[libreoffice-users] Re: crash within seconds of opening a doc.

Thanks Tom,

I uninstalled & reinstalled both OO & LO 1 at a time, without having 
both installed together. I downloaded each one again & kept at it. No 
joy. Fragmentation was not an issue.

However, ... I have now had OO 3.3.0 installed and working without 
lock-ups for about 4 days. It seems that disabling the auto-updating of 
extensions did the trick. When I reinstalled the auto-update feature, OO 
locked up again. De-installed, no lock-ups. I couldn't find how to do 
this (disable auto-updates) in the current LO install.

So, for the time being I am functional with OO. Thanks for your advice.

Burai
