Knoppix DVD 4.0: OpenOffice 2 won't load (crash)

[pgluth1]

Don't know if this will help or not, but when I exit the Knoppix 4 DVD, right before it exits the graphical interface and goes into the black terminal for shutoff, I get a few seconds of the blue OpenOffice 2.0 beta screen. This screen is not visible at any other time when I try to load OpenOffice and goes away on its own during the shutdown process.

thanks for any help.
