I have Legacy 7, latest build, installed on my laptop, which is running XP with the latest updates, etc. I have a wireless network at home and have no problems opening Legacy. However, when I don't have an internet connection, Legacy just won't open. I get the opening "splash screen" and nothing else, if I'm that lucky. It would crash at that point and be completely useless on research trips, but would suddenly work when I got home. After many hours of trying different settings I figured out to use the setting -- not to connect to the internet (home tab-options-never connect). That seemed to take care of the problem, so I thought. So this weekend I spent a lot of time getting organized and my to-do lists, etc., prepared in Legacy, my husband and I went to a library this past weekend. When I tried to open Legacy, nothing. It had worked just fine earlier in the day before I left. I rebooted the computer, restarted Legacy, nothing. I spent probably 30 minutes or more trying to figure out the problem not to mention the battery use when I finally decided to disable the wireless connection my computer located at the library. That was the only thing I could think of that had changed since the last use. Well, Legacy opened. I doubled checked my settings and Legacy was still set not to connect to the internet. I did get some error messages about missing fonts, printers, etc., but it did open and was able to finally do some research, but was limited without internet connection. I was terrified to reconnect to the internet fearing Legacy would crash. I've had this happen at some hotels, etc, but not others. I just never know if Legacy will open away from home anymore or not. Am I missing some really obvious setting here or what?
