Hello • Did you download from www.openoffice.org? • Maybe it's your firewall and/or antivirus playing games on the download. While it is better to download with firewall/antivirus active, you may install without these programs interfering. •• After download disconnect from internet / desactivate firewall and/or antivirus / install OpenOffice.org / re-activate firewall and/or antivirus / reconnect with internet • You can check if the download is OK with the md5sum (use link on download page to know how it works) HTH -- Guy using dutch OOo Aqua Beta 3.0.0 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and brazilian OOo Aqua Beta 3.0.0 on an Intel MacBook Pro Leopard -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
