this is the second loss I have had, I even pointed autosave to my

cause this does not happen quickly, you have to wait up to 30 seconds
or more, in the time lost now with the documents lost I could pay for
MS office ten times over. Time to stop wasting my time with crap.
I apologise to the board for my outburst the loss made me very angry
and guilty that I did not manually save, I have never had this problem
with previous versions 1 and 2 and have gotten used to the auto save
when power problems occur. I have an inverter in place here as well
and my machine is the only one that losses its power momentarily,
switching of in the event of a power failure, a problem which I seem
unable to find a solution for either.

Would it be better to invest in a UPS to control your power supply
problems and prevent your machine from rebooting every time the power
cuts out. It seems to me to be a power and hardware problem rather than
an OpenOffice problem. The other option would be to use a laptop and the
battery in that would prevent your machine from dropping. A surge
protector should stop a laptop from being damaged by power surges.

Hey Rob I HAVE AN INVERTER this is a thing that charges/powers a very
large bank of industrial battery's that runs the entire office, its not
a UPS, but for some reason my PC looses a split second and does not
switch immediately but it works extremely well for the other office
devices running this office (7 PC's, Printers, fax, network and even
some lighting) for over three hours without power if necessary.
After the power down Rob, the system recovers my file from the backup
folder, the thing is Rob, the backed up file which I have seen, as I
checked this after the last disaster, disappears on the recovery?
Other posts say there's works, I suggest you open a document of at least
half a meg, allow an autosave, then just pull the plug, only then can
you see if this is working.
