I will guess that you just bought a new computer. I am guessing this because it seems that you have a trial version of Microsoft Office that gives you a specified amount of uses before you have to register it with Microsoft. It is this Microsoft Trial that is opening and not OpenOffice.org. If you are clicking on a document file then, by default, you will open MS Office NOT OpenOffice.org. You will need to change your office file associations to point to OOo. I would also suggest that, since you have no desire to use MS Office, you uninstall it to prevent these pop up messages from opening. John
