2. OOo does not install in such a way as to override previous versions. I've had as many as three versions on both
Windows and Linux---never anything like what you report.
3. Can't help you with the files, but once we learn how OOo got on your computer, there may be some clues there.......

Without my knowing consent, OO 2.0 installed itself on my computer, overriding OO 1.whatever-I-had. My computer started behaving very, very badly. After repeated, failed attempts to restore my XP SP2 machine to a workable, earlier state, I finally gave up and uninstalled OO 2.0 then downloaded and installed OO 1.4.1. Now NONE of my documents are "visible". When I attempt to open a document all I get is a blank page. The file listing indicates it's full o' bytes but nothing is displayed.
I find it hard to believe that OpenOrg would inflict upon me, without my explicit consent, a beta version of software that can do so much damage. I am a newbie to open source, have been using using Firefox and OO only a short time and have been singing their praises to anyone who'll listen but this OpenOffice nightmare leaves me stunned. This is not the friendly kind of foxy penguin love fest community experience I expected. PLEASE help me get my files back. And please don't install anything without my permission.
Thank you to anyone who can help.
