OO goes to sleep

Submitted by skipc portable on May 22, 2007 - 10:29pm

I've not found an answer to this over the last few versions. For as many versions as I've tried of OOP writer, they all seem to become unresponsive about every 10 minutes or so (not timed exactly, I'm too frustrated at the time). I don't have an internet connection that's open, and it doesn't look like it's waiting for that. It will just not respond for 2-3 minutes+, even on the simplest of docs. I have the backup set at 30 minutes and that didn't change it.

problem installing POO

Submitted by William Brown on May 2, 2007 - 5:29pm

When I try to install the download that I got from this site I get the following error message "Windows can not open this file. Windows needs to know what program created this file" I tried deleting the download and re-downloading it in case the download was corrupt. I downloaded to my U3 portable thumb drive and am trying to install from there. Any Ideas?

No Menu Bar

I downloaded OpenOffice.org Portable, and it works seamlessly in Windows XP. However, I ran it from my USB (Lexar Jumpdrive 2.0 Pro) on a Windows 98SE machine and the menu bar didn't appear. When I right clicked on the "Drawing" menu bar (none of the buttons appeared on that one), I clicked on Configure>Menu, but then Windows did that usual freezing up, and I had to end the program. I then copied it to the hard drive, but got the same results.
