Patricia,
You might be suffering from "DLL Hell". It is more common in older Windows OSs. I am not an authority on DLL Hell, but in short it is a conflict over which version of a particular dll file is required. Sometimes you may have more than one in different directories and your program sees the wrong one. I don't know the solution. Maybe someone else. Windows OSs get very dirty. Also when reinstalling, be sure to clean your windows\temp directory. Before any install in Windows I run Disk Cleanup and Disk De- fragmenter. They can be found by going to START>>ACCESSORIES>>SYSTEM TOOLS. Also before install update your anti virus software and run it, update your anti-spy ware software and run it. I.e., get your box as clean as possible. Then turn it off for 2 minutes, restart, and install. Other things you can do is clean the registry. There are many programs that can do this safely. My software found over a hundred bad entries. Also check what startup items are turned on. Some of them may cause conflict. JimS Patricia wrote:
I'm not sure, but I think I may have partially solved my problem. When I went into the Virtual Memory to set the minimum, I noticed that it was set to allow Windows to manage the memory. There was a 0 in the minimum amount and another figure in the maximum amount 18698 or something like that. When I changed it to allow me to specify the minimum amount and set it to 2GB, then rebooted the computer it made no difference to Legacy's performance. So I went back into the Virtual Memory and reset it to allow Windows to manage it as before. This time I noticed the minimum was at 0 as before, but there was no maximum. I rebooted my computer again to allow the setting to take effect and then tried Legacy with a Word Document and it managed it. However, when I opened MS Outlook as well, it once again failed to work properly. It's obviously a memory problem, but at least it will work with a document now, so I can get on with what I was doing. I hope this might be of help to the others who are experiencing the same problems. If anyone finds another answer please let me know as I'm still not completely happyy. Regards Patricia
