so now i am on my new laptop with Windows 8, I downloaded Legacy and put the family tree on this computer also. There is only the sample file in data. I put in my thumb drive and I got an alert that there is issues with the thumb drive, it is scanning it now. What a bummer this is for me. But still on my other computer when I open llegacy my family file should just open up, like it did last night, This is very frustrating.
