[Solved] OpenOffice Writer crashing

Post by Davcared »

Open office 4.1.15 and Windows 11. Opened open office and got the recovery screen. Clicked on it to recover and now it crashes and stated everything was saved and next time I open open office it would bring it up. I tried to open openofiice click on the app icon on my windows 11 desktop and it brought me up to the recovery screen again, again click on "recovery", and again got the error message that it crashed and sent a report about the crash. What do I have to do to get to my saved file ?

Give LibreOffice a try, on a Windows 11 system you might find it just plain works better. There are several good reasons for making the switch anyway, some of which are mentioned here: [Tutorial] Considering a Switch from OpenOffice to LibreOffice? Some Useful Information
LibreOffice 25.8.4.2 (x64) installed to Windows 11 Pro. 25H2
Apache OpenOffice Portable 4.1.16 [Portable Apps]
For Java I use Adoptium Temurin JRE LTS Releases.

Try, when the recovery screen appears, click Cancel, then open your file in the normal manner.
Slackware 15 (current) 64 bit
Apache OpenOffice 4.1.16
LibreOffice 26.2.3.2; SlackBuild for 26.2.3 by Eric Hameleers
