How to save your data in case of your computer gets stuck???

You must have happened to experience a situation that all of a sudden your computer got stuck & you lost all the unsaved work that you had been doing.

Next time if you have the same situation, do the following

Press Ctrl+alt+Del - You know that this opens the "Task manager"
Select "Processes"
Select "Explorer.exe" and Click on "End Process"
You will see that your "Start" button & the bar at the bottom disappear.

Then Click on File - On the same "processes" screen
Select "New Task (Run)"
Type "Explorer.exe"

Now you should be fine. Even now you can check see this one.

(Sorry if this is a repost)

keystroke capture

I just participated in a facebook thing that is going around where you write 25 random facts about yourself, and I just finished it, it was a masterpiece. But I clicked something as I was trying to add tags to it which took me off the page, and when I did a browser "back" everything I had typed was gone.

I just don't have it in me to do it again, so I am giving up. But what occurs to me is that if I had some sort of keystroke preserver this could never happen to me again.

Anyone able to recommend a keystroke capture program? (or a trickier way to go "back" a web page and have all the text fields preserved?) I am on Vista, which still pales compared to Mac of course, but it's getting better. I wouldn't mind knowing a good keystroke capture program for Mac too; my wife uses Mac.

Thanks!

Keystroke capture (Firefox only)

Okay not exactly keystroke capture, but I have been using Lazarus for firefox for several months now, and what a lifesaver! Go to tools, addons, and it's probably in "recommended addons", but if not you can do a search for it.

It operates by right-clicking and form field and it lets you refresh whatever you had typed before. Another nice feature is that if you restore one form field. Lazarus will restore any other fields you had entered data into.

It does not seem to re-select pulldown option menus, but it captures your text, which is usually the hardest to remember.

Well worth the download.
