Start OOo from the command line with the parameter "-norestore" So,
soffice -norestore
Also, take a look at this link. The information is old, so I do not know
if it still applies:

I am not able to concentrate on lenghty instructions for medical reasons.
Every time I open the program to maintain a document I get a recovery
screen on which I am unable to start recovery because the button isn't
visible and refuses be moved onto the screen. Openoffice is now
unusable. I have deleted the document converned and reloaded open
office to no avail. Openoffice has to be cancelled to continue with
anything else. Can you help? Link me to the answerl?p.
I have tried your help pages but find them huge and totally confusing.
