Simon is using an IBM-produced JRE. It is difficult to imagine this being the problem.

Hi Simon, on my machine it looks like this: after opening Tools->Options->OpenOffice.org->Java it takes a short time to populate the list of available JREs. From these I can select the one to use, no need to enter a path manually. The paths of some available JREs (all are 32 bit) are c:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_27\jre c:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7 Regards, Andre On 18.04.2012 21:13, Shenfeng Liu wrote: > Sorry, that I clicked "Send" in mistake before I finish.
