O.K., try this again before I prematurely (and accidentally) send the message.

I run WinXP Pro/SP2. I've downloaded and installed OpenOffice 2.0 and it works great!

1. Disconnect from the Internet
2. Delete ALL of what you installed for OpenOffice 2.0 (obviously not what you downloaded.) this includes what's in your Application Data subdirectory.
3. Empty Trash Can and reboot.
4. Using the Windows Task Manager, shut down the TSR applications with your name, i.e. anti-virus, firewall, anti-spyware, Internet Protocol manager, etc. 5. Click Start/Run/OOo_2.0.0_Win32Intel_install.exe. (NOTE: OOo_2.0.0_Win32Intel_install.exe is a self extracting and self installing file. Just follow the prompts.
6. Reboot
7. During reboot, reconnect Internet.
8. The first time you execute OO, you'll get a "first time" dialog box.
Do not try to unpack OOo_2.0.0_Win32Intel_install.exe using WinZip, or whatever. The beta versions you had to unpack, then install. The rc versions, as well as the final version are self extracting and self installing. Just click Start/Run.

get open office 2.0 up and going?
I have Windows XP....  I have an icon for open office org, and when i click on 
it, get several folders for installer, open office org 1,2,3,4 and a setup 
icon, setup config settings.  When I try to open the installer for windows it 
says wrong OS version for application?

I would love to get using open office, but at this time still struggling?  Any 
help would be appreciated.

Sincerely,
Phil
