The current version no longer works with Windows 98: http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sys_reqs_30.html If i remember correctly the last version to work with windows 98 was the 2.x.x series with V2.4.3 being the last of these. http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sys_reqs_20.html To find a copy of the most recent version find a mirror close to you from the bottom of this web page: http://distribution.openoffice.org/mirrors/#mirrors Navigate to something like /ftp/pub/mirror/openoffice-archive/stable/ for the English US version. Otherwise to /ftp/pub/mirror/openoffice-archive/localised/ for your preferred language. Not all languages support all versions. If you cannot download yourself then take a flash stick to an Internet Cafe and ask to download it there. Make sure the flash stick comes with a windows 98 driver before purchase. I do not need to remind you that support for windows 98 has ended for many many projects. Increasingly you will already be finding web pages failing to work with 98. If i were you, I would get mediacom to buy you a newer box.
