The obvious point is to ask if you have checked that the children are still
properly linked to their respective parents. From what you say I guess they
probably are but worth checking.
It may be that in the transfer the file links got slightly corrupted so I would

Darlene,
If I understand correctly, your two children and his two children are
not related except by marriage, making them step-siblings rather than
1/2 siblings. If I am correct in this interpretation, the children

I respectfully disagree. I have multiple step-family relationships in

step-children will not show up as 1/2 siblings when there is no parent

I stand corrected. I just checked and for no reason I can possibly

There is a parent in common in a sense. You could create a Test

This isn't a bug. By your mother marrying another spouse, you are
automatically a step child of this person. You don't have to tell Legacy

may not be correct but I see it as the child belonging to 1/2 the couple
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
