Re: [LegacyUG] USB "thumb drives"
I have Legacy running installed to and running from a flash drive. In order to do this, one must first install MojoPac to the thumbdrive. (www.mojopac.com) Legacy on a Mojopac enabled thumb drive will run from any WinXP SP2 computer, with the following exception - There is a limitation. In order for Legacy to run in this manner requires that one be logged on to the host computer through an account with administrative rights. Without going into a discussion of administrative rights, suffice to say that chances are that the default logon on the PC of friends and relatives will have administrative rights enabled. And chances are that you probably will NOT be able to logon with administrative rights to PCs in libraries, genealogical societies and so forth.

I am aware that one version (I think it is XP Pro) has a repair option which is not available on other versions and certainly not on OEM versions. For all I know there may be variations from country to country as well. On the Version I have I do not have the option to repair nor the option keep the directory system intact.

Re: [LegacyUG] install Legacy program and files to jump drive
Instructions are at http://www.mojopac.com/portal/content/how/use.jsp , but since they are rather brief, I will amplify - With the thumb drive with MojoPac plugged in, you should be capable of toggling back and forth between MojoPac mode and HostPC mode. While in HostPC mode, copy the Legacy Full Setup program (which, presumably, you have previously downloaded) to the thumbdrive. Toggle to MojoPac mode. Find and run the Legacy Full Setup program in MojoPac mode, which will install all the Legacy components needed to run in MojoPac mode. (Paul Abell's problem is that he tried to install from his PC, not from within MojoPac mode.) At this point, you start entering data to create a Legacy data file, or you get an existing data file from your PC. To bring over an existing data file, toggle to HostPC mode, find your Legacy folder, and copy the Data folder (under Legacy) to the Data folder on your thumb drive under the Legacy folder. You may want to copy some .usr files also. Toggle back to MojoPac mode. Start Legacy and you should be in business. Enter your customer number to upgrade to Deluxe, just as you did on your HostPC. I have probably forgotten something - if so, let me know. Don't forget that the data file you create or update running Legacy on your thumb drive exists only on your thumb drive. You have to copy it over to your PC if you want the data there. Finally, for the record, I am running Legacy Deluxe v6.0.0.118 on a thumb drive.

Re: [LegacyUG] Run Legacy on a Flash Drive
Portable Apps requires that the application (Legacy for instance) be modified to run in the Portable Apps environment. The modification instructions are on their website. Since it requires modification, there are Legacy licensing issues to consider, as well as the technical knowledge required. The same is true of Ceedo and U3, which are other portable application environments. MojoPac requires no modification of the application. By the way, I have Legacy Standard v. 6.0.0.118 running in MojoPac "as we speak". I will try out Legacy Deluxe tomorrow. Incidentally, MojoPac takes about 69 mb of your thumbdrive space. Add Legacy and you are up to 159 mb before adding any of your data files. Also, I notice that some flash drives seem faster than others. My SanDisk Cruzer seems faster than my Lexar Traveler and my PNY Attache.

[LegacyUG] Run Legacy on a Flash Drive
Legacy WILL run from a flash drive. I have basic Legacy installed on a flash drive and it runs just fine. You install MojoPac (www.mojopac.com) on your flash drive, then install (not copy) Legacy to your flash drive. All files required to run Legacy are installed on the flash drive. And no traces are left on the host computer. The only limitation (to be fixed in the next release) is that the person logged on to the host computer (the one into which you plug the flash drive) must have administrative rights. This is normally the case with your PC and your friends & relatives PCs. However, administrative rights normally will not be available to you on PCs at your library or genealogical societies and the like.

