  1. I'm sure that's it... I was preparing to uninstall everything Evernote... I got the non-legacy version uninstalled; removed startup Evernote stuff and started to work on the Legacy after I rebooted. Was messing around with other stuff for a few when suddenly I realized that Legacy was running and behaving nicely. I verified that every notebook was backed-up to an enex type file and did the search that prompted me to start up Evernote to begin with... I also removed the clipper. It's been running for 36 hours now with no issues. I will start the migration over to One Note soon. There is a program around that is supposed to convert enex files to One Note. I haven't tried it yet but hopefully that will suffice as I convert one notebook at a time. Failing that, I'll try to clear out stuff I no longer want or need and move stuff over manually... one notebook a day or so. Thanks for your help.
  2. I just tried to install Legacy again and it failed. Got a popup asking if I would allow error report to be sent to EN which I did. I do have EN installed on a laptop (new version I believe). Hopefully I haven't lost everything. I downloaded revosetup.exe. I'll try that next. Wondering if there is some garbage in the registry. Yikes!!!
  3. Well I uninstalled the Non-legacy version and now my legacy version is trashed - actually the program file folder has nothing in it. I may have lost everything... sigh
  4. I'm getting a strange UI so I may not be responding to PinkElephant as is my intention. I am definitely using the Legacy version as it is so marked when I open it. It seems as though I should uninstall Evernote completely from this computer and be sure to ONLY reinstall the Legacy version. I have stopped adding notes to Evernote as I am switching to One Note for anything new. Hopefully I can get most of my EN notes moved over, but I have 10 years worth (over 20,000) so this is going to be a major chore of filtering out stuff I don't want. I'm chin-deep in Red Cross work preparing for the upcoming hurricane/fire season so this won't happen quickly. Thanks to both of you for your help.
  5. That may be the problem... I'll check. However this only started a month or so ago and if it got installed, it wasn't intentional on my part. I've been using Legacy on this computer for a few years... ever since Evernote came out with their so-called "new and improved" edition a few years ago. I had hoped I could continue on with Legacy, but this latest phenomenon ends up taking over my computer so not only can't I use Evernote, but I can't use any other application. I'm using a recent Intel processor, 32 GB of memory and an SSD 1T drive so this behavior is quite alarming.
  6. and it won't allow me to shut it down... I exit it and it starts right up again. On top of that, it keeps grabbing the focus so I can't use any other app which is running on my computer. How do I stop the new version from initiating itself?
  7. I really tried to figure out how to utilize LN for personal info and tasks, but once I was no longer a (then) IBM Business Partner (2001) and thus no longer getting free software, I had to abandon that dream. If you ever come across something similar (esp with workflow included), please post here. I've followed you. As a Red Cross volunteer, I'm looking closely at the MS Sharepoint suite of inter-related products and I think I'll be able to cludge something together with them although I can't have my personal data store on the ARC servers so I'll have to see what's available retail. It is so bizarre to be using MS products again after being so critical of their pathetic attempts in the 90's to compete with Lotus Notes! Here we are 25 years later!
  8. First off, the legacy app has so many bugs, TMTC, and obviously they won't be fixing any. Secondly, it is only a matter of time before it will no longer be available. I use the premium version which requires a subscription and certain functions that they could drop at any moment; In fact the entire sync function is totally dependent on their servers and their support. You're in a dream world if you think EN, the company, will lift a finger to ensure that these services go forward.
  9. It has to do with how much time and effort we have put into EN to have it really alleviate a lot of pain in handling our information needs and desires. It also has to do with the tremendous challenge of researching and choosing an alternative and then moving 10's of thousands of documents, notes, etc. over to a new system. I was a Lotus Development Business Partner before I retired. I loved Lotus Notes; consulted with clients; developed various workflow/business processes with it. If there was any way to use it as a personal tool, I certainly would today. But, sadly, it isn't affordable for personal use. Then I found Evernote and it satisfies my information needs. Now, after years and 20,000 notes, I have to go through that process all over again. I'm sad and really pissed off.
  10. I appreciate your post and agree re: the web clipper. I read a post from an EN employee that said it was impossible to install the legacy version, but then, by chance, I found a link to it so that's what I'm doing. I already had it on my other computers (but getting rid of two of them). I'm a long time Premium user so I was shattered by the idea that I had to suddenly switch to another tool. I would love to know what template you are using for journaling. Thanks for your valuable post.
  11. Why? because I didn't find those in a search... What I'm wondering is why wasn't it easier to get to them.
  12. Nope... not serious... just pointing out how stupid and ignorant they were in making this decision.
  13. What really shakes me up is this: how is it that Evernote, the company, didn't know that it had a user base that tolerated crappy, buggy releases for nearly a decade and who would cry when they realized they had to get a divorce? Didn't anyone there realize how valuable having a user base like that was? My immediate thought was that another company had taken them over. Maybe we were a cult? I'm now going through the stages of grief. The only scenario that makes sense for Evernote spending people and money capital to produce such an abysmal product such as 10.x is that they were taken over by an investment group that wants to see its demise... reminds me of what happened to a superlative computer manufacturer, TANDEM, a few decades ago. That computer ran circles around IBM and others. Now just a few grey-hairs like myself remember it.
  14. This guy is brilliant and offers great insights on the future field of note taking; thought organizing, and collaboration. Along with pointing out the obvious DOWNGRADING OF EVERNOTE in its 10.x release, his major criticism is that Evernote, the company, DOES NOT LISTEN TO ITS USERS. To me, that is a death knell. The whole point of a product like Evernote is to enable the productivity and effectiveness of its users and if it is making decisions counter to that principle, then it might as well start making kid's video games. I poked around last night and every time I found a post from an Evernote "leader" I found them saying "Tell us what you think." and then closing down any opportunity for user feedback (i.e. the reply option was locked). That says it all. Plus 10 weeks to get a response from the tech support staff. Be Patient? Are you f'g kidding me? Hire more people or release a product that has been adequately tested. I spent 40 years in software development from being a lowly programmer in 1965 (yes, I'm an elder - 78 yo woman) to leading project teams developing major systems for major firms. I'm totally clear what it means when you can't keep up with customer complaints and technical issues. Give me a break!
  15. How do you reinstall legacy. I cannot use the newest version. It is really horrible... modern design? give me a break. I don't use Evernote to win beauty contests. I used it to get stuff done.
