Problems

It's happened several times before but I don't remember how I  corrected it.
 
In My Documents folder where I store EVERYTHING I can't open ALL of  my 
files but a very few will open when I click on them.
??? Should I uninstall and reinstall?  Do you have a  solution?

I'm frustrated too with the lack of information.
You should at least tell us your OS and version, the version of OpenOffice.
Further it could be helpful if you tell us what you did before this was happening, I guess that you installed an other Application that overwrites  the defaults in your OS.

You should start by deleting or renaming your OpenOffice user profile. As you are using Windows do this by:
Close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter. Open File Explorer. Copy and paste %appdata%\OpenOffice\4 in the File Explorer Address Bar and press Enter. Rename the "user" folder. Start OpenOffice.

Doing this restores the configuration of OpenOffice to a known state.  Reinstallation does not generate a new user profile.
