What happens when you do this?
Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > Java
If you have a JRE (Java Runtime Environment) installed, it will be listed
after a period of searching. If it is listed, make sure it is selected.
(The radio button in front of it will have black dot in it if it is
selected.)
If the Java on your system is Microsoft's version, it will not work
with OOo.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: make sure the JRE version is at least 1.5. If it
is not, download the latest version of JRE from www.java.com.
