Eureka! You are all so smart... \VBG/ I did try the GEDCOM re-install and then the original version re-install under a different name, but the one that did the trick was to do a system restore to a few days ago.
The only major system change during that time was that I had tried to install ACDSee to work with some images and for some reason I could not get it fully installed. I think that one time before I might have tried to install an earlier version of that same program and it might have left a cookie on my system a couple of years ago which would then violate the 30 day free useage rule. So I got discouraged and un-installed it. Now I do not know if it had anything at all to do with that program but it was the only system change recently. What I think MIGHT have happened was that yesterday's connection to the internet here was a nightmare. I was trying several times to download GRAMPS, a LINUX genealogy program at the recommendation of Dick Eastman's most recent newsletter. The download would start OK then slow down to a crawl, actually almost stopping. So I tried many times to download it over and over. While doing this my whole system seemed to get very sluggish and websites that I use all the time would not even open, could not flip between pages or programs, etc. I did shut down and reboot about a half dozen times and I think one of these times LEGACY was no doubt running and might have gotten corrupted at that time. The best thing is that all of your very good common sense help ideas solved the problem. I will post a notice here in a few days after I have used everything for a while. Thank you all VERY MUCH again. Dick Hillenbrand Incidentally, if you are interested in New York State genealogical research, please check out my website at www.ny-genes.com .
