Hi, You noted that this is a "fresh 98se install" which leads me to inquire: Have you recently reformatted your win system or done a system re-install? If this is the case, then any pre-installed software suite may have defaulted even if you did not choose it as such [a B.Gates' safeguard w/in windows I've learned from experience over the years]. If you have re-formatted/ re-installed your system recently, you may need to do a system-wide search for "ms" "microsoft" "word"... etc... so as to be certain to delete any windows left-overs from your system, taking them out of regedit, not just add/ remove programs. I've found that in system reformats [I run xp, so these are frequently needed!], my first post- install venture is to delete all the worthless pre-installs form my computer; Then, I do a system wide search for the programs deleted by program name and again, by company name [many have hang tags that remain in your computer even if never executing them. AOL is famous for this in pre-installed s/w packets.]/ Afterward, I dump my trash bin to ensure the junk is gone from my system I then start to "re-start" my system by adding in my dsl s/w [again]; doing my A/V & F/W updates for security sake; and pick/choosing my system updates. THEN I begin to add my personal s/w to a "clean" system. If this definitely isn't the problem, then the next best advice is to uninstall and reinstall OO. Windows is a strange animal, and often a s/w install takes 2-3 downs before it's a success. Good luck, louann From:"T. D.

After a seemingly successful installation (no error messages, folders, shortcuts, etc. in place as expected) of Open Office 1.1.4 in a fully updated Win 98SE (4.10.2222A) pc, I am unable to launch any Open Office application either from start>programs>openoffice.org 1.1.4>... or by attempting to open any file saved in any MSOffice file format. Open Office 1.1.4 is the only Office suite ever installed in a fresh Win98SE installation and is therefore the default application for all relevant file types.Thank you in advance for your help.
