Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice Portable

I have seen it before, but it has been a few years ago that I have used 
Windows as my default OS.  Actually it was two laptops XP and Vista back 
then.  But I heard about the same issue and had it happen, or something 
like that, with me a few times on some of my larger files.  I was using 
broadband back then as well, but changed anti-virus a few times for my 
Windows systems since then.
