Trouble after Apache OpenOffice 4.1.4 upgrade

Post by NanzOffice »

My Open Office was updated to the 4.1.4 update on Sunday October 22nd, 2017 by my maintenance/anti-malware program, and ever since my Open Office crashes quite often and then I can't access any of my files. I have to keep restarting my laptop to try to get the box up that says it will save my files and open them up, which takes quite a few times to get it to happen. How do I re-install this update to try to correct it?

You should start by renaming you OpenOffice User Profile.

As you are using Windows close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter. Open File
Explorer. Copy and paste %appdata%\OpenOffice\4 in the File Explorer (sometimes called Windows Explorer)
Address Bar and press Enter. Rename the "user" folder - "user.old" is a good choice. Start OpenOffice.
