Hi David, are you sure you tried renaming the user profile? This is very
likely to fix the issue you are experiencing. It's the first item in the
known issues:

Apache OpenOffice 3.4.0 and 3.4.1 manage the user profile differently
than previous versions. The old user profile is automatically converted
so that users can keep their extensions and settings. In a minority of
cases, especially with highly customized profiles (many extensions or
customizations) the conversion doesn't succeed. Common symptoms are:
frequent application crashes, problems with dictionaries or thesaurus,
OpenOffice starting and crashing after a few seconds. To solve this,
just reset/rename your user profile as explained in the official
OpenOffice forum.
