    Hello Steve,
    At first I thought the problem was with the copying programs, but it
    appears that it is not. The file is copied just fine, but the first
    time I try to open it RM (6 or 7) on the XP computer it seems to
    truncate it to 100Mb and then reports it as malformed. But when I
    manually copy it a second time, it seems to open it correctly.

    Any suggestions about what might be causing such a problem, and how to >>> overcome it?
    At first sight, I would also think that it's a problem caused by using
    an old RM version on an old Windows, but when I test this combination
    here, running RM 7 Essentials on Windows XP on a virtual machine, inside Linux, after importing a 300,000 person GEDCOM, which creates a RMGC
    file of 222.5 MB, I see no error or truncation, so it looks like there
    is some issue with your desktop that I can't simulate here.

    Have you tried the RootsMagic community forum?

    I'm on that forum myself too, and it works quite well.
