Janet, Your question is very vague and I wonder if you could be more specific. Windows and Vista operate quite differently and store data in different places. When you installed Legacy7 from the Web on your Vista machine, did you follow the instructions for Legacy? You say: "I did a backup on my desktop with XP and Legacy 6 with all of my family files on a DVD" Presumably you mean that on your PC, which is XP, you copied your Legacy 6, but do you mean the Legacy Folder as a whole or just the Data Folder? Again when you say you copied your files onto your Laptop what files do you mean - the whole Legcy folder, or just those in the Data folder - and where did you copy them to, and how did you do it?
