Macros Gone

Post by fightcancer » Tue Jan 20, 2015 7:00 am

I opened MS 14.2.02 and noticed that all my macros are missing. What happened??

Now I must import them all and re-assign KB shortcuts.

Don't know. Maybe something shredded the data file. Data files are automatically backed up so you should be able to restore. Look in My Documents\Macro Scheduler 14.

Same issue in 14.3.11. My PC just had a stop error (BSOD). After the restart, all macros and groups are gone. Ugh! Why does this happen??

I don't know but if your PC is crashing so suddenly like that then any files being opened/closed/updated at the exact same time of the crash are very likely to get corrupted and there may well be other corrupt files on your system. I'd want to know why your PC is stopping like that.

An Android emulator called Bluestacks, since uninstalled.

I look forward to the day when other software, however poorly written it may be, doesn't endanger my MS setup.
