I'm running Emacs 23 on a laptop, and the laptop sometimes loses power.
That's not the problem.
When I boot and restart Emacs, I go to the File menu > "Recover Crashed
Session", it brings up a window like so:
Move to the session you want to recover,
then type C-c C-c to select it.
You can also delete some of these files;
type d on a line to mark that file for deletion.
c:/Documents and Settings/Stephen Edwards/Application
Data/.emacs.d/auto-save-list:
wildcard .saves-*
total used in directory 4 available 21959352
-rw-rw-rw- 1 Yary None 778 09-02 16:13 .saves-360-POPNOTE~
-rw-rw-rw- 1 Yary None 382 08-15 09:21 .saves-1648-POPNOTE~
...
I put the cursor on the first line (".saves-492-POPNOTE~") and hit
C-c C-C, and get this error in *Messages*:
No files can be recovered from this session now
That error happens for any of the .saves files
The contents of .saves-360-POPNOTE~:

The files exist, the temp files do not exist- in this case, I had
saved all my work.
