Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 2931
Diagrams crashes system
Last modified: 2004-10-15 04:12:30 UTC
I have diagrams made with SO 6 beta. When I open the document with OpenOffice 641 C, the W2K system crashes and I have to reboot the PC.
Not sure why this one is assigned directly to me. Without any extra information I'd guess that they are native starwriter documents and so not a microsoft word import/export problem ? Either way you must attach the crashing document before any analysis could be made as to why its crashing.
Joost->Riad: Such errors are typical indicators for bad graphic drivers which have problems with their OpenGL implementation. These drivers often provide just a "gamers" subset of OpenGL but say that they support OpenGL completely... I would check out a new driver first and modify the OpenGL settings in /tools/options in the section OpenOffice/View afterwards. I would play around with "Optimized output" and "Use OpenGL". If you disable "Use OpenGL" then the software renderer is used. Otherwise the application would try to call the graphics driver to use hardware rendering. btw. which graphics card and graphics driver version do you use ? the colour resolution might be interesting as well
Maybe It was a bug from SO6 beta to OpenOffice. Let's see later.
close issue.
