Thanks to all who made suggestions about uninstalling Openoffice from my XP
computer. The solution was found here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301. I now have version Openoffice 2.2
running fine.

Hi,
You may have by now made too many changes, but have you tried a System
Restore?
If you are using Windows XP then a restore point may have been set when
you 'cleaned' your registry.
The program can be found in Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System
Tools -> System Restore
Try restoring to a date when everything was peachy. If it doesn't work
then you can reverse the process and you haven't lost anything.

For goodness sake!! I love Open Office! The whole project resonates
with things I stand for. However...
a.. I used a registry cleaner that mucked up my computer.
b.. since then each time I go to use Open Office it requires me to go
through a registration process.
c.. I am completely unable to uninstall Open Office so that it can be
re-installed.
d.. I have "registered" with Open Office and with "netbeans" in order
to report my difficulties but have got nowhere.
e.. Help!!

Now you know why that registry was a bad idea. You might want to try
Linux.
