If you are suddenly unable to open emails or print, there must be some other problem with your computer. If this was something caused by installing OOo (OpenOffice.org) millions of other users would be reporting the problem. Your grievance seems to stem from you not reading the installation instructions, which are linked from the same page you used to access the download link. http://download.openoffice.org/common/instructions.html I would recommend that you calm your frustration, follow Rob's advice and if you are still experiencing problems, write back to this list and we will try to help resolve your issues.
