I recently bought OOo and am not a technical person. I am pretty
pleased in general but since I installed OOo the format for, Hotmail,
and Yahoo mail pages have opened in a format that looks like some
underlying platform, which makes them virtually unreadable. I am also
unable to open any pages for mapquest, or any web page providing
directions. I suspect it is a java application. Can you help me please
otherwise I am going to have to uninstall OOo?
You mention you “bought” OOo.
OpenOffice.org is a “free” product available primarily from
http://www.openoffice.org/ . You can, of course, donate to the product.
But if you believe you “bought” it, you may have been scammed by a
unscrupulous dealer into buying something available for free.
(Note, selling OpenOffice.org is quite legal, and some decent people do
sell it on CD at a reasonable price either with extra utilities or as is
for those who have a slow internet connection and would rather have it
on CD without the hassle of downloading it.)
Your problem is not a usual one with standard OpenOffice.org, which is
probably why no-one has yet responded from this forum: they have never
encountered it.
OpenOffice is normally very well behaved and has no connection with your
mail client, unless you set one up, and then it only sends documents to
your email client as attachments and has the client mail them.
I do suggest uninstalling OpenOffice.org to be sure of this and then
trying to fix any problems you have with your email. Next try
downloading OpenOffice.org free from http://www.openoffice.org/ and
reinstalling it.
