I've used OO since 2007, writing several million words using it I've never lost a file even under Windows (when I used it). The few extra seconds will be much less than time needed to repair OO or to recreate a damaged file. Such orderly shut down is not a burden - you can gather your papers, tidy your desk while it takes place. My advice is that you try /File /Close from within OO, then /File /Exit to close down OO itself in each case wait the few seconds for the resulting disk activity to finish, then use the formal shutdown procedure of your computer, again waiting for disk activity to finish before powering down your computer. OO does much background housekeeping, so the file save may be slower than one expects for a flat file. Depending on the complexity of your file the write process may take one second or several seconds to complete. You should close your editing session by /File /Close from within OO then wait a few seconds for the resulting disk activity to cease - you'll see the hard disk light blink two or three seconds after you issue the above command. To appear to speed up their reactions, computers buffer data behind the scenes. Perhaps you are closing your editing sessions too hastily. It may be that Safe Mode in your case is clearing left-over components of OO. Normally if OO starts in Safe Mode this indicates there is some program on your computer which runs in Windows Normal Mode and which interferes with OO. I'm simply trying to use Writer now, and all I am getting is "Open Office is not responding". All I ever use are Writer and Calc for some really simple spreadsheets. I have NOT changed anything about this computer since the last time I used OO 3.1 no downloads, no upgrades, NOTHING. All it will let me do is close the program or wait for it to respond, which I did hopefully for a half-hour.

It will even open a document previously created in OO 3.1, and THEN just freeze, "not responding". The original problem still exists, in that AOO will open, then immediately go into "not responding".

#Openoffice for windows 10 install
Now, click INSTALL to begin the installation process and then NEXT two more times to get through the setup guide. After the file downloads on your computer, click to open it and the setup window will open on your screen.
#Openoffice for windows 10 full
So I Uninstalled BOTH that and 4.1.3 AGAIN with RevoUninstaller, cold booted, and reinstalled AOO 4.1.3 AGAIN. Choose your operating system, and then click DOWNLOAD FULL INSTALLATION. "Open Office Not Responding" AGAIN! So, I looked through the computer and found an old copy of Open Office 3.1 in a folder. SO, I did the drastic approach of FIRST, downloading RevoUninstaller, then uninstalling AOO 4.1.3 at the most aggressive setting, then cold booting, then reinstalling AOO 4.1.3 from the Apache website, then cold-booting again. OK, Folks - Safe Mode does not change the problem.
