Christine,

You didn't say what operating system you are on but this may help if it is Windows:

*****
When you installed 4.1.1, did you install for all users or just the current user? If you installed for just the current user, were you logged into an Admin account? If that is also a Yes answer, then Windows is looking for Admin access to the OO files. Uninstalling 4.1.1 and then re-installing for all users resolved this problem for me. No guarantees that it'll work for you also, but nothing to lose by trying (except a bit of time)
*****

I found that here: https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=73427

It may also be a file permission issue as in your present login you don't have read privileges to the files.

You will need to change those.

You're right though, an upgrade should not frighten users like that.

Hope this helps.

Patrick

Please help-. I am hysterical here.

I have just had the bright idea to upgrade my Open Office program. The upgrade 
from 3.3  to 4.1.1 went swimmingly except NOW I CANNOT OPEN ANY OF THE HUNDREDS 
OF DOCUMENTS ON MY SYSTEM. I REPRESENT 20 SPORTING ORGANIZATIONS AND I AM DEAD 
IN THE WATER. Can I please reinstall 3.3 ???

It never occurred to me that a program could be designed to do this.

Christine
