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.

Can you start OO from the command line and see if any errors are reported to the console?

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.
