If the database was on CD the file properties are probably read only.
Right click on the file, select properties and remove the tag from read only (not sure about the terms because I use the Dutch version of windows xp).
If the file is still on CD than you have to move the file to Hard Disk, Legacy cannot open databases from CD.

When I right click on the shortcut on my desktop. as you suggest, it shows
in Type of File "Legacy Genealogy Software". On the line that says>
(open with), it has the same words.
My problem began with I tried to "Click and Drag" my files to a CD as a
backup.
The error message reads:"Error Opening database." The message inside the
box reads. "Unrecognized database format. C\Documents and Settings\Wilbur
Cleveland\local settings application data\Microsoft CD burning\Cleveland
Family .fdb.
Any suggestions?
