Microsoft quit shipping updates to WinXP over 6 months ago. The recent updates had to be for something else. -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Skip Sent: Friday, October 24, 2014 12:08 AM To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Is MS sabotaging Open Office now? All along I could open docx files using Open Office Writer, as my MS Word97 prog didn't recognize them... But I guess I made the damn fool mistake of downloading some recent MS WinXP updates w/o checking out each one individually to see what MS was up to? Because ever since that last WinXP update, Open Office crashes every time I try to open a docx file! Sent an error report to Open Office but have not heard anything back from them......
