[Solved] Don't Reopen/Reopen window

Post by The Man of Bronze »

I have a window open that says, "The last time you opened OpenOffice.org, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again?" I can't get rid of it. I've clicked both "Don't Reopen" and "Reopen" and nothing happens. I can't shut down because it says that OpenOffice has interrupted the shutdown. I've done a forced shut down and as soon as I try to open OpenOffice the window comes back. With this window open I can't do anything except open already existing documents. I can't start any new ones. Any suggestions?

The instructions seem to work for everyone else. Perhaps try Q21/A21. Then Q01/A01. Then reboot. Then launch OpenOffice. The key is that ~/Library/Saved Application State/org.openoffice.script.savedState must be gone when OpenOffice starts. Or try to reproduce the problem on the Guest User account, Q28/A28. If you can't, see Q02/A02.
