Re: false "recover files" messages
Thanks, Terry. I'll try to figure out how to try this.

May be: In the User directory is a folder crashdata. Delete the content
of it.
Don't forget to terminate OOo and quickstarter.

There seem to be some bug reports:
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=file%20recovery;list_id=7414
I've seen too many problems reported to trust it but most people do.

You could try a fresh profile. Rename the existing one so that you can reinstate it if that doesn't fix the problem.
It's late here but searching the web turns up some answers, e.g.: https://duckduckgo.com/?kh=1&kl=se-sv&kp=-1&q=OpenOffice+%22runtime+error%22
You can search for answers on a particular domain and one you could try is user.services.openoffice.org You could also quote the line "This application has requested the runtime to terminate in an unusual way"

What version of Windows are you using? If Windows 7, either uninstall Internet Explorer 9 (even if not used!) or do a repair installation of OpenOffice and select _not_ to automatically check for updates. If Vista, ditto for IE9 (IE8 is reinstalled automagically). If those suggestions bring no improvement, I'd uninstall OOo (Revo Uninstaller at most aggressive settings is normally recommended on the Forum), reboot the computer, and now reinstall OOo. Some automatic backup utilities can cause problems - I remember reports of Comodo, for example - if they touch the OOo files while open.
If uninstalling, do please ensure that your files are well backed up, and in directories not part of the OOo structure, which they should never be anyway.
There are reported peculiarities attaching to opening an OOo file from its icon, rather than the long way. Such peculiarities include undefined language, I think; I can't remember what the others were.
I'm off the air now - going to do Saturday things.

Thanks Rory and Terry, et al..
Maybe I spoke too soon. I did encountered another strange problem when I
opened an existing Writer file. Off and on I get this error message.
"Runtime Error!
"Program: C\ProgramFile\OpenOffice\soffice.bin
"This application has requested the runtime to terminate in an unusual way."
(When I click 'OK' on the Error message,or close the message box, Open
Office quits. )
After a few more tries. OO.o writer opens an "untitled" file instead of the
existing file that I wanted, followed by it also (finally) opening the
existing file that I originally chose. This happens only when I open a file
from my Library, not when I open OpenOffice and go through the splash page.
)
(BTW - I've used Open office for nearly three years prior to this and never
had a problem. These problems turned up after an automatic update to 3.3.
I uninstalled it and downloaded a new copy of 3.1 but I still keep getting
all these errors. What's up with that? Thanks.

Your remark on downloading "Weather Bug" leads me to suspect that you may have been downloading from some third party source; a "genuine" OpenOffice includes no such add-ons or rogue toolbars. On User Forum we always advise only to download from the link on www.openoffice.org or as redirected by its loadsharing. Before installing a download of OpenOffice it can be useful to check file integrity by the MD5Sum process. See http://www.openoffice.org/download/md5sums/index.html for details.
The (2) in the filename you quote above indicates that this is the third copy of a file with that name on your computer. Probably you do not need another download. I suggest you try the MD5Sum process; if the checksum matches one or other copy of the file, then install from that.

Re: false "recover files" messages
Posted by Umberto Tosi <um...@gmail.com>.
Okay. Latest installment in the saga of the false recovery files. I
downloaded and installed Revo Uninstaller (free trial version).
It works very well, thank you.
I couldn't quite follow what you said about uninstalling only the profile
and customzing it...
But I did backup my files and used Revo to uninstall OO.o 3.1 as you
suggested. That worked fine.
Then I went to OO.o online and clicked to download the office suite 3.3
(also as you suggested. )
I've downloaded OO.o a couple of times and never had a problem.
BUT this time, the download and installation failed twice!
The first time it only downloaded the "Weather Bug" which I really didn't
need, but apparently was bundled with OO.o.
The second time (and third) I went back to OpenOffice.org and tried again.
Both times the exe downloaded for a good hour and at the end I get this
error message:
*"C:\Users\Owner\Downloads\OOo_3.3.0_Win_x86_install-wJRE_en-US(2).exe
could not be saved, because the source file could not be read...."
*
What's up with that!
I never had such a problem with OO.o or any open source software,
frankly!!!
(Now I have no Open Office!)
Please advise. Thanks.
(BTW- I was able to get rid of a pesky app in the process that Windows
uninstaller didn't phase.)

