<snip> So IIUC you feel you are getting corrupt (bad) downloads? Two things: 1. Delete the bad ones from the desktop and try downloading from a different site. A download manager could help here. http://download.openoffice.org/index.html Download managers are half way down this page. 2. Check the md5sum of your downloaded file. http://download.openoffice.org/2.0.1/md5sums.html This checks if the download is good by doing magic math and outputing a checksum which should equal the one on the page. If your files are fine then it is installing you are having dificulty with. A setup guide will help. http://documentation.openoffice.org/setup_guide2/index.html If you have installed ok you may not have desktop icons but in the start menu under "(All) Programs" should be a new entry "Openoffice.org 2.0" with all the programs within. You are good to go. -- Michael Those that can, do; those that can't, teach. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
