V8.1 continues the "user is not the administrator" security model Microsoft started with the release of Vista. Navigate to the .EXE files. Right-Click the application and enable the "Run as Administrator". You can also right click the shortcut and temporarily run the application with administrator access.

Start TaskManager (Ctrl Shift Esc) and Kill any soffice processes shown as 
running on TaskManager's Processes tab. That should cure the problem.
