In order to answer your question we need more information. Such as: What operating system and version (eg. Windows XP, SuSE Linux 10.1, etc) are you using? From your email header I am guessing some flavour of Windows. What version of OOo (OpenOffice.org) did you try to install? The current release version is 2.0.4. When you say "I was no longer able to open any of my old files", how were you trying to open these files and what happened when you tried to open them? Did you get any error messages displayed on your computer screen? If so, what did they say? What type of files (eg. MS Word, MS Excel, etc. were you trying to open? How did you "delete" the program? Did you use and uninstall operation, or did you just wipe the program files off of your disk drive? With answers to these questions, we should be able to help you resolve your problem.
