Yes, exactly the same here. The recovery process worked fine every time but the Quickstarter app had crashed, leaving the icon in the system tray. Like with other crashing systray apps, mousing over the icon causes it to disappear. That's normal. I'm glad that part of my whinge turns out to be [probably] a bug. Now onto the rest of it...

Ah. Yes. How dumb do I feel now? As Jean said, the options in the Data menu also light up. > * Do you get a real program abort, or an error message?

Learnt that one already! Yes, as I said above, OOo does jump into its crash recovery procedure - which does a fine job. > All problems welcome.

I may have a go at that. May I just take this opportunity to say what a lovely bunch you all seem to be? I honestly thought I'd get into at least a little bit of trouble for that posting.
