Hi all, just needed to open an important document, and OOo freaked out on me. It just would not start any more. Here's what I did to remedy: 0. Restart X. - no change 1. Reboot (okay.....MS style, kinda infected there ;-) - no change 2. Reinstalled OOo from CD -no change 3. Removed my .kde and .kde2 profiles and started fresh. -no change 4. Installed Star Office 6.1 beta - same problem 5. Opened another user - same problem 6. Ran strace on it , it showed no particular reason to get stuck, it just stuck. They just stick there with the title on the screen ( particularly nice ) and that is the end of that. Any ideas ? Regards Dan - buddha 2.4.20-4GB 4:21pm up 1:03, 5 users,

As regular user, erase your profile, then run setup again rm -rf ~/OpenOffice.org* /opt/OpenOffice.org/setup

You might also move, delete or rename your config file in the user's directory for the office programs. It is .sversionrc file and this file is not in your OO directory. Pat -- --- KMail v1.5.3-3 --- SuSE Linux Pro v8.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 On any other day, that might seem strange...
