Userid and problem

Hallo,

I have forgotten what I have for my user id. I tried to enter another, 
but the system said that my email address was already registered.

In the meantime, I am having a problem with open office. After computer 
start up, I can't open any of my OOO documents. Looking in the Task 
Manager, there are soffice.bin and soffice.exec running. If I then 
cancel soffice.bin, the documents can be started and all is OK.

The situation is the same with and without preload. And even without 
preload not even trying to open any files those soffice modules are in 
my Task Manager list.

Thanks in anticipation

Tony Morrall

Right click on the file you wish to open, choose Open With and then
find OpenOffice Writer.

Hi James. You've solved my problem. I have windows 10 and I followed your instructions. Under ODT (open document text), Windows was selected. I changed that to open office writer, now everything works fine now. Thank you so much, you gave me a wonderful Christmas present. Have a Merry Christmas and a great new year. Larry

Someone must have installed MS software, hijacking your app
preferences.  You can reset this, but the exact method depends on the
version of Windows you're running.  For example in Windows 10, you go
into PC Settings and select Apps > Default Apps and then click on the
file type, e.g. .doc, and then select the app to use.

Hallo,

I have forgotten what I have for my user id. I tried to enter another,
but the system said that my email address was already registered.

In the meantime, I am having a problem with open office. After computer
start up, I can't open any of my OOO documents. Looking in the Task
Manager, there are soffice.bin and soffice.exec running. If I then
cancel soffice.bin, the documents can be started and all is OK.

The situation is the same with and without preload. And even without
preload not even trying to open any files those soffice modules are in
my Task Manager list.

Thanks in anticipation

Could you inform us about your Operating System and version as well as 
the version of OpenOffice you use?
