recovered documents
My system will crash on the occasion. I will often have a number of excel
files open and changed since the last time that I have saved them. After I have rebooted, the files that were open will appear in the recovered document list, with [orginal] next to each file name. When I right mouse click on the file, the options are Open, Save as, and repair. No where does it show me the option to open the file as it was when the crash occurred. What do I need to do ? -- Thanks in advance, inthestands |

recovered documents
Your system is not "crashing". Microsoft has included a fail-safe system whereby you do something it does not expect, it will try to send a report to microsoft HQ. Turn off Error Reporting for Applications in the Systems Folder (not too sure where it is, look around control Panel). Just "Open" the file. You may have to save it as something else when you try to save the file. "inthestands" wrote: My system will crash on the occasion.
