This may or may not help, as I am running OpenOffice on a Linux machine; however, I did have that same problem.
First thing for me was to make sure that I had purged my system of any competing application (notably, LibreOffice). I am uncertain how to go about this on your machine, as I haven't used other systems in a very long time. Also, it might not matter so much with a different system. Most Linux systems install LibreOffice by default, and moreover keep trying to uninstall OpenOffice and to install LibreOffice instead. So that part may or may not apply to your situation, but it's worth considering. Second is the actual trick that I used to get OpenOffice to run without crashing. After trying to start OpenOffice by clicking to open, and by trying to open various office documents with OpenOffice, it occurred to me to try a plain text document (that is, with the extension .txt). I just clicked on the plain text document, and used the "open with" dialog, then chose OpenOffice, and bingo! it worked. It's been running without a hitch ever since.
