I have windows XP and I downloaded the new open office 2.4. I had the old open office 2.0 and it wouldn't run it either. It is a spreadsheet done in excel. I would really love to be able to use it. I can make copies and do it manually, but it would be great to be able to use it as it was intended. Thanks again, Sara
