I have Open Office 3.1 installed.

When I try to open my Open Office documents I get the following pop-up:

"The requested operation needs elevation"

I don't know what this means.

Please help me.

Thank you.

Hi Hazel

I have never seen this error message. I think, however we need a little more information.

What operating system are you using (Windows - XP, Vista or 7, Linux - which one, or Apple - which one)

Was your OpenOffice program downloaded from www.openoffice.org?

When did you last restart your system?

How did you attempt to open this file? Did you double-click the file you wanted to open in a file manager, or run the OOo program and the do >File >Open. Please report what you did before the error message appeared. Which ever option you tried (double click or file open) can you try the other and tell us of any other messages.

Thanks

Rob

Just a quick search with that error message:

From which I think this post is relevant:

"Requires Elevation" is a symptom of the increased security measures that have been implemented in Windows Vista. It's all part of the same concept that has you confirming that you are the administrator over and over again. In other words, "Requires Elevation" is a part of what's called "User Access Control" or UAC.
There are two or three approaches to dealing with the message.
The term "elevation" simply means that you need a "higher" level of access to the system than you currently have. The privileges associated with your current login need to be temporarily raised or "elevated" to a more privileged or powerful level. In practice, all this really means is that you need to be the administrator, or that you need to allow the program trying to run to elevate itself to administrative privileges by typing in the administrator password.
