[Solved] Fatal error SEH Exception: Access Violation!

Post by Dubeornotdube »

Hello everyone!
I am having a lot of trouble building a log book with open office 4.1.14. Mainly, I write a couple of pages and it crashes telling me "some critical error and my work will be saved and recovered when I load back in". Only it is not saved the way I saved it and have to do more formatting. Now I'm getting this message: SEH Exception: Access Violation!. Does anyone know what's going on? Is it something I'm doing?

Have you tried resetting your user profile? To do that, close OpenOffice, open any folder and enter
%appdata%\openoffice\4
in the address bar. That should take you to a folder containing a folder named user. Rename that folder user_old. Restart OpenOffice and test if it is now stable.
