Comment 21 for bug 229839

Hi Chris --

In Windows XP the problem is very similar: You don't get the extra
username/password dialog box like in Ubuntu, but what you see is the OO
Splashscreen -- and then after you wait a while, the program and file
both fail to open. And that's all -- no error messages come up. In
Windows there is a workaround: to "map a network drive." I haven't been
using Windows for a while now, so I'm not current on it now. Back when I
was using Windows, I tried to find and file bug reports but had no
success -- at the time I was having a lot of trouble with the OO
website, and pretty much gave up on it. Maybe it was just not compatible
with Firefox.

Kind Regards,

Scott

gnome-keyring

Grashdur,

There may be bugs in both OOo and gvfs, but there are definitely known
and easily reproduced bugs in gvfs that cause at least some of the
problems related to network saving in OOo.

What kind of problems have you seen with OOo on XP? And do you happen to
have any of the upstream bug numbers relating to those issues?

Thanks,

Chris