What information does he want, what is his relationship with you, and what is the money supposed to be for? Not, you need to tell me, but these things make a difference. It would make a difference to me what "personal" information he wants. Family health history that is critcally important to him, that you don't happen to want to share, or your living peoples' exact dates and places of birth? Also, how closely is he related to you? Is he your first cousin, who has known you since you were kids, or is he a distant cousin? How closely related is he to the elderly person who gave you the information you don't want to share? Does he have another way to get the information, and is the information of critical importance to him; say, information about genetic illness in the family? In the former case, I 'd say if you don't want to answer the question you're the one with something wrong with you, but you always have the right to say no, and the most important thing is not to outright lie to him, ie, no, noone in our family has ever had an illness they've had. I've had more respect for relatives who said that to me than the ones who lied. If you really think the person who told you personal information that is crititcal information that should be shared didn't want it shared, you can always try the approach I am using at the moment in such a situation. I am trying the this person won't live forever approach.In the meantime, I told my brother in law that I ahve information he does need to have if something should happen to both me and his mother (the source of ... the identity of her parents... talk about pulling out hair!)I really think that if your source is 90 years old and in frail health, your information will be yours to do with as you choose within a few years. ;) In the latter case, I say no once, occasionally twice, if it is someone who I know who it is; and if they press, I ignore them. I have had people who thought they just should have that info for their database. It is an actual theory of how to gather data on a family group, that personal identifying information should be collected and published on living people. Oh well, too bad.It is not wise nor safe to give out identifying information on living people, particularly address and exact dates of birth and marriage. You can't make him stop contacting you, but you can ignore him, and the odds are, if you don't respond to him, he'll eventually give up. I've never had anyone be QUITE this persistent, and everyone I have ignored dropped it after one more try. As for the money, what is it for?Is it a bribe?A payment for something you did for him? You can certain turn it down if you aren't comfortable taking it. Did he send a large amount of cash, in which case he is definitely nuts, or a check? If a check, tear it up and forget about it. If cash or money order, send it back adn tell him any further mail you get from him will go in the trash unopened, no matter what it contains. I've taken that approach with both people, and companies I'd ended relations with. I'm not saying this is the case, but if you should get a really funny feeling about him or if his behavior worries you, write him a letter (or e-mail) telling him to never contact you again or you will file appropriate criminal complaints, send it certified and get a receipt of mailing it as well, and of course keep a copy.If he keeps it up, repeatedly phones or e-mails you, visits you after you told him to leave you alone, or threatens you, you can file various charges.I mean that if he is genuinely scaring you, not just because you don't like what he is asking for. You are limited in your ability to tell him not to bother someone ELSE, but your ability to intervene grows if the other person is frail or disabled, or confined to a nursing home.

Re: [LegacyUG] Screen Shots
The last couple of suggestions make it sound like you need Excel or WordPerfect. Not so. If you have a Windows PC, you should have a program called WordPad. (For those not familiar with it, WordPad is a simple word processor that is/was included with almost all versions of Microsoft Windows from Windows 95 upwards. It is more advanced than Notepad, but nowhere near as advanced as Microsoft Word. It originated in Windows 3.1 as Write.) After pressing "Prnt Screen", open a new document in WordPad, and: - Using the menus, select Edit, then Paste or - Click on the Paste icon or - Right mouse click and select Paste. Possibly you will have to resize the image after it is pasted into WordPad in order to prevent the right edge from being cut off.

[LegacyUG] Run Legacy from USB Device
It can be done! I am running the latest version of Legacy Family Tree from a 4G USB microdrive. I can plug it into any PC running WinXP SP2 and run Legacy. (Well, anyway, I have tried 3 PCs.) Works great. The secret is MojoPac at http://www.mojopac.com (30 day free trial) MojoPac creates an environment that gives the appearance of being a virtual operating system on the USB device. As a result, for instance, to preview or print reports from Legacy, you have to install a printer driver within MojoPac. You cannot access your hard drive while in MojoPac - your USB device becomes your C: drive. But if you need a file from your hard drive, you click a button in MojoPac and you are back to your normal interface. Copy the desired file to your USB device, click the MojoPac toggle button and you can access the file from MojoPac or from any application running in MojoPac. The MojoPac installation, Legacy and my family files take up about 145mb so conceivably you could run Legacy from a memory key (thumb drive, or whatever you want to call it) as small as 256mb Internet Explorer runs fine within MojoPac and Legacy within MojoPac seems to connect to the internet fine if an internet connection is available on the host computer. Check it out. Hope it works for you, but your mileage may vary. It is possible that this evaluation is worth exactly what you paid for it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Reminder About Etiquette
Security problems with HTML - Outlook Express uses Microsoft Internet Explorer to display HTML messages in Outlook Express. Consequently, when one is viewing an HTML message, one is exposed to all the security issues present in IE. Some ne'er-do-well can exploit this to his/her advantage. Furthermore, ne'er-do-wells can place an invisible tracking bug in an HTML message. Without going into the mechanics, the tracking bug lets the sender know that the message was opened, thereby confirming that the email address to which the message was sent is in fact a valid email address with someone reading messages. Therefore, that email address is valuable to spammers and will be sold. Outlook Express 6 (and OE5?) permit the user to require all messages to display in plain text, even if they were sent as HTML. Earlier versions of Outlook Express did not have that option, so email recipients had no control as to whether they were at risk. Other people's comments on other problems have already been discussed and are in the archives.
