OpenOffice Does Not Start On Windows Vista

July 16th, 2008 Posted in Windows Help

Question: I’ve installed OpenOffice on Windows Vista Business and It installed ok and worked once. Now everytime I try to open the suite, it does not open. soffice.exe pops up for a split second on the processes list in the Task Manager, but then disappears and nothing happens. I tried opening a document with swriter.exe and that did not work either. I also tried directly opening the program but it did not work. Can anyone help? Thanks

Answer: Check your any antivirus or firewall that could prevent OOo from running.
