Run automated system scans (healthscan and malware scan).Īs for recovering your previous work, see RoryOF's suggestions below! Check for physical defects (worn harddisk, badly seated RAM and expansion boards, pinched cables).
I experience crashes too, but rarely (maybe once or twice through the year). I am a fairly heavy user of the suite, on Linux, OS-X and Windows, on brand new computers as well as some 10+ years old. If that was true for the majority of users, OpenOffice would be dead and gone by now. Certainly, other users also report occasional, or even frequent, crashes.
To me, this is a symptom that something is wrong with your system. You said that OpenOffice occasionally crashes. Also, it is advisable to save to multiple containers if the content is of some value. This should have given you a clue that it is wise to save frequently. Might I suggest that you look for culpability closer to home? There are two particular reasons for this suggestion (specified below, with advice to help you reduce the risk in the future): Notes to developers should go to developer community, usually through the issue tracker.Īlso, your statement that "there is no excuse" implies that someone is to blame. Developers do not visit here to get ideas about what to do next. This forum consists of users mostly, i.e. I understand the aggravation, but for that you are barking up the wrong tree.
There is no excuse for this! If anybody can help, please let me know. OpenOffice is a fine program and has been available for many years. And sometimes this happens 2-3 times IN A ROW! A note to OpenOffice developers- FIX THE PROBLEM!!! I have reported this problem before and no one knew what to do. I am SICK AND TIRED of OpenOffice crashing for no apparent reason and having to stop and recover my work. I also tried Tools-Options-Paths-Backups AND Temporary files but found nada! I tried windows-R to open the Run app and entered %appdata%\OpenOffice\4\user\backup but I had already checked that folder so nada! I tried reading former posts in this forum but couldn't find anything that I hadn't tried or anything that was useful. But I think the program closed again and when I opened it again the file wasn't recovered and I had lost ALL OF MY WORK!! I searched and found about Tools-Options-Load/Save/General but the auto-recovery option was turned on already. At first, it said that the 2 files were not recoverable and then it said they were recovered. I need HELP!!! I spent hours working on a Writer doc and OpenOffice crashed, as it does occasionally, and the window for recovery came up.
