Hi

This happens with every file I try. If I open a new document and try to change
the page orientation, it crashes. If I open any existing document and try to
change to orientation, it crashes.

LO is installed in the location set by the installer utility, namely in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice4.

To try to resolve the problem I updated using the menu Help>Check for Updates.
That gave me the current version I am using that still has the problem. 

I renamed the file registrymodifications.xcu as suggested in the linked
document to registrymodifications.xcu.old  but with no change in behaviour. 

I have now uninstalled version 4.4.x and installed a fresh download of version
5.0.3.2 and I’m pleased to say that the problem appears to have been resolved. 

I wonder why the update process in the previous version installed did not offer
a version 5.x, only a version 4.x?  It is also worth noting that uninstalling
the old version using the Programs and Features utility provided by Microsoft
did not fully uninstall the software! It left everything in the install
directory instead of deleting that and the registry entries. Perhaps there is a
need/benefit from having your own uninstaller that does a complete removal of
the program and all the associated files and entries?

Thanks for your help.

Then that should be examined as users will always think that an Update will
take them to the latest released version and not restrict them to an older,
earlier version merely because it is in the same 'branch'.

When I worked as a documentation author for a major EDA software house, Update
always gave the user the very latest released version and that is what people
have traditionally expected. So why is LO different?

Thank you for your feedback.
For the moment, automatic LO update proposes only LO versions from same branch.
Eg: 4.4.1 would propose 4.4.2
4.4.3 would propose 4.4.4, etc.

5.0.0 would propose 5.0.1...

In these examples, there are 2 branches: 4.4 and 5.0

1) Do you reproduce this on a brand new file?
2) Have you tried to rename your LO directory profile and give a new try? (see
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#Windows)
3) Could you give a try to last stable LO version 5.0.3?
