I am working in MSWord. I created a document of 68 pages and saved it as 121107. I then created a new document of 3 pages and accidentally saved it as 121107. It has now overwritten the one of 121107 and it did not create a backup copy. Is there any way I can recover the first document called 121107?

The difference between free/open source doesn't matter to me. I just want functional software. If someone is really "only wanting open source" then they need to stop using windows and when they move to linux they need to not use any proprietary drivers, codecs, ect. What will happen when you do that? You will get a nonfunctional computer thats what.
Ubuntu has a version for those who want to try it(ubuntu includes all kinds of proprietary stuff in the default build):

As far as open source windows software goes this link is about the best you will probably get:
I use a freeware programme called Audacity. I connect a microphone to my computer and play tape-recodings of meetings, interviews, etc with a tape-recorder and record them as wav files with Audacity. If they are recordings of meetings, etc, I can then transcribe them with Express Scribe (also free) using a foot-pedal attached to my computer.

I have used CCleaner for years and years without a hitch. Suddenly this morning when I try to run the cleaner, it only runs for a few seconds and then CCleaner disappears off the screen. I tried shutting down and restarting but same thing happened. I downloaded the latest version and the same thing happened. (I am using Windows XP.) Please can you help?
Help, overwrite
in CCleaner

It was 68 pages!!! I did try with Recuva but no luck. I used the date of the hearing for the name of the document. I completed the one for 21 November, then called it up and used it to start a hearing on the 22nd. I changed the date at the top of the page from 21st to 22nd, deleted the rest of the document and went on typing merrily. Then I pressed Ctrl-S and that's when I saved it with the wrong name. Stupid, stupid me. It's not the first time I have done it. Do we never learn?
Thanks for suggestions.
