So, I'm not the only one that got eaten by the java monster.  
Specifically I tried enabling accessibility too and the archives of this 
list have a few messages to that effect as well.  I think the proper 
term for that is vindication.

Hi :)
I think this is the way forwards.  We used to keep older versions of java back in the LO 3.3.x 
line because any version of java more recent than about 4 versions old seemed to break LO.  We 
stopped doing that because various users complained that older java meant more vulnerable and 
there were also some concerns about copyright.  If anyone is able to get the right version of 
6_31 to you then let us know but just don't tell us who.

Tom :)

Thank you very much for this, this has at least fixed it so L.O. will at least start up again so 
that is half the battle.  I am still going to have to install java 631 once I actually find it 
because L.O. definitely does not like this java 7 update.  If I try to enable accessibility it 
says that this JRE is defective.  Fortunately I may have the old installer laying around 
somewhere.

Thanks again.

Tom

Hi all.
Well the subject pretty much says it, I got a notification there was an update to Java, I 
believe it is java 7 update five.  Once I did the update my install
of Libre Office no longer works.  As soon as I try to start the program  I get the standard 
windows 7 message about a problem has caused libre office to stop working,  Windows will close
the program, blah blah blah.  I have tried repairing the install and  when that did not do 
anything I went so far as to remove the whole  install and re-
install Libre Office.  Still no joy.
I am not sure if this is an accessibility problem or not, I do know that the java update did 
totally screw my install of access bridge as well  and I
had to re-install that too.  This is the first time I?ve ever had a java update screw things up 
this way.
Needless to say I am not a happy camper, I depend on this program to do paperwork for work here 
at home.  Has anyone else had this happen with this java update?  I am
running the 32-bit version of windows 7.  I have posted this to the accessibility list too but 
am posting it here in case it is not related to the
accessibility settings and is a general problem.

One user on the accessibility list suggested that I try putting the java 631 version back on 
the system and see if that solves the problem.  I know the java folks don?t recommend you do 
things like this but I?m frankly willing to if it will get this fixed for now.  If anyone has 
any other ideas on how to fix this or if you need more info just let me know.
Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem here, running jre 7 on XP and installing the newest
LibreOffice.
The problem was fixed by removing javasettings_Windows_x86.xml (I actually
just renamed it to javasettings_Windows_x86.xm0) and then when I started
LibreOffice a new and correct version was created. The old xml file
contained info about the jre6, which was not there any longer.
Apparently LO 3.5.4.2 didn't detect the correct Java version when
upgrading from LO 3.4.xx.
That xml file was located inside \LibreOffice\3\user\config\ inside the
<user>\AppData folder
