From: "Robert Y. Sandford" To: "l...@openoffice.apache.org" Cc: Bcc: Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2022 08:42:02 -0500 Subject: ASCII bug attack? Apache people, I am not sure I have the right address on this email. If it should go somewhere else, kindly forward it to the right people. I am very distressed as I have lost a file which was not backed up - my fault. I have been using your Open Office for approximately 10 years with NO problems. *The Problem:* A week ago, as I started to update a book journal I keep, I tried to open the file. Rather than the file showing up, An ASCII page appeared with several options to choose from. I closed the file and tried to open the book file again. Again, the ASCII page opened up. Not knowing what I was doing and thinking wrongly that I could click on one of the options and then "not save" it and return to the original file, I clicked on one of the options - the first one I think.' Well, the English was translated to something like all X's, and I was never able to get back to my file. What is going on? If I send you the messed up file, can one of your experts get it back? The other files do not seem to have been infected. I have never even heard of ASCII files before this happened. Please help and acknowledge this email.

Re: Flying Cat broke Open Office 4.1.13 Installation Wizard
Top posting: The quick solution may be to start TaskManager (Ctrl Shift Esc) and kill all soffice.bin processes shown on TaskManager's tabs. Doing that will kill all instances of OpenOffice which may be preventing a reintall. Then reinstall OpenOffice. Provided you have downloaded an OpenOffice installation file from https://www.openoffice.org/download/ (as redirected by it to SourceForge) you may safely disregard any security warnings.

Flying Cat broke Open Office 4.1.13 Installation Wizard
I have Windows 10 and Firefox 108.0.1 (64 bit.) I have my computer set not to update for 7 days and the 7 days aren't up yet. I was planning to close everything and reboot it, when I have time for that. I was happily browsing and making notes. Suddenly the screen went black! The computer restarted and informed me that it was performing updates, don't turn off my computer. I let it do it's thing. I was just reopening updated Open Office (but it wasn't showing any of my documents) when a black and white cat jumped on top of the desktop box, and the screen went black, again. I got up and looked at the desktop. It seems the cat(s) had been using the power plug as a step. It was partially unplugged. I plugged the power plug back in and hit the power button. Everything else looks fine, (Bless the notepad++ developer who just "1. Fix empty session issue due to forced Windows update restart.) Except, I'm getting an error from Open Office. It won't open! Error: [Open Office 4.1.13 Installation Wizard Please exit OpenOffice 4.1.13 and the OpenOffice 4.1.13 Quickstarter before you continue. If you are using a multi-user system, also make sure that no other user has Open Office 4.1.13 open.] [OK] I looked up how to deal with this Error in the Forum. https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?t=107930 Re: Can't reinstall on Windows 10 by Hagar Delest Sat Dec 17, 2022 jilionaski wrote: ↑Fri Dec 16, 2022 6:58 pm 'It might help you to reinstall Windows from System Settings.
