I am using Windows 8.1, and have dowbloaded Libre Office 4.2.4.2. I have installed a shortcut icon on my desktop, but LibreOffice will notopen when I click on that icon. Also, my document files will not open, and that is a real bummer when you can't open document files that you use on a daiy basis. I downloaded LibreOffice to use instead of having to pay Microsoft's exhorbitant price for Office. However, if I had the money to spend(which I don't) I know that I wouldn't have to wonder if Office would be able to work on my new laptop, or not. It just would. What is the fix for this problem...please? This is really unusual. Thanks, Bob Schaffer
try to uninstall and reinstall again. if issue persists try the portable release from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/winpenpack/files/X-LibreOffice/releases/
I have 4.2.4.2 installed on W8 and it works fine. Uninstall and reinstall should resolve. Also you can try resetting your profile: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile
I unistalled and then re-installed Libre Office yesterday, and even though I got some popup messages that were negative(can't remember just what they stated, but to the effect that I was not going to be able to access LibreOffice), Libre Office did open, so I pinned the icon to my lower task bar for easy access. Lo and behold, now this morning it won't open again. This has become a total time waster, and time is one thing none of us get back once it has been used. This is a real pain in the rear, to say the least. I have NEVER had a problem like this before, and I cannot seem to figure this one out. I accessed the link for my profile, but that is like my first day in my Latin class in high school.... totally foreign! Is this mainly a problem with Windows 8, and if so, why isn't there an easier solution to this problem? I have done my searches online, so I'm well aware that I am not the only one having this problem.
