Re: [libreoffice-users] Screen goes dark gray, Libreoffice stops

Hi :)
Open Lo and go to 

Tools - Options - Java

At the very top of the page is a tick-box or something that lets you not "use a java runtime 
environment".  One of the main missions of the devs has been to write-oput any dependance on Java.  
Some of the Extensions still need it and Base (if you use the embedded HSqlDb) but most of the rest 
is completely free of it now :)  

f you try to do soemthing that does need it then an error message pops-up and grumbles so you just 
go and switch it back on and then re-try whatever strange unusual thing you were doing that earned 
the grumble.  I am fairly sure you don't lose data but i would always try to keep a reasonably 
recent back-up jic of fire, famine or floods anyway.  

Regards from
Tom :)

I now have the monitor up in a corner I watch it as activity occurs in 
thunderbird.  I haven't tried it in LO yet.  I thought LO was written in 
Java, so turning it off I thought was not an option.
What do I loose when I turn it off, and how do I do that?
