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

Please help me.

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.
