Is there anyway that I can solve these problems with my RAM and Open Office WITHOUT paying money for random disks? I have NO MONEY to spend running around buying various disk tests and updates. I usually have Windows Media Player 10 running when using OO and sometimes other different things, like WordWeb, a dictionary, and whatever else. But my computer runs just fine, other than what I think is a bad processor or something. It always gets 'confused' and spends alot of time 'thinking.' But I cant use Memtest86 to test my RAM because I dont have the money.

Do you use many other programs on your computer ? Do any of them show problems ? I'm trying to guess, but it may be that some of the RAM (not the disk space you mention above), or the display diver may be working incorrectly. I think that it may be problems with these that causes OpenOffice.org to crash. To verify that your RAM works correctly you can get a program called Memtest86 http://www.google.com/search?q=memtest86 You may also want to make sure that you have the most recent updates installed for your video driver and all the updates for XP.
