HI Anne, Can you remember what sort of clean up operation you were doing when Legacy wasn't responding? Not responding is different to freezing. Sometimes if you leave a "non-responding" program for awhile, it finishes doing whatever it was doing in the background and starts responding again. I've noticed this in Legacy and in other programs as well. It's as if the program is sending the wrong message to the computer. Rather than saying "I'm busy but still working hard"
It sounds as if it was the interruption of the clean up process that caused the problem but it's difficult to follow up without knowing what you were doing.
