSRCMTR.EXE and is located in the C:\Windows folder. I have the application start up when booting my computer because I put the shortcut in the "Startup" folder. When "Resource Meter" is running, you will get a warning message when the resources get low. You might be able shut down other applications that are running at the time to free up resource memory that Legacy Family Tree needs. Or, exit Family Tree and reboot your computer to create the most free resource memory. For further reading, see: http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=17200581 I believe there must me a memory leak that needs to be fixed by the programmers. Using the same features in version 6 that were used in version 5 and running into memory resource problems would seem to indicate that something changed with how memory resources are now being used in version 6. I don't believe you should have to upgrade to XP to solve this problem. I also believe that there are a lot of Legacy uses that wouldn't have a clue as to how to upgrade to XP especially if they are senior citizens like me. I don't think Legacy wants to force these people to upgrade to XP. It could be a costly mistake if they ended up loosing some of their files from other applications in the process. I hope this helps you Gwen (and maybe others running W98) to at least monitor the memory usage and to determine the applications that may be using a lot of resource memory. I would be suspicious of any of the Norton applications that may be running.
