Hello James,
I should not say this James, but I am pleased to hear this has happened to
someone
else.
The same thing happened to me after I installed Apache OpenOffice 4.1.8 on
my
Windows 10 Asus computer. I could not open files as usual. I got a window
with
the option of "Read Only" or "Open as copy". The usual solutions to open
"Read
Only" were not available.
I uninstalled 4.1.8 and went back to 4.1.7 but the problem was still there.
I took my computer to the experienced computer technician whose business is
computers who looks after my computer. I think he did not recognise the
problem.
I was told that by trial and error he solved the problem saying it was the
Avast program
and another program that were the problem. I had been using Avast and the
other
program for many years on this and other computers.
My computer was returned with Windows Defender and my other favourite
program deleted.
I would be interested to hear if any other users have had this same problem
and
if it happens only to some users who have upgraded to 4.1.8 and if so how
the problrm
was solved.
Thank you.
Jean Lear
