Do any of the errors have a common thread; what errors are you getting?

The laptop is a Compaq Armada M700 and may be more than six years old. I had an earlier version of OO which didn't hang up and then bring in the recovery routine. I look for a common feature without success except that the file recovery mode usually appears when I am in Draw.
How the different business with the Applications &c menu being at the bottom of the screen came about I have no idea at all except I was in Draw doing nothing special. Robin
