One just has to wonder how these things happen in this day and age of free and virtually free backup options.
Do you have any Legacy BACKUPS? I mean the zip file that's created when you click the BACKUP button. If so, install Legacy on your new computer. Then click the RESTORE option in Legacy and browse to your most recently dated zip file (on a flash-drive or wherever you've got it by now.) Follow your nose through the rest of it. There's another dealie-do with the USR files but I'll save that for now. I'm wondering what you mean by your 'download folder'. Without knowing that I'm not sure what else is on your mind. Was EVERYTHING on one computer? Did you lose EVERYTHING? If not, what DO you have to work with Legacy-wise? ----- JL Beeken JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://jlog.jgen.ws/ On 3/24/2013 8:27 PM, elizabeth wrote: > Hi, > > I couldn't find an answer I could understand in the archives so I am > hoping someone can help me here. > > My computer crashed and I need to move legacy to my new computer.
