I've written an auto save program that will help (hopefully) with crashes in any program (pretty much!), I'm testing it now and it's working pretty well with all the programs I've used it with. I'll post the source code and compiled exe soon.
Breakdown of it is, it asks you what program to launch and then after a time you set it brings that app to the front and sends a key combination you set (default is Ctrl S) to the app. Program location, keys to send and save frequency is saved in the registry so you don't have to keep setting it up.
