the profile is not removed at uninstall, since it would affect 
updates, too.


rename folder %appdata%\OpenOffice\4 (windows)

If this solves the crashes, would you mind to zip and send me the profile?

I have a theory why this happens, but it would help to have confirmation.

I'm not sure I did what you asked. I renamed the folder in which OpenOffice is 
located, the that is not the application file that starts the program. I don't 
know where to find that, it that's what I was supposed to rename. Anyway, this 
didn't work. It seemed to work for part of a day and then is started freezing 
again Now I can't even start it. I'll have to erase it and download a fresh 
copy.
