I hate Vista.  I had to reinstall 3.4.5 twice to get it working on my 
Vista Laptop.  Vista is a bad OS, compared to XP and Win7.  One thing 
you need to do is reboot between uninstall and the next install.  Also, 
I would make sure the "program data folder" for LO is removed after the 
uninstall.  There may be things that are left in that type of folder 
that could be the issue.  Also, make sure your downloaded version was 
completely downloaded.  Sometimes people have their downloads 
"unfinished" from one of our mirrors [which the download system choose 
for you].

For now, I would stick with 3.4.5.  If you can.

3.5.0 is the "cutting edge" version or some people call it "bleeding 
edge" when these type of errors happen.

To be honest, unless you need any feature that is new with 3.5.0, I 
would stick with 3.4.5 for a bit longer.  It is always nice to see what 
the newest version is all about, so to speak, but if you want to use LO 
without any issues, stick with the previous version when the newest one 
ends with ".0" or ".1".  These are not for the people who need it for 
day-to-day, business, or enterprise, applications.

I have been using LO since the first month it was out.  I am sticking 
with 3.4.5 till 3.5.x gets to ".1" or ".2", at least, since I use it for 
home-office work.
