Thanks to all.
This is a leftover computer from a friend, with which I have been
experimenting. Just wondered how much of my Windows XP software would be
compatible with OpenOffice and/or Linux. Don't have time to pursue it
further, have no valid excuse for increasing the RAM, and I'm too chicken to
try (1) increasing virtual memory on that computer or (2) installing
OpenOffice on my "regular" computer, along with Microsoft Office 97.
Thanks anyway.
George

Thanks for the response.
1. OpenOffice.org never did work.
2. Writer doesn't work.
3. No problems with other applications. Probably because I just started
from scratch from this used computer (reformatted the hard disk,
installed
Windows 98 and Linux. Haven't actually used any of these much, except to
try them out.
4. RAM may be the problem. The computer has only 64 MB RAM. OpenOffice
may need more RAM, but it may not be worth the effort/cost to add RAM.
Thanks anyway.
It is almost certainly the amount of RAM on your system that is a problem.
However if you cannot (or do not want to) spend $20 to $30 to get more
RAM,
then try increasing the "virtual memory" in your system.
