        Some great help; thanks Cley. In fact there is an easier way to disable
GL without the UI or editing XML files. See:
        https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/OpenGL#Crash_on_program_start

        In particularly just merging the registry fragment would nail that for
you.

        Sorry for the issue. Please can you also file a bug with your hardware
information, ideally marking it as a blocker of this tracker bug:

        https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93529

        so we can a) ask you to re-test this when its fixed (I'm currently
working on a significant simplification of the GL code here).

        Also - it would be lovely to have the information on your hardware /
graphics drivers so we can black-list it if necessary (from the wiki
page above).

        Thanks !

                Michael.
