Solved! Problem with Microsoft Excel Program My computer crashed and I need to open EXCEL on a different computer that doesn't have Microsoft Office on it. I just checked, the computer is supposed to have 8 GB of installed RAM, that should be more than enough, right? I sort of wish I had waited a few more minutes, even X'd out, thus choosing neither option, and hopefully I could have forced Excel rather than restarting. But this time, there was no 'let's restart the computer in five minutes' thing, Excel had locked up, the pop-up appeared, Option 1. I think it was because Excel wasn't forcefully shut down, so it assumed anything that hadn't been saved wasn't meant to be. When I turned the computer back on, nothing was recovered. I has created a task in Task Scheduler for the computer to be shut down at. I'm familiar with what you're talking about. *should have replied to a few earlier posts this way, too late now. Gone.Īlso, you have to know the AutoSave timer.īottom line sounds like you might need more RAM to prevent this from happening again.

If the file was never actually saved, and the whole PC was restarted.the data just lived in the volatile RAM.

I imagine it would depend on the state of the 'data', and how the system or Excel was restarted. I also went in and out of nearly every folder on the C: drive, and NOTHING!!Īm I REALLY screwed, with no luck of getting my unsaved work back, or is there something I'm missing? ĭoes anyone know or understand why AutoRecovery doesn't work 100% of the time. I set the AutoRecover to save things in MyDocuments. I checked the location everyone suggests, UnsavedFiles, but 1.

So, I went with the simple 'restart Excel' because >expletive storm< what was the difference and I know what caused the crash. look for a solution online AND restart Excel or 2. I think another program I had open was using a crap ton of memory, affecting Excel, a pop-up appeared with two options, 1. Some I had saved regularly, others were new documents, that I had never saved, and some in between. One of the worst things that ever happens, Excel didn't recover!!
