Thanks in advance for your help.

Hard drive failed last week (Western Digital WD400), took in to have Windows 
2000 Pro re-installed along with new hard drive.

Had MS Office, but lost the replacement disks in a move. While looking at new 
version of Office came across OpenOffice and decided to give try.

Have downloaded the following:

Java Web Start
Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2
OpenOffice: file name,  j2re-1_4_2-windows-i586          (location put down 
US binaries)

Open Office icon on my desktop is the Microsoft flag. When I try to open, get 
different failures.  Have tried to open in Java Web Start, javaw, javaws.  

Have I downloaded the right Java software? Correct OpenOffice download?

For example I just tried to open in javaw, got the following message: Failed 
to load main class attribute from C:Documents and 
Settings\Administrator\Desktop\j2re-1_4_2-windows-i586.zip

Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated.  

Thanks again,
Rick Tobey
