Instead of removing the entire directory, try removing .openoffice.org2.0/.lock, which, judging from its name and contents, appears to be a lock file. > > My home dir is on a NFS share, could this be a problem? Yes, but probably not related to this problem. The potential problem is that some nfs installations do not lock files, or lock them incorrectly. If OOo (or any other app) uses file locks, it could be a problem. Fortunately this problem is rare and getting rarer. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
