Saving Auto Save Settings

I downloaded the Auto Save plugin for Excel and set my
preferences to autosave automatically every 1 minute and
not to prompt me before saving. But every time I reboot
the prefs go back to the default of saving every 10
minutes and requiring a prompt.

Anyone know how to get Excel to retain my autosave
settings?

thx.

Dave,

Took a look at the documentation for this update and it
says its for Windows 2000. I run XP. Will this will be
a problem? Where do I look to see if there's an update
specifically for XP users?

thx.

I wouldn't use it. I looked at the KB and the patch is to excel proper--not
just the addin:

OFF2000: How to Obtain and Install Microsoft Office 2000 Service Release 1/1a
(SR-1/SR-1a)

I know that AutoSave isn't part of xl2002 (so you must have brought a copy from
a previous version). So I don't think you'll find a patch for xl2002.

What setting isn't being saved for you? I've seen posts that set some of the
options everytime excel opens.
 
I'm trying to save the interval at which the doc
autosaves - in my case, auto save every 1 minute because
I have unexplained powerdowns with my computer. might be
a thermostat issue but haven't had time to send it into
the shop for replacement. the other setting is not
requiring the prompt before saving. my work keeps
getting interupted while I agree to the auto save. for
now, I'll just reset the prefs for this feature everytime
I open Excel. Also, I may spring for the $35 and get MS
Support Team on this. If they solve it will be worth the
money and if they can't then no charge. I'll post
whatever I find out.
