typically the problem there is that there's some libeay32.dll or 
ssleay32.dll in C:/Windows/System or somewhere in $PATH and that gets 
loaded with higher priority than the LO's bundled DLLs in C:/Program 
Files/LibreOffice and breaks everything.

if you can figure out which application installed OpenSSL DLLs 
system-wide, please complain to them that they're breaking other apps.
