Have you also installed JRE (Java Runtime Environment). It is
required for Base. If not, download it from www.java.com. Install it
using Administrator rights. Open OOo. Then use Tools > Options >

list it. When this is completed, close OOo. The next time you start
OOo, it will know where to find JRE when it needs it.
The JRE that Microsoft has is not upto date enough to run Base
which is based upon Java. There are some other JRE's in existence
that will work with Base, and perhaps someone else will mention the
one they use.
