I'm not sure I did what you asked. I renamed the folder in which
OpenOffice is located, the that is not the application file that
starts the program. I don't know where to find that, it that's what I
was supposed to rename. Anyway, this didn't work. It seemed to work
for part of a day and then is started freezing again Now I can't even
start it. I'll have to erase it and download a fresh copy.

the profile is not removed at uninstall, since it would affect
updates, too.
rename folder %appdata%\OpenOffice\4 (windows)
If this solves the crashes, would you mind to zip and send me the profile?
I have a theory why this happens, but it would help to have confirmation.

that stops after 5 minutes or so and I can continue and sometimes it
continues for 30 minutes so I have to use Task Manager to “End Task”
and start over. Have others experienced this? I don’t know if the has
been an “improvement” made to OpenOffice that is causing this or it
has been hacked and malware inserted or what. Perhaps I will erase my
copy and import a new one to see if that helps anything.
