My current OpenOffice version is 2.4.
My used language is English, and I use the German version of "Windows

I already had this problems with version 2.3.
This text I get when I save files:
"Error loading BASIC of document
file:///C:Dokumente&20und%20Einstellungen/Der%20Chef/Anwendungsdaten/OpenOffice.org2/user/basic/dialog.xlc/
General Error.
General input/output error."
Can you help me?
I found this at
http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_TO/misc/Troubleshooting_guide.html,
which might be interesting:
=============== begin =============
General error or General input/output error
This error message indicates that the files script.xlc and dialog.xlc
could be missing or corrupted. In UNIX-based environments, look for them
in the directory
$HOME/.openoffice.org<release>/user/basic
or, in Windows ®:
C:\Document and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\OpenOffice.org<release>\user\basic
To fix the problem, exit OpenOffice.org (including the Quickstarter, if
it is running) and copy the files as detailed below.
In UNIX-based environments, copy from the directory
<where_OOo_is_installed>/presets/basic/
to
$HOME/.openoffice.org<release>/user/basic
On a Windows® computer, copy from
C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org<release>\presets\basic
to
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\OpenOffice.org<release>\user\basic
=========== end =========
Note that I think the path "C:\Document and
Settings\<username>\Application Data\OpenOffice.org<release>\user\basic"
cited is the exact translation into English of the German path you
mentioned.
I also found the appended conversation. It seems one or more of the
directories in which OpenOffice is installed do not have the correct
permissions. Note that the user seeing th error message is running Linux
but the error message is identical to what you see.
I found this conversation at
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=16825
========= begin e-mail conversation =========
I wish to prevent users from altering their OOo directories
(~/.openoffice.org2) and from saving files in them.
To that end, I supply a user with a ready-made '~/.openoffice.org2',
and disallow any write-access to it and its contents.
A problem occures when I edit a file (.odt, .ods), save it, and then
exit OOo: After exiting I get the following pop-up dialog:
'Error saving the document:
user-home-dir/.openoffice.org2/user/basic/script.xlc/
General Error.
Genereal input/output error.'
When I press 'OK', it repeats, only with 'dialog.xlc' instead of
'script.xlc'.
Apparently, OOo tries to replace those two files with something of
its own making, so placing ready-made files is not an option.
Does anyone know of a way to go around this, either by means of
configuring the already-installed OOo, or by means of altering the
source-code/installation process?
ATM it is not possible to run OOo without write access to its user
profile without getting runtime errors that at least cause an error
message. I even wouldn't exclude crashes.============= end
