AutoSave Add-in Not Loading-2nd request for assistance

[UserDave]

(Posted last week in "Excel-SetUp" with no response;
trying again in a more active group)
Running Office 2000 with Excel on Windows XP. Just
switched over from Windows 98 on a new computer and
loaded Office 2000 with it. Works fine, except have to
remember to recheck and reload the AutoSave (and any
other) Add-in every time I open Excel. Have tried saving
a new template to Excel start and have browsed thru the
knowledge base but haven't found anything. With Windows
98, once they were installed, they stayed there and
opened with Excel.
Suggestions, please.
Thanks

Sessions of Excel 2000


As an alternative, you may want to consider using Jan Karel Pieterse's addin
called AutoSafe (note spelling).

It doesn't overwrite the existing workbook when it saves. It saves to a user
selectable folder. And when it's done, it either deletes these backups (or puts
them in the recycle bin). And the user can always restore the backups from the
recycle bin.

(look for AutoSafe.zip, not autosafeVBE.zip, for your purposes.)

Thank you for your response.
Service Release 1A was supposed to be the fix for this
problem. I have the Service Release 1A already installed
on the computer but it did not solve it. I will
investigate use of the third party fix.
