Where did you install OOo (i.e., in what directory)?  Is that
directory on your path?

I've been running OOo 2.31 since it came out (was on 2.30 before
that), and never, ever saw this.  (It's worth the effort though - 2.31
is way better....)

Have you tried uninstalling the "standard" OOo release (2.0)?

Do you have launchers for any OOo programs, or are you just using the
standard menus?
