I don't think it is my PC
I have a pentium 4 with 1gig memory xp pro
I ran ccleaner and regvac then did a fresh boot and only started Legacy 7.
I don't have much running in memory: firewall, virus scanner and allchars
The initial relationship calculator screen came up within a minute. I
have changed the settings to 3 blood and no non-blood
I selected a new person on the left to calculate to the same person who
displayed on the right.
11 minutes later the three relationships displayed
I have 98829 individuals in my database
I found where changing the calculation defaults are located and agree
that setting/resetting the defaults for the relationship calculator
would be better placed in the calculator window.
I did not time the setting relationships, but as Art wrote, it is a time
consuming event, but it was in version 6 also.

FYI
Mine too comes up with the "preferred" person set on the left and the
highlighted person on the right. I hadn't even realized this. I
consider it a plus, since I probably will want one of those two in my
calculation whenever I open it. No difference to me if it is blank or
has a name that I'm gonna change to someone else, but at least one of
the two will probably already be set to who I want.
Mine comes up almost instantaneously, and calculates pretty fast (just
a few seconds, takes a few seconds longer if I change from the
defaults). But then I don't have very many people in my database yet
(only about 1500 - wow, didn't even realize it was even that many!)
To change the default, you need to use: Tools / Set Relationships If
you change the numbers on this screen, the defaults on the
relationship calculator change also. Not real intuitive (I'd like to
see it included on one of the OPTIONS tabs, or have a button on the
Relationship Calculator that said something to the effect of "Make
these limits the new default").
The only thing I have running at the time is:
Legacy
Outlook
A TV emulator
A web browser (IE)
some utilities in my system tray
I'm using a 3 GHz Pentium D processor with 2 gigs of memory, with
Windows XP Pro.
Maybe this could be a good justification to upgrade your system??? ha
ha ha Actually, I'd look elsewhere before I thought about replacing
the entire system. Things like: what else is running, is it better if
I do it after a fresh boot, can I just add more memory, is my
harddrive almost full (and thus the "swap file" is having to dig for a
place to reside), etc. I wouldn't think this would be impacted by a
disk defrag since it seems to be 100% in memory. Might want to do a
full anti-virus and spyware scan - maybe you've got something that is
hogging resources??

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] V7 Relationship Calculator
Just some additional information on the relationship calculator. It
takes about 2-3 minutes to open the relationship calculator. It does
not work as described in the help file. The help file leads one to
believe that the calculator opens with a blank field in the right
hand position. This is not correct. The left person is the
starting/root person in the database and the right window contains
the highlighted person in the family view. When i installed the
deluxe version it asked about the number of blood and non-blood
relationships that I wished to display. I selected 5 for blood and 2
for non-blood. As far as I can tell, there is no way to change this.
I have changed it on the screen, but when I reopen the calculator,
the original number remains. Having a way to change this would be nice.
In my database, if I select swap it took 14 minutes to display the
relationship with the same two people only changing right and left
positions. The relationships remained the same
Perhaps I have missed something, but why do I have to display the
relationship calculator for the starting person and not two
individuals of my choosing as was the case with all previous versions
of the relationship calculator. I use the family view where the
closest relationship already displays for the starting person, I
generally want the calculator for two different people. Having to
wait close to 15 minutes or more to see the relationship or not is an
absurd amount of time.
On a positive note, I am delighted that half relationships are not
working. I have a number of half great aunts/uncles who married
distant cousins where their offspring are now finally displaying
based on the half relationship instead of the far more distant whole
relationship. Thank you!

Hi Mike,
No work around. I've been reporting this for months and Dave had
hoped to fix it before release but it obviously didn't get done.
Some will report as halfs and some of the halfs report as steps and
as you say, others lose the half altogether and report as full.

Has anyone tried the relationship calculator in V7 and checked
there half
cousins, aunts, uncles etc afterwards. All of my half relations are
now
missing the leading half. Example would be Half 1st cousin twice

only says 1st cousin twice removed. I reported this to support on
Wednesday
but have not received a response (I'm sure that they are very busy
now). If
anyone has experienced this, have you found a workaround?
Thanks,
Mike
