    Hello,

    Try following may it work for you.

    Navigate to the directory beneath the user configuration directory. Normally this is C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\
    Rename Openoffice.org2 or whatever to another name such as Openoffice.org2.backup

    Let me know still if not works for you.

    Did follow exactly your steps and still getting that message, can you thing another solution.
    ps. if I open from console openoffice.org+new document it opens no problem
    but if I try open existing documents *.doc it shows the error message and creates that Recovery.xcu file again.
