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.
I am getting same problem .every time recovery option comes while opening document.I am using Windows XP ..Please help me …
Are you sure you have followed it perfectly?
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.
