[Solved] OpenOffice does not start on windows vista

[syle102]

I've installed OpenOffice on Windows Vista Business and It installed ok and worked once. Now everytime I try to open the suite, it does not open. soffice.exe pops up for a split second on the processes list in the Task Manager, but then disappears and nothing happens. I tried opening a document with swriter.exe and that did not work either. I also tried directly opening the program but it did not work. Can anyone help? Thanks

Any antivirus or firewall that could prevent OOo from running?

Thanks I just found it. Stupid of me not to think of that first. I'd accidentally blocked soffice.bin on the COMODO Defense+ settings. Thanks.
