Then crashes with an access violation in soffice.exe at "0x00000000" Install was a 'typical' install and all was cool. Any ideas ? What next ... hmmm ..
Do you use a Matrox graphik device? If yes, please use the newest driver or turn down the hardware acceleration one step in the display settings. A known matrox driver problem
Hardware is ATI Rage Mobility on an IBM Thinkpad A22. Problem is now worse. Uninstall failed, removed Program files directory, but now I cant un-install nor will install work as it says its already installed. How to I remove completely to start again ? rgds .. Peter
Try cleaning your registry of any references to OpenOffice, then reinstalling -- and please, when you reinstall, try the latest version of OpenOffice (1.1beta as of this writing). There are a bunch of tutorials out there on cleaning the registry, but essentially you just run regedit, search for openoffice, and delete any key that matches. Be careful, as you can hurt your installation of windows if you delete the wrong thing.
Either a system problem, or a 1.0 glitch... we may never know. If it happens with 1.1beta, please file a new issue. Closing this issue due to old age.
I have exactly the same problem with 1.1.1 final. How can I find something about the problem? There is no error log. Can I turn on debugging or something like that?
