[Solved] Recover documents

Post by essentuki »

All the time I open OpenOffice it goes through "recover documents"? It is unnecessary, it means I have to click to get my documents loaded .

Help. Can someone here help me to open documents WITHOUT the RECOVER process?

Do not be too hasty after closing a document before powering down the computer or closing the lid. Wait a few seconds for all disk activity to cease; if you are too hasty, you may kill the power before the internal write buffers in the disk drive have flushed to disk; this can cause the Recover message.

"Click Cancel at the Recover Prompt."

Thank you very much. I noted the warning that accompanies your post:

"Do not be too hasty after closing a document before powering down the computer or closing the lid. Wait a few seconds for all disk activity to cease; if you are too hasty, you may kill the power before the internal write buffers in the disk drive have flushed to disk; this can cause the Recover message."

Thanks very much, it is a reply to "Click Cancel at the Recover Prompt."? Noted!

It is advice to (perhaps) prevent frequent Recovery prompts. Believe it or not as you feel appropriate.
