Legacy genealogy software for Windows has stopped working

Updated over 3 months ago

When Legacy will not run and your get the message:

Legacy Genealogy Software for Windows has stopped working

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

Update critical system drivers, in particular the video driver. The NVIDIA driver has been a problem with many users. If you have an NVIDIA driver:

1) Right click on the Legacy icon.
2) Select "Run with Graphics Processor"
3) Select "Integrated Graphics" as opposed to "High Performance NVIDIA Processor"​
