And yes, I'm 100% positive I followed your instructions exactly. I am awaiting Ron's instructions offlist re: registry edit (I'm a brave woman). FYI, here is what I've done, more or less in sequence, since discovering yesterday that Legacy consistently hangs when trying to print or preview reports. I rebooted after each step. Ran Check/Repair Reset Options Customize to default Deleted .usr files related to reports Opened/converted an old fdb file (created pre-version 7) to make sure it wasn't a problem with my main file Tried to uninstall (couldn't) Rebooted with Last Known Good Config Ran system restore to pre-7.0.0.90 download Ran system restore to pre-7.0.0.89 download Reset report settings to default Ran complete McAfee scan on all files/folders Tried to uninstall again (this time I got the "could not open install.log" error message, retrieved the last install.log file from Mozy, ran uninstall again; it appeared to work but didn't - all it did was delete the install.log file). Deleted all .usr files, not just those related to reports. Reinstalled Legacy "over the top." Followed your instructions to the letter. Bottom line: I cannot uninstall Legacy, and I cannot print or preview any report, including the Family File Info Report. (I am able to print/preview from Excel, Word, pdf files, webpages, etc. without problem). For what it may be worth, my Event Log shows multiple Legacy Application Hangs Category (101) Event 1002. Other ideas short of editing the registry or formatting my hard drive and starting from scratch? (Running XP Home with SP3 on a 3 year old HP Laptop).
