I tried downloading openoffice 2.3 from your website(all I really want is
Writer or something simliar,I have to write a business letter and my

I find I have aproximately 112 megabytes of disk space and of course I need 100
to fully download and use OppenOffice.Any suggestions(other than buying some
sort of external drive)?
All you can do is delete some obsolete files or programs, or add more storage.
If you're running a low-end machine and are really short of storage and ram,
you might want to look at AbiWord, which is full-featured word processor that
is quite a bit more lightweight than OpenOffice. http://www.abisource.com/
Hope this is the right forum for this issue.
It is.
A side benefit of running the flash drive version is that you can take
everything with you to other locations. Work, school, etc. I teach
part-time at a local college & do not run the same software they have at
the college. By running Portable Apps, www.portableapps.com, on a 2 gig
flash drive, 1 gig is more than enough, I can check my college email,
surf with my own favorites, bookmarks, available & create and run class
presentations - power point type - without having the typical problems
of my presentation not displaying properly on their machine. I don't
know where you are located but here in Southern California 2 gig flash
drives run about $18 without rebates & are probably less on the web.
With only 112 megs left you are seriously approaching problems with
windows running at all and should take steps to clean up temp files, old
unused apps, etc. to get more headroom on that drive, if it is C drive
we are speaking of.
