Friends -
Sorry to bother; I have no technical background so your help pages on the
web aren't helpful.
I've been running OpenOffice without incident on XP for over a year, but
it suddenly decided it won't open existing files, neither those from OO nor
MS. If I create a new document or spreadsheet it functions the same as an
older file: Whether clicking on the file icon or "Open a document" from
the main menu, OO loads slowly, struggles with the file, then flashes back to
my MS "desktop." When the problem first appeared I copied the files to a
portable hard drive, where they work fine on a different computer using OO.
I occasionally get an error message citing Soffice.bin as the issue.
Soffice.bin is also named as a file that won't close when I shut down the
machine.
I've done the uninstall/install routine three times for OO, and twice for
JAVA. In laymen's terms, how do I "fix" OO?
Thanks in advance for your help and patience.
