Hi All

You appear to only have 256 MB of RAM. This is very little. If you
only run OpenOffice.org, it should run a lot faster. If you have
several applications running at the same time then it will be very
slow. I would recommend 512 MB as a minimum about of RAM to use Mac
OS X 10.4 without slowdowns as you are explaining below. If you can
afford it upgrade to 768 MB or 1GB, as it will speed up your Mac Mini
considerably.
If you can hear your hard disk reading/writing, then or look in
Activity Monitor's "System Memory" tab and watch how fast the Page
ins/outs goes up. If these numbers are increasing quickly, then you
need more RAM.
d/loaded ooo 2.1 recently. Have used Ooo earlier also (earliest
versions) but then switched to Neo Office. Now using Ooo with X11.
(or rather trying)
Problem: I have a PC too and use Ooo for Win there and have created
an .ods file with some important information. I also saved
that .ods file in .sxc and .xls formats. All these were opening
correctly and properly in Ooo for Win.
However, when I try to open the same in mac... then
a) X11 screen comes up and nothing happens for quite some time
(almost 3 minutes)
b) Ooo comes up with the splash screen (another 2 minutes)
c) by the time Writer opens up, it's almost 7-8 minutes.
d) then I select the .ods file and it tries to open (2 minutes)
e) finally the calc window seems to open (i.e. there is just an
outline that opens, while everything else is blank), and the status
bar shows the progress meter 'blueing out" and just when the blue
bar has almost reached the far right, the whole damn app quits w/o
notice.
The times here seem to show that you have some major problem with
your computer.
Run the Activity Monitor, and see if there are any processes that
takes up lots of processor time.
How much space do you have left on your hard drive?
If you don't have enough, then you will have problems. Several
gigabytes free is best.
I have tested and retested but to no avail
Have you tried restarting?
Have you tried using another user account on your mac?
I still have neooffice loaded, but Ooo page(s) had said that
shouldn't be a problem.
NeoOffice and OpenOffice.org can co-exist no problem.
Tried to trash Ooo prefs but couldnt find them. A finder search,
showed me SEVERAL Ooo folders under the NeoOffice1.1. folder
structure, as well as one standalone Ooo folder.
The openoffice prefs for 2.1 are stored in ~/Library/Application
Support/OpenOffice.org 2.1
HELP. I'd rather use my mac Mini than the PC and Ooo than MS
office. Even neooffice is getting pretty slow.
:-)
BTW, that .ods file has a few charts and lots of numbers and
calculations. So there is nothing heavy in the file.
Once again HELP
