First, you should check the md5sum of your download:
http://download.openoffice.org/2.1.0/md5sums.html
If the download is good, try reinstalling with the repair option.
After that, I don't know. It's possible, I suppose, that replacing your
user settings folder would remove the problem. Try renaming the folder at
the end of this path:
c:\documents and settings\username\Application Data\ OpenOffice.org2\
Under Win 98 - C:\Windows\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\
You must exit all OOo processes first, including the Quick Starter. If that
does not work, you can restore your old settings folder by changing its name
back to the original.
