Mojopac has already been mentioned in this thread. But as I understand it, you need to have administrator rights to the XP PC you're plugging the thumb drive into which to me is a significant barrier.
I would be interested in a mechanism that would allow me to run Legacy on a library PC while doing reseach. It's unlikely such PC's would provide administrator rights. I would also be interested if it allowed me to run Legacy on my corporate laptop while I'm travelling. But, I don't have administrator rights to that either. I could use Mojopac on my personal laptop but, it's much simpler to have Legacy installed on the laptop and use the thumb drive to hold the data or to transfer the data between my desktop and laptop.

It becomes its own C: drive in a way. You can then run Legacy and all your data on any machine, just as you wanted. I'm sure someone on the List will know which program I am talking about. -- Rodney HALL Heywood, Lancashire Suaviter sed fortiter Agreeably but powerfully ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://rmhh.co.uk/ http://rmhh.org.uk/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Janis Gilmore Sent: 05 April 2007 01:07 To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] USB "thumb drives" Really? My understanding was that the new generation of Flash drives or usb drives or thumb drives (or whatever you choose to call them) can actually install the program,. which makes it so nice to take along with you - you could use it on any library computer, or plug it in to a cousin's computer to show them something. Have I totally misunderstood something? I use a thumb drive (lots of capacity) all the time just for transporting, and backing up. I really thought the new ones would let you install a full program, which would make it operational on any computer. Janis Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?
