No need to type in CAPS. On a mailing list this is considered shouting and many will ignore you. That said, are you aware that the download image is a compressed archive. You mention Microsoft but forgot to say which OS and it would have been nice to know which OOo release you downloaded so I will guess it is 1.1.5. Since Windows doesn't recognize the file, I will also guess that you do not have a zipfile utility installed. I recommend that you get 7zip for general use and use it to unpack the download image. While you are waiting for 7zip to download, you should check the integrity of the image using md5sum. It is likely you do not have this utility but http://download.openoffice.org/1.1.5/md5sums.html and http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/using_md5sums.html offer this tool. Copy it into C:\Windows then locate the download image and execute md5sum with the download image as target. Compare the output to what is listed at the first link above. If these match you have a good download and you can use 7zip to unpack it. Please read the SETUP_GUIDE.pdf either on-line at http://documentation.openoffice.org/setup_guide2/ or from your unpacked image before proceeding with installation. -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.
