Description kking1201 2014-03-26 11:14:02 UTC

I'm no tech, but have had continual issues with 3.6 since installed (professionally). I hardly use anything except Libre Writer, which freezes, crashes and numerous issues with features, I've updated a number of times, and went to site to update (my notice said 4.1.4, but as there was no option for this I selected 4.1.5. The site times out (error 504) before I can download anything, and keeps returning me to the 'donate' page.
I attempted to repair through my control panel program, which like everything in Libre Office takes forever. Even shutting the program down is next to impossible, as the screen drops slowly like a curtain and freezes anything else I may have open. I never have these problems except when I've been using Libre Office.
Automatic updates don't work and since I can't even update from your site, I guess I'm stuck with it. You have a lot of bugs, and I appreciate your efforts, so why not just come out with a simpler version for those who just like to write so we don't have such a CPU hog to deal with which even Task Manager can't close?
Thank you for your time.

Do you reproduce this with another computer?

It's quite weird you can't download LO from official website:
https://www.libreoffice.org/download
Except on LO, do you encounter other problems on your system?

Anyway, you should give a try to the raw method:
1) Download the full package (4.1.5 or 4.2.2)
2) Uninstall LibreOffice
3) Remove any LibreOffice/OpenOffice/Apache OpenOffice
4) Rename your LO directory profile (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile). You can remove it completely if you don't need to save some customisations.
5) Clean your Windows registry with a free tool (eg: ccleaner)
6) Install the LibreOffice package you would have downloaded.

Please re-try with LO 4.2.2.

WORKSFORME. I don't think a stripped down LO version will ever be made. LO works very fast in my experience. And dev team is very much at it's limits already. No chance of maintaining more overhead. Sorry.
