Thank you so much for your reply. This is getting stranger by the minute ... at least to me. Perhaps the answer lies here somewhere.

It does not matter whether Quickstart is running or not.

If Calc is open and I File/Open any text document (.odt or .doc ....) Writer open quickly and flawlessly.

If I start Writer ... and wait until it locks up, THEN start Calc; Calc will open perfectly and then Writer will finish opening!!

If I open Calc - then close it Writer will then open perfectly

Something here has had some effect though. Writer did open properly a few times without loading Calc first... but it is now back to it's old tricks after a few restarts.

Hopefully this info will help ... Thanks to all

Mike

To all,
I have checked the md5sum and it matches perfectly.
Here is a screen shot of my desktop almost 5 minutes after trying to
start OO Writer

All other modules working great ... I am totally stumped

What happens if you open, say, Calc first, and while it is open, do File|New|Text Document from Calc?
Does the problem seem to depend on whether Quickstarter is running or not?
