Oh! you should see my happy dance!!!! Thank you, Thank you! I never in a gazillion years would have gone there.

I can't find a openoffice.log or ooffice.log anywhere. I've gone through all the *.log files I can find and can't see the log file.

Thanks for the quick response and pardon my lack of one..... I try to start using ooffice and just get the splash screen with the progress bar going 1/2 way then crash. I've looked at other ways to get it to start, but I'm lost.

Sorry, I'm so long re-reading the forum. I've tried reinstalling both from the Mandriva repository (even got an update), fully uninstalled and reinstalled OOo from OOo. Still same thing. I try launching from command line (ooffice) and get the 1/2 bar. I've looked all over for a log file, or a way to generate one and have not been able to find it. The funny thing is it runs fine in a Virtual Box running windows XP. Sure would like to get it native though.

I'm having a real problem with Open Office. When starting OO, the progress bar on the splash screen goes a little more than 1/2 way, then the splash goes away. A short time ago, I reinstalled 2010.1 and it worked.... once. Then it was right back to the problem. I've looked for .lock files, wiped out the .ooo3 directory. Re-installed OO and I'm stumped. Thanks for a hand.
