Hi, Bob. The Microsoft page: Program Compatibility Assistant: frequently asked questions explains that this error is displayed when detecting compatibility issues in older programs. I had tried the "Reinstall" option in the hope that windows would identify the incompatibility and launch Legacy accordingly.
Later, I ran the Troubleshooter in 'Control Panel->Troubleshooting->Programs' for Program Compatibility which is used to "Make older programs run in this version of Windows." Under "Advanced" I unchecked the option to "Apply repairs automatically" so that I could perhaps see what "repairs" were being made. When testing "Legacy 8," the troubleshooter still reports that it is incompatible with Windows 7. Further stepping through the troubleshooter suggests that I run the program in Windows XP service pack 2 compatibility mode. I'm only seeing this after applying the latest update. It has been a little discouraging. :( -Stan ------ Original Message ------ From: "Robert57P_gmail" <robert...@gmail.com> To: legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com Sent: 6/1/2014 3:42:26 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Errors with Update to 8.0.0.427 >I get this occasionally with misc program installs.
