Any clues? > > Thanks, > > Carey I tried several things including upgrading java to j2re-1.4.1. Nothing worked. Finally reinstalled RH 9 with OpenOffice. It worked! I then reinstalled StarOffice.

So, something in the new NVIDIA drivers breaks the StarOffice/OpenOffice programs. Guess I need to forward this to Nvidia.
