Version 2.2 running on XP. In the last year or so I've lost two

Do you feel that the crash is OOo related, or Windows related?
My first recommendation is that you test your RAM. Download and burn a
copy of the Ultimate Boot CD (search for it on Google) and then run
something like memtest86+ over night to see if it finds any problems
with your RAM.
There are other tests that you can run as well to see if there is
something failing that can be fixed (but sometimes it is pure magic to
find the solution).
I've got a spreadsheet open. I have to shut the computer off at the
power strip. When I reboot, I get a restore file box (which normally
works fine). In these two cases, it looks like the file is being
restored, but when the spreadsheet opens, the data is gone.
Any thoughts or help?
To see where your backups are stored, use Tools > Options >
OpenOffice.org > Paths
Use Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > Load/Save > General to set the
auto-recovery save interval. If it saves the information every ten
minutes and the document has been opened for eight, there is nothing to
recover.
(I'm not a computer whiz; I can generally get programs to work pretty
well, but that's about it).
