It sounds as if you are psychic. I did play with Open Office settings
and thought that I would try the QuickStarter and clicked the button.
(Not that I ever actually got round to trying it mark you). It must
have been about then when my unstoppable problem started. I have
unclicked the button and the system closed down normally. So it has
worked once. Of course it worked once before ...

Thanks Robin.
