Thank you for the info Jim. I use Ccleaner on my system and clean it up often - also run a thorough scan and defrag. I also use Spybot and Adaware to make sure I have a clean computer. The registry I leave alone now. I used to clean it up, but then once I got a corrupted registry and thought the cleaning up may have caused it. I had to start over and completely reinstall my operating system, so I'm reluctant to tamper with the registry now. As for Start-up programs I've made sure they're kept to the minimum. I've even used msconfig to disable some of the unnecessary ones. The point is my operating system was reinstalled about two months ago and I carry out regular computer maintenance, so Legacy 6.0 should run on it. Also my computer is far from old. It was an XP, but before I uplifted it from the shop I had them put in W98 as it suited me better. The DLL Hell sounds an interesting. I'd like to hear more about that if anyone can help. Thanks again for your interest. Regards Patricia
Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] First problems with Legacy 6.0 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.
