Numerik: I've just found this that may also work. I realize that it is a bit complicated, but perhaps it will work for you. http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_TO/index.html [Troubleshooting Common Problems] http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_TO/misc/Troubleshooting_guide.html <http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_TO/misc/Troubleshooting_guide.html#8.Recovering%20content%20from%20a%20damaged%20OpenOffice.org%20file%20|outline> <quote> Repeatedly prompted to register Occasionally, after OpenOffice.org is installed and the registration screen acknowledged, subsequent restarts of OpenOffice.org will also request registration. This article assumes that you have responded to the request for registration at least once. One possible reason for the recurring prompt has to do with OpenOffice.org needing to write the response to the registration prompt to a file. If the permissions on that file do not allow the user that OpenOffice.org is running under to modify files in that directory, that change cannot be made. The target file is the common.xcu file. The default location of this file under a UNIX installation (single or multi-user) is $HOME/.openoffice.org<release>/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Common.xcu where $HOME is the user's home directory. With a Windows installation, the file will be in one of the following locations: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\OpenOffice.org<release>\user\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\Common.xcu C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org<release>\<username>\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\Common.xcu C:\Windows\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\user\registry\data\org\openoffice\office\Common.xcu where <username> is an actual user name and <release> is the release of OpenOffice.org. For further information on these directories and why common.xcu would be in one rather than another, please see the section Error Message contains “Get Storage: "No Content"”. If the permissions are set correctly, check inside the file for the following: <node oor:name="Misc"> <prop oor:name="FirstRun" oor:type="xs:boolean"> <value>true</value> </prop> </node> To turn off the prompt for registration, change true to false. Another similar solution involves editing the Setup.xcu file. This file has the following property: <prop oor:name="FirstStartWizardCompleted" oor:type="xs:boolean"> <value>true</value> </prop> which, as seen here, should be set to true. You should be able to find this file as described below. On UNIX-based machines: $HOME/.openoffice.org<release>/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/setup.xcu With a Windows installation the file should be in one of the following directories: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\OpenOffice.org<release>\user\registry\data\org\openoffice\Setup.xcu C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org<release>\<username>\registry\data\org\openoffice\Setup.xcu C:\Windows\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\user\registry\data\org\openoffice\Setup.xcu It is always a good idea to back up files, usually by simply copying them, before editing them. </quote> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
