I have used Open Office for several years but when I tried to open it a few days ago, it would not open. When I click to open it, there is a little circle that goes around for about five seconds and then quits. Nothing happens.
Can anyone tell me what my problem might be?

Try this: Start TaskManager (ctrl shift Esc) and kill any soffice processes shown on TM's tabs. Note "soffice", with an initial "s".

Re: [Solved] Loss of OpenOffice
This may happen if the computer or OO crashes, or if the computer is closed down over-hastily after closing OpenOffice - it takes a few seconds longer than one thinks to write the housekeeping information.
