I'm glad that worked for you. Be aware that after any crash, be it of 
OpenOffice or of the computer while OpenOffice is open, there may be such 
left-over processes.  If, after a crash, OpenOffice does not start up, you may 
need to repeat the TaskManager delete of soffice processes to enable it 
startup.  I strongly advise finding out why your computer crashes and fixing it.

I'm at the end of my day, so am fatigued.  I forgot  to say how to start 
TaskManager - use Ctrl Shift Esc.

Fwd: Open Office 4

[Linda Hull]

I have the same problem but it's not going away.

In Windows 7 and OpenOffice 4.1.1.


My laptop has been shutting itself down due to overheating. I want to open
my OpenOffice files, however - I've clicked on 'open office writer' - and
it gives me the Recovery screen, but it struggles to open things and
freezes. Then I've used Task Manager,  and tried to open it again, three
times now, and it's still locking up, with the white screen.

Got ideas?
