Description jmills 2001-10-22 05:46:22 UTC 
THis may be in the wrong category

The quick starters, if you type Ctrl/Alt/Del is running
with its entry in the task list displayed as

Soffice (Not responding)

Normally this would be a bad sign in a system and the
process should be killed off.

However the quick starter is alive and well and responding to
mouse clicks in the system tray ...

Killing the soffice process does result in the system tray
icon vanished (when the mouse cursor is positioned over the icon)

Hello Olaf, this one is for you.

Hi Jonathan,
I can't reproduce your problem: tested with 638c on WinME and 98SE and 
I've had no problem with the quickstarter. OOo is running and the
quickstarter is working, Ctrl/Alt/Del shows no problem.
Is OOo running?

Works for me.

I have the same phenomenon, but for me it has side effects.  I'm using Windows 
98SE 4.10.2222A and Open Office 2.0.  I generally discover the event when I've 
been using the Word Processor (the only component I use frequently) and have 
closed the WP.  Some other application(s), usually Internet Explorer or the 
Connect process for same, freezes or keeps timing out and retrying.  Then I hit 
Ctrl-Alt-Del and find "Soffice (Not responding)", click "End Task", get a "Not 
Responding" dialog box, click the "End Task" button on that one, and then the 
frozen application(s) start working again.  My conjecture is that Windows tries 
to free the memory allocated to SOffice and gets no response.  I have 224 MB 
RAM on this system.
