Iibreoffice crashes windows 8

I’ve installed 3.6.1 several times and on start up it crashes. Am running Windows 8 preview OS. No problem running until recently. I have unistalled and installed several times and same problem. Any ideas how to fix?

I tried answer #1 and that did not work. :frowning: Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

If LibO crash occurs, then try to reset user profile as decribed here http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile
If Windows 8 crash occurs (but why there was “no problem running until recently”) then report a bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=LibreOffice with detailed description and screenshots (if available)

Changing the user profile file seems to have worked!

Changing the user profile seems to have worked! Thanks much y’all!

Outside chance it is the shlxthdl_x64.dll or shlxthdl.dll LibreOffice 3.6.1 shell extension causing the problem.

Try doing a custom installation and deselecting the Windows Explorer shell extension to see if that resolves.
