The broken media links indicate that a file which is currently linked to
something in your data (person, event, source etc. See Chris Hill's
reply) has been moved or the file name has changed.
Legacy 9 includes a tool to help you find these missing files. It will
search your hard drive(s) looking for all the files with the filenames
currently used. I suggest you use that tool first to fix as many links
as possible.
Go to Tools > Media Relinker
You can use that tool to show a list of all the missing files and where
they are used.
Click on "Relink my media" to have Legacy search for the missing files.
If it finds only one copy of a file it will amend the internal links in
Legacy to point to that file. If it finds multiple copies with the same
name it will present you with a list of the files it found to let you
choose which copy should be used.

To my User Group,
I have had Legacy 9 Deluxe for over a year now and I still do not know
how to attach pictures to my tree. I have asked this user group some
time ago about this matter. My photos are all messed up. I always get
this message ( There are 168 broken media links in the family file. ). I
do not know what this means. I am 75 years young and on the brink of
losing it. Please help me get through this?
