After copying some files, test to see if the problem is back. If it seems stable (not crashing again) then you can go on to copy the next few files/folders. That may help to track down which files were causing the problem. Narrowing it down like that, you could probably get most of your old settings back. Almost like cutting out the bad part of an apple, without throwing the whole apple away. But if you don't mind losing your previous settings (and just configuring LibO again), then I guess you don't need to go through the effort.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice won't start
Hi :) Congrats on fixing that! It can be great to start afresh :) I think someone has suggested copy a couple of folders at a time from the old profile back into the new one until it breaks again. Then just delete those folders to force new ones to be created. Eventually you pin-point where the trouble was and get all your old stuff back, except whatever was causing trouble. It's a good plan if you have time and feel the need but as the person stated there is no real need to do that except curiosity, or if it happens again. The main thing is that you fixed it :)) Congrats :) Regards from Tom :) - Original Message From: ian_mcquay ian.mcq...@gmail.com To: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Wed, 29 June, 2011 6:48:49 Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice won't start Tom said: Can you re-name your current user-profile to get it all back to factory defaults? Woo Hoo. Thanks Tom! That seems to have done the trick. I have opened several LO apps through the day and no problems. RE What version. I was having the same problems on 3.3.3 and 3.4.0. It is fine now in 3.4.0 with the user-profile changed. 3.3.3 is still uninstalled. So it was something in the user profile that caused the problems. There is a .tmp file in the old *3\user* directory. I moved it to the new directory but id did not affect the starting. Thanks one and all for the help.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice won't start
Hi :) Is that still LO 3.3.3 on 64 bit Win7 ? Can you re-name your current user-profile to get it all back to factory defaults? http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile For Win7 i think the pathname is \Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\libreoffice\3\user I think i would rename the whole folder at the 3 point changing \Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\libreoffice\3 to \Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\libreoffice\2011-06-28 The reverse date as a folder name means you can keep track of what the back-ups mean. If renaming the profile works then you can copy chunks of your old profile back into the newer one. The advantage with renaming is that you keep everything in the galleries and temp folders. Also it allows you to compare and contrast to pinpoint where the problem happened if you have time at some future date.

Now the same commandline will not start LibreOffice. I get the splash screen but no program window. I also get nothing in the Task Manager Processes.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice won't start
Hi :) If you still have the downloads for 3.3.3 and 3.4.0 then it might be interesting to install both alongside each other so that if 1 is not quite doing what you want then you have easy access to the other http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel Regards from Tom :) - Original Message From: ian_mcquay ian.mcq...@gmail.com To: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Tue, 28 June, 2011 2:35:08 Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice won't start Sigrid said: While in the Task Manager, just delete soffice.bin, this should also automatically delete the two other processes. Thanks that works. Sigrid said: If you see the recovery assistant again, instead of saying yes, recover my files just click on cancel and LibO should start anew with a new document or at least with the startcenter open. There is no Cancel button just OK. The close [X] in the top corner does not work either. Sigrid said: I can see that this is frustrating - please try the above mentioned methods and report back if it has helped you. Not so far. Sorry for the delay for got to watch this email for responses. I checked the MD5 on my download an that is fine. I have tried repair but that did not change anything. I did a new install over the top and it started calc once but not again. I did an uninstall (twice) and re-install. One allowed me to start calc then writer but then it was back to recovery. The other time it was straight to recovery. I am downloading 3.4.0 Ian -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/LibreOffice-won-t-start-tp3098445p3116073.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@global.libreoffice.org In case of problems unsubscribing, write to postmas...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@global.libreoffice.org In case of problems unsubscribing, write to postmas...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
