But, even though you did not explain to anyone (at least not in the
quoted material below) what operating system you use (OOo works on many)
if sounds -- due to the request for a CD that you saw -- like your
computer runs *Microsoft* Windows (probably XP). In which case you would
run into the same request for "the original CD" when you try to
uninstall other software too. Because the *Microsoft* Windows operating
system is asking you for the CD.
I desire to uninstall OpenOffice.org.2.2.
Right. Did you read the MS knowledge base article Howard pointed you to?
He volunteered his time to read your post and to point you directly to a
page with instructions to solve your situation.
Tell me how, Harold.
He already did. If you try what he posted and write back with specifics
as to why it did not work, maybe someone here can once again volunteer
their time to you. It might work best to get you an answer if you ask
for help from your listmates instead of issuing what, in an email,
sounds like a command: "Tell me how." Everyone here who answers a
question does so on a volunteer basis, and nobody here *owes* anybody an
answer.
Is your surname really "Fuchs?"
I'm not sure whether you realized it or how you intended it, but that
question, particularly on a public discussion list read by hundreds or
thousands of subscribers, sounds more than a bit rude. It seems you are
poking fun in a rather off-color, sideways kind of way at somebody's
surname. (And Howard's surname is hardly an uncommon one, even in a
rather non-diverse place like Iowa USA, where at least your ISP is
located if not you.) If you had a very innocent reason for asking that
question, you might want to post an explanation.

I installed Openoffice 2.2 by download. I now want to uninstall

directs me to a CD. I did not install with a CD. I installed by
download.
What gives?

Quit OpenOffice. Quit the Quickstarter. Then carefully read and
follow the instructions at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Then remove OpenOffice via Control Panel>Add/Remove. Do *not* try to
delete the software by hand.
Windows has got its knickers in a twist; happens a lot.
