Is there a local
Is there a local installation as well? Or has there been a previous installation?
no, never installed before.
no, never installed before.
I have similiar problems...
You are running 2.0.4, correct?
If you are, this situation is probably due to Java not being installed on the host machine. I had this problem with all the computers at a specific location before
I downloaded the trial version of OO.org Portable 2.2 from here: http://portableapps.com/node/6347
Java can be downloaded from here for free: http://www.java.com/
I have personally not had any problems with the "testing" version yet, and 2.2 has the option to throw the clone of a Java installation on the portable drive and run Java that way.
While I was trying to figure out how to have OO.org recgonize the "cloned install" (you just install Java locally, then follow the directions.... <_<), for some reason Java didn't load properly when I had OO.org refrence the local copy while its "clone" existed on the flash -- and my computer then did this exact same thing.
The solution was simply to refrence the USB copy of Java from within OO.org configuration. <_<

btw, thanks John for what is in my humble opinion a better option than MSFT in every possible way....

System Font
Click Tools - Options - OpenOffice.org - View and ensure that "Use system font for user interface" is checked off.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Thanks
Thanks a lot. It was a challenge to find the checkbox though
still no menu bar
Hi I have the exact same problem as Hexadecimator
except after I checked off the use system font for user interface box (and it was very hard to find)
I still could not see menus even after restart.
I'm using portable ooo 2.2.1
Windows XP sp2
I do have ooo 2.0 installed on local machine
Install to the root
Install to the root directory. example: C:\PortableApps\OpenOfficePortable
