Dar, I don't use the autosave settings, but I did a quick google search for you about it. It goes to where you save it. Below I pasted what I found at a website... Well, my all time favorite is using the AutoSave feature in PSP. Go to File/Preferences/Auto Save Settings. Put a check mark in the Enable Auto Save box, and set it to 5 minutes, then click OK. Now, whenever you start a new image or PSP project, as soon as you open the initial canvas, go to File/Save As - save it in the .PSP file format to a folder of your choice ( a folder that you will know where you saved it to ), then continue with your project. Auto Save will save your additions every 5 minutes so if PSP crashes, your work will be saved for you! You have to first manually save it to your folder of choice, then auto save will take over. But no way I would have it set for 5 minutes. Have it the lowest, which is 1 minute. If they had a 30 seconds choice, I would do that, which is why I don't use auto save. It just takes a second to click the save icon and I prefer to do it quite often.

Sorry I had to leave for a few minutes I can better show U the problem. Until today the red would have filled the whole NEW layer I added on.. I added a new layer.. sent it to the bottom & it would have covered the bottom layer..Now U can see what it is doing. I used red so it was easier to see. I don't know why. I sure would like to get it so it would do the same as before again but how? I have also added one done in PSP8 which is how it should do in 9 but isn't. I put purple so it would be easier to see again. Dar

Hang in there Dar. It's slow around here lately but maybe someone will come along with an answer for you. Judy

If you were running a Windows operating system on your computer and it was on-line or connected on-line sometime after midnight on Saturday night, it will automatically change its screen display clock by one hour. Historical note: An early version of Windows had a time-change glitch. I think is was about version 3.0. It changed the display clock at midnight. If the computer was on at midnight, it set the clock back one hour and if the computer remained in use for another hour, midnight again would appear and the clock would be reset again. This would continue until the computer was shut down. The hazard was time stamps on files created during this period. Some applications were programmed to keep the newer versions of a file and delete the older version. Auto-save in word processors was a common feature. If a file was made just before the time change, then the next file would be made maybe 10 minutes later would have the setback date and appear as an older file. When the auto-save kicked in, it would toss out the new file and revert to the older file. The user would be staring at his work wondering what happened to the changes he had just made.
