Paulette, Legacy v5 will run just fine under Windows XP, but not Windows Vista. You need to install Legacy on the netbook. You can't just copy the folder over from one computer to another and you can't run Legacy from a flash drive.
The final builds of versions of Legacy prior to v7 can be downloaded from http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/helpDownloadVersion6.asp. Passwords are on that site. You will have to have the same version of Legacy on both computers as the files aren't compatible otherwise. For Error 380, go to our website and click on the Help Center menu and select Technical Support where you'll find a solution under "Solutions by Error Number". Thanks for using Legacy.

I am still using on my desktop Legacy5 version 5.0.0.61 and have never updated because never able to do so with success. Since I was happy with the way the old version was working, I had given up several years ago on updates. After the purchase of my netbook I tried again to update the version of Legacy 5 on my desktop with the intention of downloading the full version of Legacy 5 on my netbook and have two matching versions. Again I have been unable to do after several trials. (run-time 380). Maybe something wrong with my system and I really do not want to reinstall Windows XP. My senior brain can handle only so much. I reinstalled Legacy 5 from the disk and restore from a previous back-up (During the tentative update Legacy had modified my family file). I would be happy to continue working with my version of Legacy 5 and hopefully can do so but would like to confirm that I am not heading for disaster. I copied the folder Legacy from my desktop to flash drive and from the flash drive clicked on Legacy5 set up. Legacy downloaded some files, installed itself on the C: drive and again tried to transform my data files which I did not want because I wouldn't be able to restore on my desktop. Legacy requested permission to transform the files, but "no" was not an option. I uninstalled Legacy from the Netbook since I could not open the family file unless I transform it. I do not have Legacy on my netbook, but I am able to open Legacy from the flash drive which hold the copy of the Legacy folder on my desktop. However, I have noticed on the netbook C/ drive a folder Legacy with the 3 sub-folders Back-up, Data and Search. I supposed that the files were created when I tried to install Legacy on my netbook (the search folder contains Ancestry files.) I am concerned that the three folders created with a different version of Legacy that the one on my desktop might create problems. I am also afraid of removing them and not being able to open Legacy from my flash drive! I have created a folder Legacydata under "Mydocuments" were I save the back-ups and have been able to restore. Could you advise me?
