As a computer illiterate, I painfully tried to follow Hagar's suggestion to reset the user
profile (I have Windows XP) and got into Folder Options and then File Types where there were
a lot of OpenOffice.org 1.1 Configuration Files, each with a different extension, usually of
the form S** or X**. No sign of anything saying Path. Should these be deleted? If so,
which ones?

Obviously you misread the instructions. I excerpted the specific ones for
Windows XP.
1. First close OpenOffice, including the Quickstarter (blue seagulls icon in system tray) if
activated.
NB: make sure that there is no soffice.bin process in the task manager
(Ctrl+Shift+Esc
under Windows). Kill them if needed.
2. Open your file browser and display the hidden files and folders.
Windows: open Windows Explorer. Click Organize>Folder and Search Options or
Tools>Folder
Options (depending on Windows version). Click the View Tab and check the
radio button Show
hidden files, folders and drive. Click OK (screenshot in this post).
3. Rename the \user folder to \user.old for example. This way, you still keep a backup of your
configuration.
Location of \user folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\OpenOffice.org\3\user
<user name> is your operating system login name (your identification when
you start a
session on your computer). Don't look for a 'user name' folder.
4. Restart OpenOffice, it will create a new profile (a new \user folder is
created).
