Peter. thank you and all the others who aswered my inquiry. I used 1.1.4 for a while before I removed it prior to installing 1.9.69. 1.1.4 worked well, except that the differences between Impress and MS Office PPT were a bit annoying. Hanging on loading of "quick start" doesn't happen when the "quick start" isn't loaded at boot, and it didn't happen with 1.1.4. There is just one thing besides the "quick start" problem that annoys me about 1.9.69. I cannot click "quick start" to start one of the OO.org applications. This issue apparently has been filed andwe are told it isn't a bug. It is a "feature". According to the Apple II Technical Manual's glossary, "A 'feature' is a bug described by the marketing department." I note that the marketroids removed that "slur" from the Apple IIe TM. With XP, I can, however, right click on any place and I get a menu which I can click to create any of the application. One more click isn't much. I understand that there is a similar thing with Linux (at least on KDE or or is it Gnome? ) Linux is coming soon to a desktop near me. I will search for this bug in the bug list, and if not found, I will file the bug. Monday I will go to the University (100 MB/sec connection) to fetch the install file for 1.9.74 and install that to see what happens. Again many thanks.
