Hi Glenn, Few things might have happened. 1. The file was not downloaded completely. 2. The CD was not saved correctly on the CD.
You can do a few things: 1. Get the CD on the Computer, and look into the CD. 2. Open the Windows explorer (assuming you are on windows) and view the file size of the OpenOffice.org installer. 3. You will see the total file size, this should be: 99mb If the file is smaller, then the download was not finished and you burn an incomplete file. You will have to re-download it and also verify the installer at least run it after (even if your computer already have OpenOffice.org) to ensure it will run. The other option is that the CD was not saved correctly. This is common when the burner burn at a very high speed. This high speed makes older CD-ROMS to not be able to read the DATA. The advisable speed for machines that are old (before 2001) is 8x-12xspeed to burn. Please re-burn it, or test the CD on another machine. I hope this explanation will let you know what went wrong.

Hello I downloaded Openoffice to my computer for my daughter to use on her computer. I backed it up onto a CD and put the CD into her computer but we cannot use it. It seems it wont install. I am not very good with computers so if you could help I would appreciate it. Thanks --------------------------------- You snooze, you lose. Get messages ASAP with AutoCheck in the all-new Yahoo!
