problem with Open office

[moonlight429]

Well my Linux freaky pals, I am currently using Red Hat Linux 10 in my PC.Mainly I rely on open office to perform my professional jobs. But since two days, Open Office application is hanging my PC while opening and it is consuming tons of time . Under this circumstances, I want to get some useful insight from you all. Hoping for a prompt reply.

hi Moon, welcome to the forum. The best tool for this job is 'strace'. on a root console, find the pid of your openoffice application, then run 'strace -ff -p <pid>'. you should see the process looping or waiting on an operation, which may point you to the problem. paste the strace output if you are not sure.
