I have installed open office on a dell latitude c600 laptop running windows 98. when i try to open an oo program, it hangs and never opens. i have tried several different versions and configurations for my video drive, but still no luck. i booted in to safe mode and was able to open the oo programs. my video driver is ATI Rage Mobility 128 AGP 2X. Any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Dean Warfield
Dean:
Take a look at updating your video display driver to the most current version. It is the one to which OOo is most sensitive. While you're doing that, there are newer drivers available from Dell for several other subsystems, including the BIOS. You might as well make a day of it. Also, how much physical RAM is installed? It's inexpensive to max that out, too.
I have a C600 on which I have installed and run many versions of OOo without difficulty. The video driver is a common fix on many different computers for the problem you describe. The rest of them just make me feel like I'm putting my laptom on steroids. ;-)
