Well, I run that version under Vista without any problem.

Given your description, and assuming that the rest of the suite
functions properly for you, I'd guess it's a missing java configuration.

Start LibO - not Base, select
Tools>Option>Java
ensure that you have a java engine selected.

If there was not one selected, do so - close the options dialog and exit
the application - next startup you should be good to go.
