When you uninstall the old version, MAKE SURE
you delete the folders and files in the Programs
folder for OpenOffice.org. The problem seems to be
almost like one I had. OOo sets up a personalized
user file(s) with your document preferences in it.
You MUST get rid of those files to correct problems
with printer preferences, document preferences, and
other things.
If you reinstall OOo and you DO NOT see the screen
that asks for personal information, like your name,
then you do not get all the personalized preference
files deleted.
ALSO go to the following menu
Tools > Options > Load/Save > General
Check
"Always Create a backup copy"
"Save AutoRecovery information every" -
choose a low number - 2-3 minutes
There are other options in the you might want to
look at that could make using OOo easier. Look
through all the options in the Tools > Options
section to get things the way you want. This
is the information that is stored in the file(s)
you must delete before you reinstall OOo. Sometimes
something messes with this file and causes many types
of weird errors.

A very strange error. I fear it may be your computer failing.
I will suggest to you three things:
1. Reinstall OOo with latest version. Perhaps it may fix. Probably not.
2. Run disk repair utility for your OS.
3. Try other programs to see if they also have this error. Find if
it's your computer.
Think of changes you made in the last 2 weeks. Did you update
software? Did you change settings for disk? Did you get new hardware?
Something must have caused this sudden change.
I hope you can find the problem. Good luck!

Goodday sir/lady,
My English is not so good. So I hope I can make myself understandable.
Using Open Office since about 3 years now.
I was very glad with the possibilities.
But since about 7 or 14 days I have a big problem now in saving
textdocuments.
The problem does not happen every time I save a document.
1
For example the last problem:
I have opened a document, insert text which I had copied from my
sent email.
I could save normally.
One hour later I inserted in the same document email text, by saving
the
document I got the message (in Dutch) that there was an input/output
failure. After recovering the document was empty.

Yesterday I inserted one letter in a document and by saving I got the
message "failure by saving".
I have lost now 4 documents with for me important personal
information.
Can you please help me to repair the problem.
Thank you and greetings
Wim
