More specifically: if anyone could point me in the right direction preference-wise, I would appreciate it very much. The fact that OOo runs properly when logged in as other accounts to my own makes me think of some problem account-specific. Problem is, there is nothing relating to OOo in the usual Preferences directory, and the /user dir of OOo1.1.1 does not seem to contain any account specific files: all files are the same for all users. (gasp)
Thanks again for your time. I much appreciate your efforts and spirit of volunteering.

UPDATE
I am able to run OOo1.1.1 from other accounts on the same powerbook. It's only in my account that I am experiencing the difficulties (i.e. not opening and not saving files).
It was while logged in my own account (the one with the problem) that yesterday I completely ran out of hard disk space (!) and had to quit a number of apps (including OOo) without the luxury of writing data on the HD (a bit of a crash-landing for a number of apps). Could it be that the problems I now have are the result of that? How could I cure the problem?
I did a search for the files that OOo complains about not being able to load their BASIC (whatever this means) and the two .xli files (script.xli and dialogs.xli) don't exist anywhere! What exactly is going on? if anyone knows, that is.
Thanks, people.

I had a Disk Full warning yesterday (it had come down to 0kB !!!) and had to close a lot of apps on my MacOS X without saving properly (...), OpenOffice1.1.1 being one of them.
Since that time, every time I start OOo (BTW I now have around 1GB free on my HD) and try to open a document, it reports that 'An unrecoverable error has occured. All modified files have been saved and can probably be recovered at program restart. [OK]". Sometimes the document has already opened and is showing in the main window before this message comes up and OOo quits when OK is pressed.
I tried to make a new document as opposed to opening an existing one, and upon saving it I got the following message 3 times:
"Error loading BASIC of document file:///Users/alex/.OpenOffice.org1.1.1/user/basic/script.xlc/: General Error. General input/output error. [OK]"
then
"Error loading BASIC of document file:///Users/alex/.OpenOffice.org1.1.1/user/basic/script.xli/: General Error. General input/output error. [OK]"
then
"Error loading BASIC of document file:///Users/alex/.OpenOffice.org1.1.1/user/basic/dialog.xlc/: General Error. General input/output error. [OK]"
then
"Error loading BASIC of document file:///Users/alex/.OpenOffice.org1.1.1/user/basic/dialogs.xli/: General Error. General input/output error. [OK]"
Then it finishes saving (the progress bar at the bottom fills, then all seems OK. Then I attempt to load the newly created and saved document, which opens and shows in the main window, together with the initial message mentioned at the top of this post, "An unrecoverable error has occured. All modified files have been saved and can probably be recovered at program restart. [OK]"
Then it quits.
Obviously something got corrupted during yesterday's mess with no free disk space, so would anyone help by pointing me in the right direction?
Thanks, people.
