Every time I boot my machine and then start OpenOffice.org, I get an

I didn't have this before. It started somewhere around my upgrade to
2.0.3, I think. But this may be unrelated.

My configuration:
- Windows 2000 Pro (English)
- OpenOffice.org 2.0.3 (English)
- My "My Documents" folder is on a network share and made available offline

Any suggestions?

if I understand correctly, this message keeps popping up, with every start of OOo?! OOo checks for a running instance by looking for a .lock file in the user preferences (~/.openoffice.org2/user/) directory. You may want to look if such a file exists and why it can not be replaced.

There exists a bug inside OOo 2.0.3 regarding this lock file.
Normaly it's removed on closing OOo. So next start of an office
does not show this message. But if you dont close the office but logout from e.g. windows .... these lock files inst removed successfully.
So you will get this message on next time you start the office.

Workaround: Please shutdown the officer (even the quickstart module) before you logout from windows ... or ignore this message even it cames up .-) Because if you know that there is only one office instance running this message box means nothing dangerous.



Regards,
Hope that helps
