Hi :) I'm not sure why downloading doesn't work. It should work quite happily without making a donation. The already-installed version should also be working but what "should be" and "what is" are often completely different things.
Many of us remember the days when reinstalling used to be the best way "to get back to factory defaults" but things have changed quite a bit in order to cope with more frequent updates/upgrades/reinstalls and generally increase flexibility. It was always tiresome to try to tweak a fresh new install to behave the way the old faithful system worked and so a lot of us resented having to use a newer system despite it's advantages. To get around that problem many programs now keep the settings and configurations separately from the program files. So now when you install a new version of Chrome or Firefox or LibreOffice/OpenOffice it keeps behaving much the same as your previous version. The upshot of all this is that to "return to factory defaults" is actually MUCH easier these days. You don't need to reinstall or upgrade anything. Simply rename the "User Profile"; https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile This tends to 'magically' fix a huge variety of weird problems that suddenly start happening. Hopefully it might work for you. Please let us know how it goes Good luck and regards from Tom :) On 25 November 2015 at 17:15, ROGER SKED <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Roger Sked > > > >> >> Please can you help a 68 yo silver surfer? >> I have the use of Libre Office at work, so a new PC has had >> it loaded. >> It now will not open any "Libre" documents, write/calc >> anything. >> I did manage to load vers. 5, this has also dropped out. >> I have tried to re-install several times, twice donating via >> PayPal. >> It keeps saying "download was interrupted". >> I am desperate to work using Libre Office but confused by >> jargon/web-sites/ ets. >> >> Can you help please? >> >> Roger Sked >> > > -- > To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] > Problems? > http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ > Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette > List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ > All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
