Description ericread 2009-03-02 08:24:53 UTC
Starting either writer or calc frequently fails.  The OPen Office logo comes up
OK, then the programme flashes up on the screen and instantly disappears.

I hae been using "Ooo 3.0.1 (DE) Multilingual version GERMAN UI WIN XP:
[OOO300m15 (Build 9379)]" for months and can NOT confirm such a general "often
fails to start" problem. 

Pls. repair (or uninstall / reinstall) your OOo, and if the problem remains,
pls. contribute more information (PC, Processor, graphic card ..., OOo
localization, ...

 I am running the English language version. The problem started with OOO 3.0.0.
 I was hoping 3.0.1 would resolve the problem, but it has continued.  I have
tried repairing but to no effect.  Both versions (and all the previous ones I
have used) were downloaded from the OOO website.

I have a Toshiba A110-276 Equium laptop, running XP SP2, Intel T2300 processor.
 The video card is whatever they put in as standard.

Right now I am planning to revert to OOO 2.4
Comment 3 Rainer Bielefeld 2009-03-02 12:32:28 UTC
Did you also try to delete (rename!) your OOo profile?

Any crash report ID available?
Comment 4 ericread 2009-03-02 12:38:26 UTC
What is my OOO profile?

Crash reports were submitted on 20/1, 6/2, 18/2 and today.  I do not have ID for
any of these unless you can tell me where to find them.
Comment 5 Rainer Bielefeld 2009-03-02 12:52:35 UTC
In the crash report dialogue you can mention an e-mail address, to where the
report ID should be sent.

You should report the IDs here!

I do not know the English path name for the profile, in German it's 
<C:\Documents and Settings\MyName\Anwendungsdaten\OpenOffice.org\3\...>

Asking again: Have tried to rename or delete the user configuration data at
"c:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\OpenOffice.org\3"?
