fuzzylizard Posted October 25, 2002 Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 Can we assume this is on a fairly up to date computer and not a 486 with 8 megs of ram?!??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaaz9 Posted October 25, 2002 Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 What is your hardware setup? OpenOffice is a big memory hogging app, and when used in conjuction with other huge, memory hogging apps, tends to slow down your system.

Guest glasknot Posted October 26, 2002 Report Share Posted October 26, 2002 my puter is: 800mhz athlon, 512mem, 32meg voodoo4 card, 20meg fujitsu drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiedra Posted October 26, 2002 Report Share Posted October 26, 2002 Well, OO takes a very long time to load up period. It's just resource hungery and big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maciek Posted October 31, 2002 Report Share Posted October 31, 2002 glasknot said it takes approximately 10 minutes to load. Considering the 800mhz athlon and 512mem, there's definitely something wrong going on. I have Duron 800Mhz and about 384mb ram, 7200rpm hdd - it takes about 1 minute to load. try loading it from console, check if there's any errors. also check the logs, if any, in your open office user directory.

spiedra Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 Somehow I doubt glasknot meant it literally when he said it takes OO 10 mins to open up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest seven212 Posted November 7, 2002 Report Share Posted November 7, 2002 Very strange that this program should take a minute to load, I mean Word takes a few seconds to load with my 700 in windows. Why would this program take so much longer than MS word? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qeldroma Posted November 7, 2002 Report Share Posted November 7, 2002 Very strange that this program should take a minute to load, I mean Word takes a few seconds to load with my 700 in windows. Why would this program take so much longer than MS word? Well, why do yu think, does windoz take so long for startup? It's the fact, that Microsoft loads ALL relevant Office libraries (.dll's) while starting up the system. Just a trick to offend the concurence..... And if you compare it with Word 95, then the right level would be Kwrite, because of the limited features. All in all there's one big reason for the time lack: OOffice starts partly wine and java to work correctly, i don't know the sharing in the active version, but they want to go for java all in all. While they are on the way, you get a "mixed" version, partly with windows-libraries, done via wine. If someone heard sthg. else, please tell me. I like to be on the actual level of time ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
