Goodmorning, I've installed OO 2.3.0; when I click on a document on my desktop with the rigth button of mouse Windows crash and tell that EXPLORE.EXE was in error. The only possibility is to restart my PC. Sorry for my english. Thaks.
What happens when you click on another icon than one of OpenOffice.org
Nothing; clicking on other icon all is ok. I can obtain the windows menu with open with..., copy, cut, .... Only with files with their extension associated to open office I've this trouble.
Add me in CC I will test in the next time Raphael
I could not replicate the bug with OpenOffice.org 2.3 on a PC with Window XP Media Center Edition 2002 Service Pack 2 with processor speed of 1.58Ghz and 1Gb of RAM. Procedure to Reproduce: 1. Open a new OpenOffice.org Document 2. Save this document into Desktop <File->Save As...> 3. Close document <File->Exit> 4. Right-Click on the document I tested this on each of the OpenOffice.org application and failed to replicate the bug on any of them.
Additional follow-up tests that I tried were: - testing it on my Desktop instead of lap with similar specifications - renaming the files, cutting/copying & pasting them, creating a shortcut to them, before right-clicking - right clicking by mouse, by laptop button - right clicking the file directly from Desktop, Desktop from My Computers, Desktop from Window Explorer - unplugging my laptop and running a large number of applications to use up resources while right-clicking
I think, that's not a bug of OpenOffice.org. I have two ideas, wats happend. 1. Same Folders frome Windows try to make a preview from the file. (mainly my pictures, my movie, and my music) That runs not everytime fine. Windwows can't make a preview from ODF Files. 2. A other software has a problem with OOo Document. Maybe one who make a entry to the right click menu. eg. Security Software. compressing tool (eg. zip) or samething else. In the last half year, I never heared from a similar problem. I think, that's a very specific problem from your Computer. Greetings Raphael
