Sometimes there are problems that creep in when you do such a big download. You can check if there is a problem by checking the md5sum. This downloading a very small program called md5sum.exe and checking the number that it comes up with against the number given on the openoffice page. If it is different then there was a problem with your download, and you will have to do it all again. You can get full instructions on this from here: http://download.openoffice.org/2.0.1/md5sums.html Alternatively, since you have a slow internet connection you may be better off to buy a CD, or find a friend who has broadband. -- God bless you, Keith Bates 4 Mooloobar St Narrabri NSW 2390 Phone: 02 67924890 Fax: 02 67925418 www.new-life.org.au If you don't have a reason to live JESUS IS THE ANSWER!
