Today I went to open up a spread sheet that I have used many times (It is my budget sheet and I use it regulary to see how much money I have to play around with - if any), and it (Libre) wanted to update the program.
Anyway it was doing something which seemed to go on and on. Now, everytime I try to open it my computer freezes. I cannot even use my cursor or close it down except by the off button on the computer.
Has any one else experienced this? I think it is still trying to update as when I tried to open it before I got a blank box similar to the size of the updating window.
It has updated before but not caused this.

How can I stop the program from updating or should I if I can?

I have experienced this with other software on Windows. Sounds like a bad update. In these cases i have just uninstalled the program and reinstalled the latest version. Your budget sheet is probably saved within your docs folder and possibly will not be removed.

Thanks for the reply.
Uninstalled, reinstalled the latest stable Office. It still freezes my computer. I copied the file and even clicked on a blank file (new calc) Doesn't even open. All froze my computer even with the new install. I'll try the other Libre programs and see if they open. I'll edit the message if they do or not.
I can come online which means I have to open the Chrome program/browser. Gimp opens.

Edit:- First thing I tried was the Libre office, not a single program, that didn't open, and it froze my computer as well. It finally did open in Libre Office safe mode and finished it's updating as well. So I was able to open my spreadsheet from there.
