How do I prevent data loss when the computer locks up or is turned off unexpectedly ?
Always close Power Clock by using the Exit Program option on the file menu, or press Alt+X, or click the close button in the upper right-hand corner of the main screen. You MAY have data loss or corruption if Power Clock is not shut down properly. This is true of any software program. When you reload Power Clock it will automatically rebuild its data files and should recover any lost data. You can also run Pack/Rebuild data files from the File menu. A must for any computer is a UPS (Uninteruptible Power Supply). These devices cost around $100 and contain a battery that keeps your computer running for a short time in case of a power loss. During this time you can shut down Windows.
