Re: [libreoffice-users] Spell check for 3.4.5 on Win7 not working
Sorry Tom, but I installed the one I always use for initial Java install before I install LO. As I id say, I hope to get access to the laptop soon to connect it to the Net and work on the problem[s]. Then I can get all of the Win7 updates and get the utility software as well. On 02/16/2012 08:15 PM, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) Hmm, weird. Perhaps it's too high a version of java?

RE: [libreoffice-users] Spell check for 3.4.5 on Win7 not working
Hi :) I know LibreOffice 3.5.0 can use java 1.7 but i doubt that has been back-ported to all other releases that people are using out there. Java is going to be a problem until we can get rid of any dependence on it completely. It's not our devs fault that Oracle can't write something that isn't broken and vulnerable before Oracle release it.

RE: [libreoffice-users] Spell check for 3.4.5 on Win7 not working
Tom, No. You've misunderstood the whole Java JRE and BASE HSQLDB performance issue. Problem is not and never was with the Sun/Oracle Java JRE. The past problem with LibO and OOo HSQLDB performance was with process thread creation in the LibO/OOo JDBC interface. The dev patch (by Stephen Bergmann) for Bug 35023 Base functions extremely slowly with Java 1.6.0_20 and 1.6.0_24 has been applied to the 3.5.0 core, and may make it into 3.4.6; but use of a 1.6u21 JRE was only a work around for LibO's BASE native HSQLDB 1.8 performance issues as that version of the JRE handled needed threads differently. Use of Java JRE 1.7 (with Oracle Corp ownership strings) was back ported to 3.4.5--so no issue there. Look for issues with spell check elsewhere.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Spell check for 3.4.5 on Win7 not working
Hi :) Sounds like her machine was just being a bit slow. If that is Windows then perhaps defrag, Disk Clean-up, perhaps uninstall the 2nd and 3rd antivirus program. Watch out for auto-scans and defrags. Empty the wastebin and the wastebin of the emailing program she uses. Windows performance seems to suddenly drop off if the 'drive' is over 80% full. If the defragger shows 21% free space then that is about as good as it gets unless you can get it right down to almost nothing on the hard-drive (unlikely) when there seems to be another slight boost in performance. Set the virtual memory to a fixed size about 2xRam or a little less, anything over Ram but below 2xRam is about perfect.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Spell check for 3.4.5 on Win7 not working
Her laptop is faster than my quad. It is a desktop replacement. There is hardly any space used on the drive itself. She has not had time to place anything on it. I wish I had a machine as fast as her laptop. I still have to add Virus protection and other utilities as well. LO was the first package to be installed on the thing. I added some video files [less than 3 Gig total] to the laptop so she could watch them later. So I doubt it is an issue with a too full system or one needing to be defragged, etc., etc..
