[users] Re: OOo 2 fails to launch when other instances open

[Paul B.]

Something is still screwed up. I was able to open files with no 
problem through the menu, but couldn't close the last one to shut 
the computer down (clicking anywhere on the application brought 
the error sound). And though I only had one instance open, in 
Task Manager two instances of both swriter.exe and switer.bin 
existed, leading me to think that the previous instance had not 
shut down properly.

Somehow instance control is weak in the 2 series.

That's generally a bad idea. In the first instance, either hit
File-Open, or File-New-Writer Document. Do not try to open another
instance. I've had the same problem and this was the only way to do
it.

Sometimes I'll see the attempts registered as extra instances of 
swriter
in Task Manager, sometimes not.

The only way to open the desired file is to first close the open 
instances.

I need to add that when closing the existing instances, very
often the password dialog from the new instance is hung up
invisibly, and the old instances can't be closed, or Moved, or
anything. The only way to kill them is via Task Manager.
