How could that happen? Last night I did a few restarts on the PC after installing, and OO would not start up. Then I just shut down the PC completely and went to bed - woke up this am, turned on PC and then tried starting once more (after replying to all the helpful advice here :)) and now all OO apps are working. Is there a difference between restarting PC and completely shutting down as far as what's considered a reboot? Isn't a "restart" same as a "reboot" in Linux? _________________________________________________________________ Need to know the score, the latest news, or you need your Hotmail®-get your "fix". http://www.msnmobilefix.com/Default.aspx
