I'm just off to bed now (it's 1:30am here) but I wonder whether you have now found your 'main file'? My PC is off now so I can offer you little more about your error 3800 than before. If you look under the Legacy Home tab you will see on the bottom right on-line technical help, or something like that, click it and select 'solutions by number' and you will find 3800.
However, someone from Legacy would be better able than myself to comment on the message. If the index is messed up then an uninstall - reinstall may be the only option. Hopefully, Sherry or Brian will jump in - please :-) Ron Ferguson http://www.fergys.co.uk/ GOONS #5307 "MJ SA" <michs...@gmail.com> wrote: >I have Windows 7 and I can see what is on the thumb drive.
