For years, OpenOffice was, I thought, the "canary in the coal mine" for
a needed restart of my computer. When OO files stopped opening I knew it
was time for a restart. Last year, due to a similar problem with Firefox
on a new computer, I learned that if I opened Task Manager, found
OpenOffice and saw several instances of OO listed, I could select one,
press the End Task button, and it and sometimes a couple more would
close. I continued until all OO files were closed. Then I could open the
needed OO files without restarting.
Last year I had a very similar problem with Firefox for 2 or 3 months
after getting the new computer. Then during a check, the problem was
suddenly gone and Firefox now works well. I wonder what causes this
problem of various instances of OO, why they "stick" in the Task Manager
until no more instances can be opened, and if there is something I can
do (or stop doing) to cure that "sticky" problem?
