[Dropped] Recovery window every time file is opened

Post by Padeen »

Each time I try to open an OOC file, either with the shortcut to all OO docs or double-clicking on an OO file already created and saved on my hard drive, the OpenOffice Document Recovery window opens. If I click on Start Recovery it tells me the document I'm trying to open (even though I don't want to open a previous file) does not exist. After I click through two or three different error messages, it opens the file I want. If I try to open an OO file from an already open OO file using the <Open File> menu selection, the doc I want opens without an error message.
I reinstalled the current version of Apache OpenOffice ( 4.1.13) and the problem wasn't solved.

What is the OOC file?
Do you mean a native OpenOffice Calc .ods file?
Can you upload one of them here?

To stop this message, when prompted for Recovery press Cancel and it will go away forever.

OOC = OpenOffice Calc

Cancel doesn't stop this from happening.

Please upload one of the problematic files here.

Try the LibreOffice. At least a portable version of it.

As a last try, you can reset your OpenOffice user profile.

But +1 for the switch to LO anyway.

Please add [Solved] at the beginning of the title in your first post (top of the topic) with the 🖉 button if your issue has been fixed.
