Re: [libreoffice-users] Unable to start my newly installed LibreOffice v3.5.2 programs.

The recovery problem is not fixed.
I deleted the timothy/"app data"/"LO folder" and the went to the folder 
that held the "recent document" "links" that shows up in XP in the 
recent document list.

Then I stared LO and it did not give me the "recovery" option.

I had not used the laptop for a long time and the file was deleted when 
I deleted the folders where a friend placed all his files when he 
borrowed the laptop.  His 1 year old one died big time.  He used LO 
instead of MSO, as long as Impress would "play" the MSO presentations he 
had to study and show to groups at a local Food Bank.

Well, at least it is done.

I know that there are some XP systems that have trouble with LO.  I did 
a clean install of XP on a machine that LO crashed the first time I 
opened it.  But the reinstall/repair option fixed it.  Why this happens, 
I do not know.

Was there something about Java and LO having issues somewhere?  Could 
the newest Java engine be doing craze things?  Since the clean installs 
of XP would want to download the newest Java somewhere in the process 
before LO is installed.
