Hi Thanks for taking the trouble to respond. If I had known OOo even existed let alone free then I would certainly have downloaded the free version. As it was I Googled excel because excel wouldn't open for me without my installation CD (long lost). It mentioned an alternative for $11.98 at Opal Office through www.officebestdeal.com <http://www.officebestdeal.com/> support at [EMAIL PROTECTED] so I will contact them as well. I am using IE to launch with google as my home site, then favorites but my problem remains with Hotmail, and Yahoo opening in the "classic" version and most services like expedia, mapquest completely inoperable. I will try to uninstall Java then reinstall, thanks.

What is it you're opening those web sites with? I've never seen OpenOffice do anything like that. If it is a Java issue, you can try deleting only Java to see what happens. To then reinstall Java, you'll have to go to www.java.com, to get the latest version. Since you bought OpenOffice from someone other than www.openoffice.org, it's entirely possible that something else was included, that's causing the problem. Do you have a link to where you bought it? -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org>
