Re: [LegacyUG] Windows Vista 64bits
Hi, Jose I'm running Legacy 7 on a 64 bit Vista system. I have 4 gb ram & a dual core processor. However, i "only" have a little over 11,000 people in my file, so your results may vary! I'm running Vista home premium. Lost my ability to fax, but otherwise I've really had no problems with Vista, other than the usual learning curve.

José, We haven't been getting an reports of problems unique to 64-bit Vista.

Re: [LegacyUG] Windows Vista
Hi Mary, No problems with Vista and Legacy here. Outside of the initial setup and nag screens, it shows it is a solid OS. And as others have answered, the programs that did have a problem running at the beginning, their programmers found a fix and it all works great.

RE: [LegacyUG] Windows Vista
I have Windows Vista Home Premium on a Toshiba laptop. When I got it, it ran slow which I thought was strange for a new PC. I uninstalled most of the junk programs that came with it and cleaned up the registry. That helped improve the speed some. After a couple of days, I got used to Vista and haven't had any problems. The only thing that I really notice is that Vista tends to be a little slow, but that's because it's a huge OS. The only programs I have installed under Vista are AVG Anti-Virus, AVG Anti-Spyware, Legacy 6.0, Legacy 7.0 Beta and Legacy Charting.

Re: [LegacyUG] Windows Vista
I have Vista Home Basic installed on my laptop, and, although I'm fairly happy, iVista will not run the earlier set of Training CDs. The later issue of Training CDs run perfectly. The problem has been discussed with Sherry, and has now been referred to the programming staff. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Perhaps you might try to run, say, "Mastering Events and Chronologies", to see if it will run on your Vista machine? Any friendly and helpful comments may assist a solution.

Re: [LegacyUG] Windows Vista
I wouldn't recommend Vista to my worst enemy -- okay, maybe my *arch* enemy, but no one else. My printer doesn't work like it's supposed to -- after six months I'm still trying to get a handle on that. My son's MP3 player that we got him just a few months before we bought this computer isn't recognised, so we can't put anything on it and it's a paper weight now. Many of the programs I relied on won't run. I had a problem with it crashing every ten or fifteen minutes -- ah, my old friend the BSoD which was conspicuously absent during my XP days -- that tech support couldn't figure out. Come to find out it was an update and after I uninstalled that everything worked fine again -- so now I'm leary of even updating the silly thing. But to keep this on topic -- I have no problems with Legacy under Vista that I didn't have under XP. :-D On Thu, 17 Apr 2008 22:59:38 -0500, Susan Perrett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Ah Cathy - I have had Vista for nearly 12 months and have had NO problems at all with Legacy and/or any other program.

RE: [LegacyUG] Windows Vista
Have read others comments on Windows Vista I thought I'd add my two penneth worth. I have Windows Vista installed on my PC and I reported to the group several weeks ago that Legacy works fine on it, at least during my somewhat limited testing of it. Like many thing's with pc's, the requirements will depend heavily on what your going to be running on your system. I heard mention of games in a previous comment and games are usually the most demanding of all applications, especially with regard to memory & graphics capability. I have 1 Gig of memory and all works just fine, running Office and Legacy together. The Vista install is approx 15Gig which is why they quote the need for 15Gig free space. Hard drive space is so cheap now this really shouldn't be a problem to anyone. I just bought a 320 Gig drive at Christmas for £65 so I could install Vista without disrupting my XP installation. My machine is about two years old, I built it myself a couple of Christmas's ago, but it is a reasonable spec still, i.e. 64bit AMD processor, Powerful grpahics card etc. and it runs Vista very well. Vista runs a pc performance routine and gives your pc a score which will be used in future to check it's suitability for running different software. My system scores very reasonably even after two years. One of the keys changes in Vista is the very nice user interface, with transparency, task bar images etc and to utilise this you do need a good graphics card in your machine. I have had some driver issues with Vista but when I have contacted manufacturers they tell me they have new drivers ready to despatch, but they will not be released until Vista's official release on 30th Jan. One frustration I find in the genealogy world is peoples reluctance to changing pc's and components. I find with them that you have to be prepared to continue your investment in them. Any company would write off an asset like a pc over 3 years and replace it, yet some expect to get Vista running on their old pc bought in the Windows 98 days. That's just not feasible, and personally I don't think Microsoft should be blamed for this. Many of us think nothing of paying year on year for Ancestry subscriptions, you need to also make that regular investment in your equipment.

Thanks Susan, and all others who commented. I have intended to get a new machine for a while and will certainly have Vista on it hence my question.

Ron Ferguson The higher figures come from reality, from experience with Microsoft's recommendations for previous OS versions, and from people who have actually installed, used, and reviewed Vista. Most reviewers claim that 1GB of memory is the absolute minimum for casual use of Vista, but they strongly recommend 2GB for people who will use demanding applications, such as new games and digital media processing. Using the minimum requirements as stated by Microsoft has almost always resulted in a disappointing user experience, even though it does sell more copies of the OS. Recent reviewers have stated that if you don't have a very new and powerful system (less than a year old), you will be much happier staying with XP than upgrading to Vista. And just what could Vista possibly offer to someone who has an older and slower system that they would willingly pay the very high upgrade price? Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

RE: [LegacyUG] Windows Vista
Ron, The rule of thumb with software minimum requirements is to double everything they say for optimum use. Therefore, doubling the 1GB for full use would result in the 2GB quoted. As for the 20GB of free disk space: The more space you can give it the better off you are.

RE: [LegacyUG] windows vista 64 bit
No problems with Legacy. Other problems, though. Contact me off list if you run into problems. Maybe my husband and you can figure something out. What are you using for a anti-virus software. Norton doesn't support 64 bit except for a 5 unit commercial network...bah humbug. La Nell Hi all I have installed legacy deluxe into windows vista 64 bit, it is a legal vista from Microsoft, legacy seems to be running no problem at the moment, naturally I am using a backup family file on a separate HD, is anyone else using vista (64) and got any problems. I'm not sure but it seems to run a little quicker, maybe my imagination.

Re: [LegacyUG] windows vista 64 bit
You are now the second user who has reported that Legacy is working under the latest version of Vista. Legacy would not run under earlier Beta versions of Vista. There were a variety of reported problems from installation failures to errors when starting Legacy after a "problem free" install.
