open office not opening
Hello,
I have downloaded Open to a new computer that will not open it. It says
there is a bad soffice?
Is there any way to get this up & running?
Thank you!!

I am unable to help but I have a suggestion - provide the system on the
new computer and whether you downloaded from Open Office's site
(http://www.openoffice.org/). This will give those who can help
information they need.

Not really an Apache OpenOffice issue, but since you are unfamiliar with
your new computer I will try and help you get started. Rather than bore
the more experienced subscribers to this list, I will contact you
off-list (direct email). It's late here and I need to get some sleep, so
don't expect to hear from me immediately.

Dave,
Thanks, I am in a new computer that is way unfamiliar to me. Reading
your comments below, it only allows me to log in one way. Last question
I will bother you with. Can I get to a tab that allows me to be
"standard", or the other way around? I just want to keep it as simple as
possible.
Thanks again for your help!!
Dino

OK! This is a different issue. What you are encountering is called
Windows UAC (User Access Control).
Are you running/logged-in as an "Administrator" with elevated
privileges, or as a "Standard" user with normal privileges? If you saved
the saved the document(s) while logged-in as an Administrator (eg. the
Administrator's "My Documents" folder) and try to open it/them when
logged-in as a Standard user you will see that Windows system message.
If you are not already, try logging in with an Administrator account and
save the document(s) to your Windows "Public" folder. From there any
user should be able to open and save the files. There are other
situations (eg trying to save documents opened directly from email
attachments to system privileged folders) when the "Requires Elevation"
message will be displayed.
Apache OpenOffice cannot and does not attempt to override Windows UAC.
For more information about Windows UAC look on the Microsoft website or
do an internet search.
Regards
Dave

Running Windows 7. It now opens, however I can't open saved documents.
When I do that, a box comes up with the following......
"Requested Operation Requires Elevation"
Thanks

Hi Dino,
It would help us answer your question if you could tell us which OS
(Operating System - eg. Linux, Mac, Solaris, Windows, etc.) and the
program version (eg. 4.01) you are using. Your email header suggests
your OS is a version of Windows, in which case I suggest the following:
Even if you still have the software installation program you originally
downloaded, download it again from http://www.openoffice.org/download.
It is always a good idea to check the downloaded file for download
errors by comparing the checksums as noted here:
http://www.openoffice.org/download/checksums.html
Run the installation program and you will be offered a few options. Take
the "Repair" option and when the reinstall/repair has finished the
program should work as expected.
Regards
Dave
