RE: OpenOffice 4.1.1 Now Fails on Windows-7 32-bit

[Steve Hollingsworth <sh...@hotmail.com>]

Sorry for the typo on version.

I'm supposedly a better tech than that -- I've loaded OpenOffice probably a hundred times.

This time, nothing worked.  It was a fresh install of Windows-7.  Restarts didn't change the result.  The error message just said wouldn't run.

NOW ( 2:30 am) it DOES work.  I did delete the Files folder, and then deleted temps (via Ccleaner) and ran CHKDSK first.

Apologies,
. . . . . . . . . . Steve H.
