Who did you pay? What were you paying for? What was the user name for? What was the password for? ( We don't need your name, or password. What it is for, might indicate why you have it, and where it would be used.) By answering those questions, it _might_ be possible to point you to where your user name and password should work correctly. It _might_ also be possible to point you to who, and where to contact the people who can (if they so desire) give you your money back. [email protected] is a mailing list for users of Openoffice.org to voluntarily help each other with issues they encounter in using OOo. Anybody can subscribe to the list for gratis; Anybody can respond with, hopefully helpful/useful answers/responses to messages sent to the list; AFAIK, none of the list subscribers are paid to lurk/answer/respond to list messages. IOW, this is a strictly volunteer list. Any representation that this is a paid support list is a fraudulent representation. > All my downloads are useless, a) What makes your downloads "useless"? b) Did you obtain your copy of OOo from OpenOffice.org: If not: Enable Javascript Go to http://download.openoffice.org/index.html Click on "Download OpenOffice.org". The version of OOo that appears to be the closest match to the operating system, and language that you are currently using, will be downloaded. OOo is distributed gratis. There is an place that one can click on, to _voluntary_ contribute money to the project. This request if purely voluntary, and in no way affects your ability to obtain a copy of OOo. > Can i please get my money back ? Nobody on this list knows who you paid your money to. To get your money back, you will have to contact the organization that you paid. Depending upon how you paid, you _may be able_ to dispute the charge with the _bank_ that did the transaction. [email protected] is a mailing list of people that either need help, or like to provide help in using Openoffice.org. It has no connection to any organization that sells OOo. It assuredly is not a paid support list. If you paid for a copy of openoffice.org, and all you were given was a download link, what happened is technically, legal, but morally, unethical. If you were told you would be getting "paid support", and were provided with "[email protected]" as your paid support, you were swindled. Depending upon your legal jurisdiction, you may be able to pursue this through the equivalent of the "department of consumer affairs" and/or attorney general in your geographical area. jonathon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
