At times, when double clicking on the desktop shortcut, or even directly on the application in the program files, open office fails to open. There is no message given. When I restart the computer, it will usually open then but may fail to open later on in the same session. Do you have an idea as to what may be causing this and if it can be fixed? Thanks.
If you are using a windows machine then probably the soffice.bin has not closed probably from the last session. Use the taskmaster to see if this process is still active, and if it is then kill it. OpenOffice.org should open normally the next time you try to launch it.

PS -- "taskmaster" = Task Manager (via Ctrl-Alt-Del), Processes tab. Find and end any soffice.bin process, which is easiest to do from a list sorted in alpha order. There may be soffice.exe and other OOo processes, but they should all close when the soffice.bin is gone.
