Hello,
Several months ago, I posted a question about a problem I was having
with Legacy window screens not holding their size.
The fix for this was suggested to delete the Legacy2.USR file in the
Legacy folder.
Deleting this file does indeed cause the Legacy screens to keep the
sizes I set..for a
Ok, I've had enough of my Legacy screens reducing after I delete the
Legact2.USR file.
I'm going to do a complete uninstall and reinstall of Legacy.
Problem is I've never done this and a little nervous and could use some
pointers.
I looked for advice on the Legacy pages but couldn't find any info.
Check/repair only verifies and fixes the Family File. It doesn't
affect Legacy or any of the associated usr files.
Just recently, there's been an extensive discussion about file sizes
for pictures linked to in Legacy. We recommend that pictures be
resized to about 150-200 KB, linking that one to L

Thanks Sherry,
I don't understand something,

I have yet to come across any uninstall process for a product that does
I also use the freeware program Revo Uninstaller to remove any last traces of a
program like Legacy from my computer prior to a reinstallation.

When you uninstall Legacy, the main Legacy folder remains to preserve
your Family Files as well as anything else you've changed or added to
that folder - for example, when you change settings, those are in the
.usr files and are not removed by the uninstall. If you've saved a
Color Scheme, that won
I'm sure you realize that this would be a non-issue if Legacy had been
putting its settings and user's data in the places where they should
have been since Windows 95. ;)

Hello,
I think I have a problem. I tried to do an uninstall following the given
instructions.
First I tried to uninstall by using the file in the Legacy folder,
"Uninstall Legacy 7.5"
(there are also files Uninstall Legacy 7.0 and Uninstall Legacy 7.4).I
might have tried Uninstall Legacy 7.0 first.
Brian,
Firstly try installing on top and see if that puts in the missing log file.

Can you not use the uninstall program that's in the Legacy folder. That's how I
corrected my problem.

Yes, I was aware of that, but I wasn't entirely clear from Brian's
description (must confess to not having read the entire thread) whether
or not some *some* uninstalling had taken place
Brian,
To fully uninstall Legacy, download Revo uninstaller (there is a free
version). Because you have a partial uninstall, you will need to reinstall
the latest version of Legacy before you can use Revo. i never use the
Windows uninstall option to remove unwanted programs. Windows has a habit
I have Revo Uninstaller, I'll run it soon,
right know I have to devote my attention to my wife.
Soon as I can, I'll be back to tell how Revo worked out.

Well I found Legacy listed in the Program list using Revo Uninstaller
and then I uninstalled legacy.
It is no longer listed in the Revo program list or the program list in
the control panel in Add/remove Programs.
However the Legacy folders, files,shortcuts, all of it, is still where
it was and ope
I took Ron's advice and installed Legacy again and the program was again
appearing in various program lists.
So I found Legacy in Revo Uninstaller and used the "Forced Uninstall"
feature and successfully removed Legacy,
Then Revo suggested to run a scan to remove the residuals of Legacy
after the u
the latest version of Legacy and use
your backup of Legacy to get going again, hopefully without the problems you
are now experiencing.

Colin.

Apologies Brian, I sent my message before I realised that you had a copy of
Revo and had the problem in hand and now hopefully all sorted.
