Trouble downloading Open Office
I'm having problems downloading Open Office to my desk top. When I click
on the download on the Open Office web site it loads to my download file.
But then when I click on that download to try to execute the file, nothing
happens. Can you help me with this problem?

Clicking on the downloaded file won't work. You'll need to either
double-click or Right-click and select Open.

Delete that copy and download it again. Wait until the download is
finished before attempting to execute it again.

If the downloaded file is corrupt (in any way) it may not install, hence my suggestion that it be verified for integrity before installation is attempted.
If downloaded files consistently do not install on your computer then one must look for other causes for this. A usual cause is that you (the current user) does not have sufficient administrative privileges. Another cause may be that the computer antivirus will not allow the installation.
Both of these problems can be resolved, but will usually require Administrator privileges to do so. In that case one needs to log on as Administrator, but to do this may require that you refer to the person who installed Windows on the computer, or the IT department.

I'm not technically proficient, and I'm not sure I understand the language
that you're using, but it's not a matter of verifying whether or not the
particular file downloaded to my PC is corrupted or not. It's a different
matter thus. I can download the Open Office suite from the website; the
problem is that once I download the file and subsequently try to execute it
to make the final install on my PC, nothing happens. This happens over and
over again, not with any one particular Open Office file.

You can verify that the downloaded file is as it left the OpenOffice code factory by the methods described in
http://www.openoffice.org/download/checksums.html
If your download doesn't pass, do not use it as it is either corrupt/contaminated/incomplete.
