Thanks for the reply. We have LibreOffice on a variety of machines, none are what I would call low spec machines. The machines that have been displaying the locking up error are reasonably high spec (high end i7 cpus, plenty of RAM mid-range graphics cards) so I don't think that the specs are an issue here. However I will try changing the memory settings and see if makes any difference. I will also try switching off Java, at least on my machine. I seem tor recall that the boss saying that there was a reason why he needed to have Java running; I just don't remember why just now. Thanks again, I will keep searching if these suggestions don't help. Cheers.
