I've been using LibreOffice for aboiut two years now, generally i like it very much and i don't think that i've learned half of what it can do. it has however always been incapable of holding much on the clipboard without crashing. a couple of days ago it just started crashing every couple of minutes, over and over again. so i went yesterday and downloaded another upgrade. after it installed, it would only open the Writer when i tried to open Calc by specific document shortcuts. when i tried to click on the programs own shortcut on the desktop, it would immediately say that LibreOffice has crashed. eventually i uninstalled everything and reinstalled 4.4 but then it would not install even though that it said that it did,  i checked via the control panel and there was nothing installed, also nothing appeared on the desktop. so now i have deleted everything and reinstalled the earlier version 4.2.8.2 but i have the same problem that as soon as i click on it, it says that it has crashed. i really need a solution as i have many thousands of hours of work tied up in Libre documents. i have yet to check on my desktop if it's still working, this is my laptop HP EliteBook running vista. any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. bless
