Thanks to all that attempted to help. I finally found the problem, and it
was a permissions problem. For some reason, the file .user52.rdb
had been set to read only and StarOffice uses that file to store user
info, so it must be writeable by the user. Worse, reinstallation couldn't
help because I didn't have permission to overwrite that file.
I am at a loss to figure out how the file was restricted in the
first place.
Thanks,
Carey
