Hmm, you can't even end the task or program with Task Manager? If so, I suspect something isn't playing nice with your OS. Perhaps an uninstall/reinstall of OO.o would help the most quiickly if you actually must kill power to get out of it; that can create myriad problems in and of itself, in fact, and done multiple things can cause a lot of damage you're not aware of until later on when you hit the right code. Save any files you created that are in the OO.o file structure because to uninstall/reinstall you really should also delete the folders it used so they can be created again from scratch. Is this something new that just started to happen and originally it worked OK? If it was a sudden appearance, what hardware/software have you installed, removed or tweaked at the time the problem happened? Did you remove or displace any malware at that time? If it never worked, then perhaps you want to put your backup of the OS onto DVD for safety before you crunch it too much. Also back up the problem OS date too. Lets you get back to either one that way. Are you certain you are free of malware? Firewall? Updated and ran AV? Spyware scanners? Etc.? Long shot, but it eliminates a lot of possibilities. Tried chkdsk /f? You really need to provide many more details. You never even mentioned your OS, version, Calc version, and so on and on. Details, man, details.
