It does take time to learn how to use your program. You say that you have set
it to open with your family tree, presumably using OptionsCustomise. For me,
this setting does work.
You ask where is your family file, provided Legacy is installed to the default,
and you have not told legacy to

so now i am on my new laptop with Windows 8, I downloaded Legacy and
put the family tree on this computer also. There is only the sample

Sorry about my last post - I'm not 100% sure this will work either!
Exactly what have you found: your backup which will have the form *.zip, or
your family file, *.fdb? And where is it located?
Without this information I'm afraid that we cannot really answer your question.

I found it on a new thumb drive I got last night. the strange thing
is, the new death date I entered did not save last night.
So on my new laptop, I have been testing Legacy. I saved it in the

I did not express myself as clearly as I wanted to in the post below.
What I was trying to get over was that this list has many users without
