Re: Apache OO program crashes

[Pa...@aol.com]

Thank you very much, Andrea!  The tip in that User Profile 
tutorial seemed to work at first, but then I experienced 
another crash of the AOO program.  At present, it does 
not seem to be as bad as before.  I experience fewer 
program crashes than before.  I wish this could be 
resolved completely.  It's frustrating to be working on 
something and then having to restore the program. I 
still have to re-enter the password, but so far I haven't 
had to do a full reset of the password. 
 
Thank you again, so much, for responding and helping! 
 
Yours very truly, 
Paine

Frequent  crashes are often due to the first of our Known  Issues:
http://www.openoffice
.org/development/releases/3.4.1.html#AOO3.4.1ReleaseNotes-KnownIssues

Apache  OpenOffice 3.4.0 and 3.4.1 manage the user profile differently 
than  previous versions. The old user profile is automatically converted 
so that  users can keep their extensions and settings. In a minority of 
cases,  especially with highly customized profiles (many extensions or  
customizations) the conversion doesn't succeed. Common symptoms are:  
frequent application crashes, problems with dictionaries or thesaurus,  
OpenOffice starting and crashing after a few seconds. To solve this,  
just reset/rename your user profile as explained in the official  
OpenOffice forum.
