What program are you using that works with OpenOffice3 but not 4? Mostly just curious about this one. When we went to version 4, there were changes to how extension must be constructed. Maybe the author of your program that integrates with 3.x is not aware of this change. This is what we have for uninstall instructions. https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/FAQ/Installation/How_do_I_uninstall_OpenOffice.org%3F However, there are some forum posts which indicate if quick starter is enabled, this could be causing odd "reinstall" behavior. https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=64514&p=286343&hilit=uninstall+4.0#p286343 Hope this helps. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MzK “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better.
