Hi :)
Yes, just rename your user-profile
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile
and/or install one of the stable versions from the proper official website
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/
and keep away from alph or beta testing unless you really want to test and try
out new features before the official release dates (like previewing a film
before the box-office opening)
Regards from
Tom :)

But now I am really disappointed about your software. LibreOffice crashed in
my previous version while trying to do table calculation (typing the = sign
caused the error).
In LibreOffice 3.4.2 000340m1 (Build:1206) I got this error message:
terminate called after throwing an instance of
'com::sun::star::loader::CannotActivateFactoryException'
In my opinion this blooper should not happen with your about 10 years
openSource in office suite development!
And I seriously think about to use only openOffice in future.
Community openSource software means also to check the software before
releasing.
Thomas,
There was a *massive* amount of code refactoring in the 3.4.x release that
stripped out *tons* of old/outdated code, and that will make working with the
code much easier down the road.
It sounds like you may have encountered an issue with some corruption in your
user profile, which can just as easily happen in Openoffice (so switching to it
will *not* make you immune to something similar in the future).
You would be unwise to make a knee-jerk decision based on one little thing like
this, especially when using a major new version that you were *warned* may have
some issues (you *did* read the release notes, right?). Also, fyi, 3.4.3 was
the version of the 3.4.x series that was recommended for people to switch to as
the new stable version, so complaining about a version that is older than that
with known issues, without at *least* switching to the most current version
first, is just dumb.
I understand that 3.5 will do something similar, but probably with less serious
chances of breakage. I *always* wait until at least two or 3 point releases of
a major version update before switching en masse to it
On other possibility - do you *upgrade* (install over the top of the old
version) when updating, or do you do a full uninstall/reinstall?
I *always* uninstall the old version first (leaving my user profile), the
install the new version (started doing this a long time ago when I encountered
occasional problems when installing the new version on top of the old
version)...
