When I click on the OpenOffice icon, I see the OpenOffice.org process in the Activity Monitor for about one second.  Then I see the Crash Reporter with the "OpenOffice.org quit unexpectedly" message.  Here are the details and system configuration:

Thread 1:

I am running this on a MacBook Pro with 2 GB of memory.

I have used OpenOffice for several years and upgraded several times.  I have never had a problem like this before.  My "solution" is to go back to 3.2.1.  But it has a JRE problem.  So I would appreciate any help you can give me.  Thank you.
