When i try to open OpenOffice word processor it just hang on the blue "splah screen"

I tried the repair function and allso removing/adding it back agian but still no luck.

Can someone please advise on this.

Thank you in advance for your time.

well what kind of box are you running? open-office is pretty demanding resource-wise

[dialtone]

I'm sorry, i forgot to mention that i worked perfect yesterday.

System :
AMD 2500
256 MB ram

Dont think there is a problem resource-wise?

[lakerdonald]

how fast is that processor? i forget? though it sounds like you have plenty of RAM

Firstly, thanks for the "pointer"

When i try to run cupsdconf get the following popup "Unable to retrieve configuration file from the CUPS server. You probably dont have the access permission to perform this operation"

I did try this as root.