Re: false "recover files" messages

It sounds as though you did not completely uninstall the software before reinstalling. Evidently there is an 'uninstaller' which can help: http://www.revouninstaller.com/ I don't use Windows but the uninstaller is mentioned in this post:
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=29962#p136637
A search turned up this also: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?p=136637
Don't delete your old profile. Rename it. You can transfer parts of the old profile to the new one. In any case, it may not be the profile so try cleaning your system of the software completely and do a fresh install of the version of your choice. I suggest 3.3. Version 3.4 is close to release.

Re: false "recover files" messages
Posted by Umberto Tosi <um...@gmail.com>.
Thanks again to both of you - Rory and Terry.
Sounds like either of your suggestions would be excellent.
For me , however, it's not a question of what's easier or quicker, or more
elegant, but of finding a fix that I can make without botching it..
I'm pretty good for a civilian, but I don't think I'm skilled enough to
customize OO.o files in the way you describe.
Given that, I'm inclined to simply delete the profile (if I can find it the
way I did the 'recovery' file.)
I'm a writer and swriter is my main interest. As such, I don't want lose
the OED dictionary when I delete the profile.
That gets us back to customization...
I haven't a clue how to select and save an OED dictionary and then
re-install it. Wouldn't that mean I'd have to customize the profile instead
of scrapping it?
I'm sorry to take so much time with this. I really appreciate your help and
realize you must have better things to do.
Still -- I'm learning a lot! So thanks again.
Kindest regards, Umberto

I think it depends on the level of expertise of the user in
difficulties. It may take considerably more time to write a
posting to guide an inexperienced user through complex steps than
to give him a quick fix. Many of the Forum volunteers, of whioch
I am one, contribute their time on a pro bono basis; any time we
contribute to helping cure User problems is taken from other
tasks. If you feel it is lazy to offer a quick soluion, perhaps
you should contribute the detailed fault finding you think
should be offered.

Personally, I think that remedy is recommended far too freely and is done so out of laziness. It is time-consuming to rebuild a settings folder (aka profile folder). Often there is a simpler fix.

In terms of Advanced or normal searching, as a long time computer user (probably with many bad habits as a result) I would only ever search for all files, including hidden and system files, so might not think to specify that an advanced search was necessary. As far as I know, the recovery mechanism has changed between OOo 3.1 and 3.3; in any event a bug, if it be such, in such old releases is unlikely to be serviced. Why the file does not sometimes deleted when the recovery is accepted or declined is undetermined; it may be due to some form of user error.
Normally such an error message is cured by deleteing or renaming the User Profile, which seems to cure a large proportion of OOo peculiarities. In the case of the advanced user of OOo, renaming the profile may theoretically be best, as this allows the individual customisation files to be brought forward individually to preserve customisation such as special templates and dictionaries. To be honest, the only customisation I worry about as a Writer user is the dictionaries; I have the OED dictionary preserved in a download directory and can easily reinstall it; other dictionaries are usually personal names, which vary from project to project, and these dictionaries are easily rebuilt on need, so I'd simply zap the Profile.
May I recommend that you check the User Forum at http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum if you have further problems, be they configuration (as this one) or usage. To search the Forum it is not necessary to register, although this must be done (as an anti spam measure) if you wish to post a specific query.

It worked. My OO.o now is rogue-recovery function free! I'm able to open
Open Office flawlessly --- via splash page or from an individual file.
I followed Rory's suggestion and found the offending recovery.xcu file
and deleted, though I had to go to the "more search options," because, like
you predicted, a straight search didn't find it.
Thanks to all for you help.
Is this problem due to a bug in Open Office?
Should it be reported as such? Thanks again!

Only a small number of sub folders is mentioned in Tools > Options. Search the entire folder. See Rory's later post about the file name in an older version of the software. My comments related to v.3.3 in which the file apparently is placed in the root folder. I can't check my system because I don't use the 'recovery' tool.

If you are using OOo 3.1, the file you need is called recovery.xcu. With OpenOffice closed, from Start button do a Search for all files for that filename, using search for hidden files option (just in case!) and searching subfolders. Then delete that file when found.
