Hello, Fellow Legacy Users,
It's been several years since I last worked on my genealogy or used Legacy. But, recently, I started working on a new family branch. Right off the bat, I seem to be encountering problems. This thread is for the most pressing issue I have. To create this new branch in Legacy, I downloaded a GEDCOM file from Ancestry and created a new family tree for it. When I backed up and closed the file, I got an Error 527.. I went to the Legacy website and followed their directions on how to eliminate the error. Nothing seemed to help so I decided to deal with it on another day. When I went back to work on the tree, the first thing I noticed was that my Legacy shortcut icon was missing from the desktop. I opened Legacy through "Programs". Then I could not find the new family file I had created. I had Legacy search the computer and the file came up on their new list, with the family file being stored on my desktop. I have never had Legacy file a new tree on the desktop. They are always stored in the Legacy folder under "Data". In addition, I noticed that all the supporting files for this new tree were also placed on the desktop (File extensions .kil, h1, .h2, .ged, hdb, .fg, and .tc). I am concerned that Legacy has somehow been corrupted because this is not the only issue I am dealing with in a short period of time. Thankfully, none of my other family tree files seem to be affected. What should I do? Do I uninstall and then reinstall Legacy and hope Legacy picks up the files and puts them in the correct folder? Do I get rid of the new family tree and start another tree from scratch without using a GEDCOM? Do I just delete the new tree and download another GEDCOM? Any other options? I also need to confirm I won't lose any data files (Extension .fdb)when I uninstall Legacy. FYI, I recently installed a new anti-malware program on my computer (Malwarebytes). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. By the way, this grandma is not a techie person so explanations in simple terms would be appreciated. Maya Zaret
