I had this problem constantly. It turns out that when I launched it the first time and went through the initial questions I told it to migrate my settings from 2.4.1. It did so but, unknown to me, there were some extensions in 2.4.1 that were messed up. If this turns out to be the source of your problem, then the first thing to do is to fix 2.4.1 - assuming it is still installed or that you at least still have the ~/.openoffice.org2 configuration file. If all you have is the config file, you can go in and manually just rename the folder containing the old extensions. If you still have it installed you can go into Tools > Extensions Manager and uninstall them all. Then rename the new ~/.openoffice.org folder (they should have named it openoffice.org3 instead of dropping the number altogether). That will force OOo 3.0 to go through the startup windows again and, this time, when it migrates your settings from 2.4.1, it won't migrate any of 2.4.1's extensions. You can easily reinstall them in 3.0 later. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
