I believe you didn't understand the instructions.
Go to the Start Menu in Windows - tell us if you don't know what this
is. And note it's part of Windows, not of OpenOffice.
Note there's probably a simpler way to do the following but I'm not
mainly a Windows user and this should work (first read through these
instructions before executing any of them):
(0) to shut down OpenOffice, enter 'ctl + alt + delete' keys at once,
choose 'task manage'; find OpenOffice; right-click; choose 'end task';
you can close 'task manager' if you want.
(I don't know if Dick Groskamp has a better way?)
then:
(1) type 'cmd' (no quotes)
(2) click 'run as an administrator'
(3) write or copy the command Dick Groskamp gave you, making sure to
enter your actual username.
(4) then restart OpenOffice.
report back with questions, results, etc.

Try to renew your userprofile.
Close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter (if enabled)
Go to C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice\4
There is a folder called user. Rename that folder to something else, for
instance "user_old"
Go back and restart OpenOffice. It will make a new folder user.
This method often solves strange problems :-)

I recently upgraded to a new Lenovo laptop with Windows 11. I also
downloaded OpenOffice ver. 4.1.14. It has never been stable. When I
finish
a document (mostly easy spreadsheets0 I cannot reopen the document. The

before I
can access any of the docs. That was a pain in the neck, but things
worked.
Today, it required "defragging" all prior documents again, but stalled
and
locked up totally. It has not started a recovery on ANY of the docs and
locked up entirely. The things I had done previously were expendable
so I
decided to uninstall and reinstall. That does not work. The
"rebuilding"
panel is not responding to closing with an X, - or resize. Likewise,
the
larger window does not respond. All I can do is go back and work on
other
pages, mail, facebook, etc. I thought closing all open windows and
restarting would help but that did not work either. What can I do to
get
past this logjam? Thanks, Rod Christ 563/258-1849 email is
