Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 9044
crash on high display color/resolution
Last modified: 2003-10-06 08:59:38 UTC
PC: Asus P2B-D mainboard, Voodoo Banshee 16 MB video card, 512 MB RAM OS: MS Windows 2000 with or without any SP, MS IE 5.5 OpenOffice: 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 Every time the system starts/restarts, I have to change the display down to 256 colors AND 800x600 resolution, run OpenOffice once, then change the display back to higher color and resolution, otherwise the whole system will die/freeze when OpenOffice is about to display the tool bars. Someone told me to update DirectX, but it didn't help.
More info: My machine is Dual P-III 500. And OOo runs without problem in Red Hat 8.0.
Hoper, thank you for using and supporting OOo. A few things to consider: Try disabling the QuickStarter and see if this problem still exists. Tools->Options->OpenOffice.org->Memory is where the option is installed. If possible, consider upgrading video drivers to see if the problem still exists.
Sounds like a graphics driver bug to me, not an OpenOffice bug...
No reporter-activity for 9 months No votes No other one who confirmed the problem I think we should close that issue. If someone still sees the problem, the issue can be reopened If I will not see any further action as votes, attachments or confirmations, I will have to close this issue 2003-09-30 as WFM. Rainer
Please try using the latest OOo 1.1 Rc4, Your version already old enough, and many bug fixes since your version and 1.1 RC4. If the problem still happend in 1.1 RC4 please report back and Feel free to reopen it again. Long time no activity, closed
