Failed to launch openoffice writer

Hello Moster.

This appears to be a minor problem actually.  The icon for launching OpenOffice.org writer has gone missing.  It could have been accidentally deleted from the folder where it was originally stored.  How it was deleted is what you have to find out.

You could reinstall OpenOffice.org not just to get the icon back but to repair any other possible problems in OpenOffice.  Although it is only an icon that is missing, I don't think it is an isolated case of a file gone missing.  Other more important files might have been deleted along with that icon file which is why I think it would be better to just reinstall OpenOffice.

Hope this helps!
