Any file locking by applications usually involves files with a .lck
extension. Do a system wide file search and see if any are present. If
there are some, delete them. If the apps need these lock files, they
will be regenerated.
You aren't looking to hear this, but it sounds as if there is a
corrupted file somewhere in W98. Some glitch during installation,
probably. I can't recall ever successfully recovering from this type of
problem by merely re-installing W98 on top of what's already there,
but that's where I would begin. If that doesn't work, based on the
symptoms you're describing, the shortest path to a solution is to
reformat and reload.

How would I be able to tell if I have a locked file or not? And no, I have

I have uninstalled OOo1.1.4 a couple of times and reinstalled the program
all with the same result.
Stumped!

[ MODERATED ] ********************
I have had to reinstall 98SE (ver. 4.10.2222A) in one of my machines,
during the process I installed OO 1.1.4, it seems the program installed
correctly. But when I attempt to open any function of Open Office the
'system hourglass' starts for about 10 sec. then it disappears and the
program has not opened. I have also downloaded the most current Java RE
required.
Checked the task manager, which states it is thinking about it but
nothing.
Can anyone tell me what I am missing. This is the same issue on my last
2
rebuilds.
Is it possible that you have a lock file preventing OOo restarting ?
