is there no autosave or recovery in Inventor? And if there is, how do I turn
it on. I've lost a lot of valuable work time due to inventor shutting down on
me all the time. I know to save, save, save, but sometimes you get lost in the
work and the next time you blink is when you get the I'm sorry, inventor has
caused a serious error and needs to shut down, and by then it's too late.
Please help!

No autosave. I can count the crashes on my system in the
past year with less fingers than on one hand. You need to troubleshoot WHY you
are having the frequent crashes.

How "old" is your Windows installation?
I was having the same problem with IV2009, far more crashes than as far back as I can rememeber (IV5.3!!!) So I took the bull by the horns, wiped my hard disk, installed everything again and now the stability is back to normal. It's gone from probabaly three crashes per day to 1 in 2 weeks and even then I knew I was doing something a bit naughty anyway that was asking for a crash!
I was getting a lot of disk activity and then IV2009 just disappearing.
It may well be worth leaving MemTest running overnight but I bet a nice clean Windows installation will sort it out.

"old" is your Windows installation? Good point. Our IT re-ghosts (is that the
right term) our hard dirves every semester and I don't see that many crashes
from all our users put together. I was having trouble on my personal machine
between r2008 and 2009 and finally bit the bullet and spent most of a day
cleaning it up. Aftwards Inventor was very stable.
