Portable Openoffice 3 Trojan Keylog-sters

Submitted by fishofchaos on December 19, 2008 - 1:17pm

Hi, I've been having problems with the new portable OO3. Whenever I try to run it, my "Spyware Doctor" software reports that OO3 is tying to install the Trojan: Keylog-sters. If I block this then OO3 says it has failed to install and won't run. If I allow it it does start but I'm obviously concerned. Previous versions worked fine.
Is this a false positive by SD or ...

Error messages launching OpenOffice.org

Submitted by JKerwin on December 18, 2008 - 4:23pm

Thanks for the new OO.o 3.0 offering. It's nice for PA to be in sync with the latest version. (I don't write this as a criticism; usually PA is so quick to get new versions out the door that I use it as my "alarm" to update software on my regular computers! I don't know how you do it.)

I'm getting two error messages when trying to launch OpenOffice.org 3.0:

1) "Error loading BASIC of document

Instructions for removing splash screen don't work

Submitted by xrvjorn on December 14, 2008 - 9:24am

OOo Writer takes less than 1 second to load and display a file on my computer, but I have to wait for the splash screen to disappear for about 5 seconds, so I tried to remove it by placing an OpenOfficeWriterPortable.ini file in the same directory as OpenOfficeWriterPortable.exe with this content:

[OpenOfficeWriterPortable]
DisableSplashScreen=true

However, I still get the five second splash screen. What have I missed?

OOo crashes when trying to save a query or table with existing name

Submitted by Parmenion on December 9, 2008 - 12:27pm

At first I'm using the german version off OOo.

Open the designview to build a new table or query.
After building this new new table or query OOo(german) suggests as table/query
name "Tabelle1"/"Abfrage1" even if there is a table/query with this name.
When trying to save with this existing table/query name OOo crashes.

I've verified this happens also in the english version. Just using the names
"Table1" and "Query1"

One strange thing to me is: OOo suggests twice the same name "Table1" and
"Query1" when saving.

Open Office Writer-Zotero-Firefox integration problems

Submitted by inlandsurfer1 on December 2, 2008 - 11:25am

I am having continuous problems with the portable open office writer and portable firefox using zotero (but damn I really like portable apps!). The zotero extension works fine on firefox portable, but with open office its a different story. I copied over the python files like it says on the previous forums, but I still kept getting these runtime errors and it wouldnt install. Finally I reverted back to version OOo portable 2.2.1 and it seems to load ok until the end. It had a similar error but it at least loads the add-on and is present when I restart open office.
