Hi John:
No to all your questions. I didn't uninstall MSO yet because I can
still can read my old MSO files.I do have OOo1,14 and it appears
everything is running OK at this time. I still haven't figured out how
to get my old MSO files to read properly, I have one MSO file with 3
tables on one page and OOo puts two of the tables on a second page and
them screws up the height it the cells which make the table much
larger and caused them to be placed on the second page. The help files
say something about using the set-up program to modify MSO files but I
can't find anything about a set-up program

they flash on for a split second and then disappear. I have tried
to click on to the *.exe programs and the same thing happens. It
appears that all the MS programs seem to work. I am using a Compaq

That is kind of bizarre. I don't really think that OOo could have
caused this error.
However, if OOo is the only thing you installed or changed and then
this happened, who knows.
My first suggestion would be to uninstall OOo (restoring the system
checkpoint probably didn't do this) and then see if the problem
persists. If it does, I would download a registry checker or fixer
and make sure your registry is still good. Outside of that, I don't
know.
HTH,
We use very similar machines at the office and they all have
OpenOffice.org (1.1.4) installed. I don't think OOo is the
culprit.... but ... which version did you install? Did you uninstall
anything else? There's a know bug which occurs when you uninstall the
60 day demo of Microsoft Office. It causes Microsoft Works to stop
working. Did your antiirus download a new engine in the interim? Some
systems have had trouble with AVG 7. Is all the 'built-in' software
still running? My dad's system had so much factory-installed 'special
offers' software that the computer ran like a slug.

I think I replied to this elsewhere in this thread, but there is a
global setting (Don't recall just where now) that MSO doesn't have which
lets one set margins between text and cells. It's not the usual 'space
before' and 'space after' attached to a paragraph - it's a table
command. I didn't know about it and nearly went nuts trying to make a
table behave.
