If i restart my computer, it will launch the first time but then it won't open for other docs until i restart again. any idea what might be wrong? thanks. Are you using a Windows system? If so, there are sometimes leftover instances of the soffice.bin process that confuse OOo into thinking it already is running when it isn't. To clear this up without having to restart your computer, you can use the Task Manager, on the Processes tab, to end any soffice.bin you see there (which will also end any associated soffice.exe processes). OOo should then start normally again. Ordinarily, closing all OOo windows takes care of this, but sometimes (for instance, if OOo ended abnormally) this doesn't happen. It is curious, though, that this seems to happen every time for you. Are you by any chance also using Lotus programs?

Re: [users] Open Office won't open/need expert advice
I understand why you must feel frustrated at this point! I'm not an expert, just a Mac user who did manage to install OOo and get it up and running last week. It sounds like you've got X11 correct. I just click on the yellow light in the upper left-hand corner of the X11 window and let it drop to the Dock, it doesn't bother me then. I figure it's best to leave it open in case it ever gives me some kind of error message. I have not tried to force-quit OOo or its Install, so I can't help you there. I'm running 10.4.7 on an eMac (obviously PPC, not Intel). I downloaded and installed all the software updates after installing from the DVD. Then when I tried to install OOo, I got a message that I didn't have X11 installed. When I tried to download X11 from the Apple site, it said I couldn't do that because I already had a newer version of X11 installed. I couldn't find it anywhere, but Spotlight could. I dragged it from the Spotlight window to the trash, secure emptied the trash, then re-installed X11 from my DVD, after which it appeared in my Utilities folder. Then OOo worked fine. When you re- installed the OS, did you get the software updates? I don't know if that would help or make things worse (since I had to trash X11 then and re-install it from my DVD), I'm just sharing what worked for me. When I downloaded OOo, two icons appeared on my desktop. I forget if I installed OOo from the Disk Image or from the other one, or if it just opened when I clicked on its icon, (I really should write these things down when I do them, as a just in case for later). I have to run right now, but here are some links that might help: the mini How-To can be downloaded from: http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/ooo-osx_downloads.html the small How-To can be downloaded from: http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/support.html There is a giant-sized manual somewhere that someone on the list pointed me to, that covered all the different operating systems, and I found the answer to my problems in an appendix that applied to Mac OS problems. I downloaded it as a PDF file and can't find the link to right now - I can send you the PDF file off-list later today or tomorrow morning if you want it and no one else points you to it in the meantime. List of OpenOffice.org Mac OS X issues and problems is at: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/ List_of_OpenOffice.org_Mac_OS_X_issues_and_problems but I don't think installation problems are covered there. Hopefully someone more expert will help at this point... if you can, be patient, don't fork out the hundreds of US$$$ for that other office suite yet. OOo really does work on a Mac, the open-source community really is great, but sometimes you have to put in a bit of time instead of $$$.
