Sorry for the typo on version.
I'm supposedly a better tech than that -- I've loaded OpenOffice probably a
hundred times.
This time, nothing worked. It was a fresh install of Windows-7. Restarts
didn't change the result. The error message just said wouldn't run.
NOW ( 2:30 am) it DOES work. I did delete the Files folder, and then deleted
temps (via Ccleaner) and ran CHKDSK first.
Apologies,
