I have uninstalled OpenOffice and reinstalled. When I start any
OpenOffice program the result is the same.
I have attempted to modify and repair the installation but nothing has
changed.
Try telling OpenOffice "Never register". It's not compulsory to
register; OOo is completely free and comes with no consumer
protection. On the other hand, you'll get support from this
(volunteer) group among others whether you are registered or not.

There is the rub. You never get the chance. Once the "Register Now"
option is chosen. Each and everytime you start an OpenOffice
application it attempts to connect to the internet register now.
There is something written to the disk either as a file or a registry
entry that survives reboots, uninstalls and reinstalls. That
something is what I am looking for. Once this is removed then the
"Never Install" option can be chosen.
