Running libre office 5 under windows 7 continuely having lapses in program

running libre office 5 under windows 7 continuely having lapses in program
presently running version 5.063
was running 5.1.3
then tried beta 5.2
all with the same results
I type a few lines , then Libre OO jams
I wait 1-2 min and the program recovers

In several instances over the last week or two the program crashed i even lost data
often when it crashed I couldn’t even open up L OO but had to reinstall
I use OO as my main office suite and need it trustworthy. should I rever to version 4 until this stabilizes?
Thanx

I would start under options / memory by increasing the memory cache to at least 120MB, per object 15mb, number of objects 15.

Then go to options / view and uncheck OpenGL. I would start with hardware acceleration enabled, then try disabled if that doesn’t work. Do you have adequate RAM on the system?

Also disable OpenCL. I think this makes more trouble then OpenGL and was introduced in 5.0x.

I tried all of the above to no avail., I have had no crashes,. but the lapses are more than irritating, I cant work like this at all

I will uninstall and then revert to version 4.4.7,2 and see if that helps

update: i reverted to 4.4.7.2 , that didnt seem to help. then increased size of virtual memory in machine. So far so good. Thanx for you who had be look at memory issues

Increase Virtual Memory Size
