Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 73214
soffice.bin consuming 100% cpu
Last modified: 2007-01-07 19:31:40 UTC
If I have the quickstarter loaded, then after some time running (maybe 24hrs, but it seems randon) soffice.bin starts to consume 100% of cpu, and Task Manager shows it as using 47Mb of memory. This is without actually running any OO app, other than the quickstarter. I tried downgrading to 2.0.4, with which I had never seen this issue, but the problem didn't go away. I have not installed any other s/w recently, but AntiVir does do regular updates. If I don't load the quickstarter I don't see the problem, although I have not left an OO app running for long enough to be really sure about this point. If I exit the quickstarter, then kill soffice.bin in task manager, the computer returns to normal cpu usage. There are no error messages or crash reports generated.
adrianjball, I think your problem is caused by some corruption in user profile. I suggest renaming "D:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\user" to something else (with quickstarter closed). OO will create new user profile and you can leave QS running for a day or two. If your problem is resolved I suggest zipping renamed user profile and attaching it to your issue.
