Try resetting your user profile. Shutdown OpenOffice and then open any file folder. In the address bar near the top enter
%appdata%\openoffice\4
That should take you to a folder containing a folder named user. Rename that folder to user_old and then restart OpenOffice. You should get the registration screen. Does the spell check work now?
