Please let us know if you are able to execute Apache OpenOffice, what
happened when you open the file from inside OpenOffice.
Did you download OpenOffice from http://www.openoffice.org ?
Please let us know, and this might help us know whats the issue.

When you open a file, the system creates a lock file so that it can't be
opened by any other app at the same time. Then when you close the file,
the system deletes this lock file. When you computer crashed, this lock
file was more than likely left on the drive and now prevents any app
from opening your file. It should be located in the same directory with
the actual file. If you file name is FileName.odt, the the lock file
should be named .~lock.FileName.odt# so if you delete that lock file you
will then be able to open your file.
