You could run the 'repair installation' if you have not removed the unpacked 'OpenOffice.org installation files'. E.g. right-click at <openofficeorg24.msi> gives you the maintenance options of the installation wizard to modify or to repair the installed version of the program. > Anyhow, my system is Windows XP, Simpron 1.8 GHz, 1 Gig RAM, OO.o 2.4, > > Problem: On opening one specific document, I get an error saying "General > Error; General i/o error" cannot find file, > > C:\Documents and Settings\Owner.OWNER-2IEKCC09P\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\user\uno_packages\cache\uno_packages\E1D.tmp_\Pagination-1.3.1.oxt\Pagination/script.xlb > > I looked, sure enough the directory that was supposed to hold script.xlb was > empty. > > I got tired of this error message so I looked at the several of files of > this name, and copied one by this name to this directory.

In that case a 'repair installation' wouldn't change anything, because the failure concerned in the added extension <Pagination.oxt>, which is not part of the 'installation files'. In my opinion the easiest way to fix the problem would be: Going to Tools | Extension Manager | My extensions Selecting <Pagination-1.x.oxt> -> <Remove> After restarting OOo you could make again a clean installation of the extension: <My extensions> -> <Add>.
