    Annoying autosave pop up
    I have this thing that keeps popping up every freakin second on my computer. Its says:

    AutoSave has switched to logging mode and will maintain a list of files to back up. To continute using AutoSave you have to specify another backup location in Setup Wizard or recreate the Database.dat file at the same location by selecting Rebuild database under the Tools->Advanced menu.

    Well I don't know where to find this Setup Wizard on here and there is no such option as Rebuild database in the tools advanced menu that I have seen. Ive looked in there twice already.

    Do you have an external drive? It sounds like the autobackup software that comes with some external drives.
