Writer 3.5.0 regularly crashes when opening a template or a saved document. (Windows 7, 32 bit). Recovery doesn't always work, but also crashes repeatedly. Are others having this problem?

I had this kind of problems. For example, in addition to random (frequent) crashes, clicking on Tools > Macros > Run macro... would reliably crash LibreOffice, every time.

In my case, the problem was related to Java. Go to Tools > Options... > LibreOffice > Java and select the correct JRE (it has to be a 32 bit JRE6 or JRE7, even on a 64bit OS).

How did I found out?

Deleting %AppData%\LibreOffice did not solve the problem for me
Reinstalling LibreOffice 3.5 did not solve the problem
Uninstalling LibreOffice 3.5 and installing 3.4 did not solve the problem.
Uninstalling LibreOffice and installing OpenOffice 3.5 did not solve the problem
Uninstalling Java worked (Well, sort of. Of course I couldn't use macros, or any programs using Java)
Installing a 32 bit JRE7 did not solve the problem.
Installing a 64 bit JRE7 did not solve the problem.
Unchecking "Use a Java runtime environment" did not solve the problem (as long as I had a JRE installed, it would crash)
Selecting the correct JRE (32 bit JRE6 or 32 bit JRE7) worked

Here's my hunch: So far what I can tell is that when I updated Java, I had to uninstall the old versions. Now I am trying to find the path to the new version, and I do not know where to locate it. Does anyone know?

I think I have the answer: Go to tools--> options--> select java ---> select parameters--> Here's the path (on Vista) to enter: C:\Program Files\Java\jre7 -->click assign-->OK So far so good.

I run LibreOffice on two computers, and on one of them, I experience frequent crashes. I had problems opening spreadsheets based on a specific template, but this was fixed by deleting the user profile. However, no it crashes on a frequent basis using both calc and writer. Only use it for Base, while I tend to use OpenOffice for the other applications while I wait for updates. (On OpenOffice I experience frequent problems with OpenOffice Base, that was the main reason why I installed LibreOffice in the first place...)

The computer were LO crashes runs Windows XP, while the other one runs Windows 7. However, I use LO far more frequently on the XP computer (office) than on the Windows 7 (home computer).
