Re: [users] Help!

What happens if you click on Start > Run and enter soffice in the Run box?  Does OpenOffice start up?  If so, that indicates OpenOffice has been installed, but for some reason the icons weren't created.  If you get an error message, please let us know what it says. Please respond only to the mail list (users@openoffice.org) and not directly to me.

I downloaded and installed (I think) the software on my new laptop yesterday, and expected to see icons on my desktop---perhaps an Openoffice toolbar. There are 2 icons on the desktop....one for the installation program, and one that, when clicked, shows a list of files..... what am I missing, and what do I need to do to access the programs. After you download the installer file, you have to double click on it, to lauch the installation.  After completion, there should be an OpenOffice folder and icons in your Start menu. -- Check out AOL Money & Finance's list of the hottest products and top money wasters of 2007. --
