How come? My mail address (gilo...@gmail.com) should be somewhere, open or hidden, in the memory of an AOO users' mailing list. Daily I get almost a dozen mail copies from AOO users, and replies from AOO experts. Please help me to get unsubscribed! Sincerely.

Dear Amin, Thank you so much for your detailed instructions to try to resolve the malfunctioning of AOO version 4.1.7. Because of serious health problems, only today I was able to apply them on my computer. The first three steps seemed to progress correctly. However, I hesitated to apply the fourth step. The scan of the windows registry revealed *1785 problems, 22 of them unsafe to be deleted.* The list of problems is as follows, but those 22 are not specified ActiveX/Components 611 Software paths34 Application paths 174 File types 328 Firewall settings 12 User MRU lists 474 Uninstaller 103 Shared DLLs12 MUI cache34 Invalid context menu items3 Please instruct me on how to continue. Sincerely, Haim Giloh
