Syble, If it is that old I guess that it has a floppy disc, in whch case you should be able to do a RAM test yourself without having to change your BIOS. If you download microsoft's diagnostic tester from: http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp and copy it to a floppy, all you need to do is inesrt the floppy and reboot, the tester will run on start up.
BTW it says that it is essential to read the instructions, and it is as otherwise it could run forever!

It is slower than it was and I have been concerned that it might be going down, I did buy a laptop, but I'm not comfortable with it, so use it sparingly. I may need to talk to a computer repair person about it. Thanks for the comments.

More worrying, though, is the erratic behaviour you are seeing with it shutting down, and the problems you had with the merge. Things like this can have many causes, other than human error, which can include problems with your PC. In particular, I am left wondering if your RAM is on the blink - how old is it? Provided that V6 is installed in a different directory to V7 and all associated files for each are similarly kept apart then they should not interfer with each other - eg I have one version on Drive C and another on Drive E which run without problems. At this stage nobody knows when the next update will be available.

I've been having a few weird things happening. A couple of months ago, I had Legacy to shut down by itself, would give me an error message, and a second later would shut down. Well, it's done that two times in the last day or so, it's was so quick and caught me off guard, I didn't get the error message, both times I was adding a source, and as best I remember that's what I was before. I've added many sources from that time until now and it has worked fine. I haven't deleted V6 yet, I don't use it, but I do have some files I haven't imported into V7. Would there be a chance this is causing a problem. I don't remember having any problems with V5 or V6, but V7 is a different story. I have the build version 7.0.0.55, any ideas when they are going to have another update. I combined two family files recently and it was almost as if it just scattered them throughout the Legacy family file. Certainly people were added 5-6 times and I had some distant relatives that actually went in as my children, it was a mess, numerous ones were added twice, I finally just deleted it.

I have created Pedigree web pages using your formatting set up and it worked OK. So, the problem is not with the Web Page Creation function per se. Try deleting the WebPage.usr file in C:\Legacy (if you are using the defaults), but a word of caution all you settings will be lost so I suggest that you make a note of them, then you can put them back! Before putting them back you might like to try creating the pages using the defaults and if that doesn't work the problem lies elsewhere. Please come back and let us know how you got on - if it doesn't work we can have another think.

There were 1297 individuals, so there should be several different Surnames. Does anyone have a suggestion?
