Re: Open Office crashes ?
This may or may not help, as I am running OpenOffice on a Linux machine; however, I did have that same problem. First thing for me was to make sure that I had purged my system of any competing application (notably, LibreOffice). I am uncertain how to go about this on your machine, as I haven't used other systems in a very long time. Also, it might not matter so much with a different system. Most Linux systems install LibreOffice by default, and moreover keep trying to uninstall OpenOffice and to install LibreOffice instead. So that part may or may not apply to your situation, but it's worth considering. Second is the actual trick that I used to get OpenOffice to run without crashing. After trying to start OpenOffice by clicking to open, and by trying to open various office documents with OpenOffice, it occurred to me to try a plain text document (that is, with the extension .txt). I just clicked on the plain text document, and used the "open with" dialog, then chose OpenOffice, and bingo! it worked. It's been running without a hitch ever since.

Re: Open Office crashes ?
Maybe you are waiting too short, and he (computer, system) does not manage to load everything? After turning on the computer, wait a few minutes after you think you have finished charging all drivers, processes, etc. Po polsku: Może za krótko czekasz, i on (komputer, system) nie zdąża wszystkiego załadować? Po włączeniu komputera poczekaj kilka minut po tym, jak ci się wydaje, że już skończył ładować wszystkie sterowniki, procesy itp. czw., 15 lut 2024, 11:34 użytkownik Newforce Pty Ltd < wishairlie...@gmail.com> napisał: > Dear Users, > I have a Windows 11 computer and I have installed then uninstalled and > reinstalled Open Office 4.1.15 suite. > Any of my Open Office applications always crash immediately upon starting, > every time.

Open Office crashes ?
Dear Users, I have a Windows 11 computer and I have installed then uninstalled and reinstalled Open Office 4.1.15 suite. Any of my Open Office applications always crash immediately upon starting, every time. I then get the notice to allow it to either 'wait for the programme to respond' or 'close the programme'. I always choose to 'close the programme' . It then sends a crash report to Microsoft (but I never get anything from them). Then, if I open the Open Office application immediately, it comes good straight away with full functionality. How do I fix this issue ? Yours faithfully, Mr G Douglas

Linda - Writing '%AppData%' is meant to be instead of specifying 'C:\Users\username\AppData'. I think that 'OO Software > OO ShutUp10' is related to 'O&O ShutUp10', some kind of privacy tool.

Re: Open Office Crashes
Att: Shari Lynn Smith Thanks for your very detailed instructions to be able to open my documents and to find them after they are saved. However, I have 4.1.6 (not 14) and I wonder if I should download the 4.1.14? When you say to 'quit' open office, the only option close to that would be to delete. I'm afraid to delete it, as I have journals on my computer back 35 years, and they are all in .odt format. When I open windows explorer, I did not see the folders app to 'view hidden folders' but I did "view hidden items". If you advise me to install Apache Open Office 4.1.14, should I uninstall 4.1.6 first? I've been typing from a handwritten journal 1983-87--and yesterday I retyped 7 pages that were lost from the last two days, and right after I saved it, I tried to open it, and the only one by that name that would open was missing a whole month of 7 typed pages. In an effort to open it, I now have 6 folders of the same name in 'recent files' and they all tell me 'The requested operation requires elevation." I have been unable to find my user information. but maybe if I have the later edition it would work. Again, thank you so much--I've really made a mess of things in my new computer, and need a lesson on organizing. I'm having trouble seeing what is on the C drive and what is on my flash drive--I'd like to move all the flash drive docs over.. II await your advice.
