No. The chw file is related to the Help file. I don't know why Legacy Charting would be trying to open that file.
When you open Legacy Charting using the icon on the desktop, you should see a window that says "Welcome to Legacy Charting" and has two panels - one to Create a New Chart and one to Open a Saved Chart. Are you getting that window? If not, I'm going to have you uninstall Legacy Charting from the Control Panel and then reinstall with the download from our website www.LegacyFamilyTree.com > Download > Download Legacy Charting. When you reinstall, make sure you have all other programs shut down, including Legacy and your security software. incerely, Sherry Technical Support Legacy Family Tree On Wed, Oct 6, 2010 at 6:14 PM, Jeff Sylvan <jeff...@gmail.com> wrote: > Sherry > Yes, I did install in the default c:\Legacy folder.
