It looks like one of the files in your profile is corrupt. Uninstalling 
and reinstalling keeps your existing profile, so that any user 
configuration is carried over to a new version, so won't fix that.

First thing I'd try is to close LibreOffice, rename just that one file, 
then start LibreOffice. It might create a default and start OK, or it 
might not. If that works, you can either try to copy anything from the 
original (renamed) file which you need, or just delete it.

If that doesn't work, close LibreOffice and rename the folder 
C:/Users/jishler/AppData/Roaming/LibreOffice/ (for example, to 
"LibreOffice-2015-01-04"). Then start LibreOffice; it should create a 
new "LibreOffice" folder with a default profile. Depending how much 
you've customised, you might want to try to copy some parts of the old 
profile across to the new (e.g. custom spell check dictionaries), but if 
you haven't customised much it's probably easier just to re-do any 
configuration you need via the options within LibreOffice.

Renaming rather than deleting these files/folders means you've still got 
a copy of the broken profile in case you need to recover anything from 
it. You can delete them if you're confident you don't need anything from 
them.

Mark.
