I installed AOO 3.4 on my Vista-64 with the same problems, made the changes
you suggested with success. I then decided to try something; I changed the
Quickstart Icon's start location (in the Icons information) to the SOFFICE
exe file and everything seems to run fine at this moment. Hope this could be
a quick and easy fix.

Subject: Re: Problem with 3.4
Renaming the profile is probably what's needed, but for someone with
"limited computer knowledge" a different kind of help is needed. That
website is fine for me, but would be Greek to many others I know.
Reinstalling doesn't help because that doesn't replace the profile.
Perhaps this explanation will work better:
Open Windows Explorer, and under [Computer] open the [C] drive.
(You 'open' drives and folders by double-clicking on them.)
If you're using Windows XP:
Then open the [Documents and Settings] folder,
then the folder whose name is your user-name
then [Application Data],
then [OpenOffice.org],
then [3].
Now you'll see the [user] folder.
Right-click on it and change it's name to "user.old".
If you're using Vista or Windows 7:
Open the [Users] folder,
then [Owner] (or your user name),
then [AppData],
then [Roaming],
then [OpenOffice.org],
then [3].
Now you'll see the [user] folder.
Right-click on it and change it's name to "user.old".
Now, re-start OpenOffice.
