Now, I have re installed the latest version 3.1 yesterday. There was so many problems in installation. But however, I have managed the same. at the end the openoffice startup it does not come up. trying indefinitely the recovery of a file namely untitled file. The screen shots are saved in my desktop if necessary i will attach it. I am using Fedora Core 10 in an Intel machine. Kindly help me. Rasheed

Created attachment 62228 [details] it again shows the recovery and thereafter it repeats the startup logo with progress bar and continues
Do you use the vanilla OOo 3.1 or the FC distributed one? Where have you downloaded OOo from? Have you tried to remove/rename the folder with the user settings: .openoffice.org in your $HOME? Have you tried to cancel the recovery (see screenshot3)?
I used the vanilla OOo3.1. There was a 3.0 version of OO which had a problem -- it will not show up the REPLACE tab in the Autocorrect dialogue window....... So, i have downloaded the 3.1 directly from the download site and installed. I have not tried to rename or remove the user settings.... to be frank .. I do not know. I have tried to cancel the autorecovery. But ..... it repeats the same. and that excatly the problem........ Rasheed
No one has ever confirmed your issue. So it's not a general OOo problem. Your profile folder is named .openoffice. Open a shell and cd to your home directory and remove your settings folder('rm -rf .openoffice.org'). Restart the office.
Ok Thank God, It solved my problem. But my previous autocorrect details lost....... Ok then..... Rasheed
so closing
