OpenOffice creates a profile for each user with configurations and 
settings.  In order to preserve these settings across a repair, 
reinstallation, or upgrade, the profile is intentionally not affected 
by removing the product.

It's likely that your problem is in the profile.  If you delete that 
- or rename it, so that you can resurrect it if necessary - 
OpenOffice should create you a clean one next time you open 
it.  Quite where it is depends on your operating system, of course - 
but you have kept that a secret!  You appear to be using Windows 7.  Try this:
o Close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter.
o Navigate to C:\Users\<login-name>\AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice.org\3, 
where <login-name> is the name you log in with.  (Some of those 
folders are hidden by default.)
o Rename the "user" folder within it.
o Start OpenOffice to test.

I trust this helps.
