Hi All, I'm using OpenOffice.org 2.4 and if I use the (Gnome menu) Applications / Office / OpenOffice.org (menu item) to launch OO then the OO main program will open to allow me to pick which part of it I want to use e.g. Database, Presentation, Spreadsheet or Word Processor etc ... it then crashes with a Document Recovery window, as follows: " OpenOffice 2.4 (window title) OpenOffice.org Document Recovery Due to an unexpected error, OpenOffice.org crashed. All the files you were working on will now be saved. The next time OpenOffice.org is launched, your files will be recovered automatically. The following files will be recovered: {no files listed} [ OK ] button. " OO (the main program) seem to crash like this regardless of what task I pick. Note also that chosing the individual programs in the OO suite does not result in a crash e.g. I can individually pick Database, Impress, Spreadsheet or Word Processor from the Applications / Office Menu and they work fine. I have tried reinstalling OO but the crashes of OO main program still occur. I'm using Ubuntu "Linux Mint" version. I can provide other specs of my system as requested. I'd appreciate suggestions of help. -- Fond Regards, Peter Eric (aka 'pew') WILLIAMS from Hobart, Tasmania, Australia -- phone (03) 6236-9675 My free website is: <a href="http://pewtas.googlepages.com">http://pewtas.googlepages.com</a>  (or) <a href="http://tinyurl.com/yuyejs">http://tinyurl.com/yuyejs</a> (please visit my free website and let me know what you think about it.)
