Perhaps this will help: <http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_TO/misc/Troubleshooting_guide.html#7.General%20error%20or%20General%20input/output%20error%20|outline> <quote - I've snipped the Unix parts as I see you are running windows> 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 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. 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 Note: To be absolutely safe, one could also delete the local settings directory. By doing this, however, all personal settings and customizations could be lost. </quote> So, easy translation: On a Windows computer, copy the files script.xlc and dialog.xlc from C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.3\presets\basic to C:\Documents and Settings\<yourusername>\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\user\basic replacing the old script.xlc and dialog.xlc files that were there.
