[Solved] Error msg opening .odp file(ren .lock file)

[beta1bob]

msg box:

Either another instance of OpenOffiec is accessing your personal settings or your
personal settings are locked.
Simultaneous access can lead to inconsistencies in your personal settings. Before
continuing, you should make sure user "closes OpenOffice on host". ...

1. I am the only owner/user
2. I was using Impress for several hours before I tried to open another file after closing the one that I was in.
3. This msg pops up if I try to open an existing file or try and start a new Impress file
4. I have rebooted the laptop and get the same results. Any OpenOffice program does not open, I get this msg.
