------- Additional comments from s...@openoffice.org Fri Dec 4 11:08:08 +0000 2009 ------- Hey, no it is a little too early to give up and start paying for an Office suite again... :-) When the office is de-installed and re-installed, the user path does not get removed. So a new installation of OOo will access this user directory again and may run into the same problems caused by "things within the user settings". Since this occurs on a few machines only (assuming that all installations were done "the same way"), maybe there is "odd characters" (Non-ASCII) in the respective user names? - This sometimes causes trouble, too. Please try this: Close the office (including quickstarter). See tools -Options - OOo - Paths where to find the user settings, it should be something like "..\Documents and Settings\[$UserName]\Application Data\OpenOffice.org\3\user\...". Rename ist (i.e. to \user_OLD\) or delete it. Then restart the office and see. The user tree will be written anew and only then you have a "real fresh installation" again. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
