Step one: stop mucking around with Outlook Express and get a REAL mail

Dear support,
I am using OpenOffice 2.0, installed by a repair shop. Problem:
Whenever I receive a .pdf attachment [as to an Outlook Express
email], I click on 'open' & instead of a download, I get a screen of
MANY menu options, such as OpenOffice 1.0,& NONE of which is
OpenOffice 2.0, nor any obvious connection for .pdf. When I tried
downloading OpenOffice 2.3, the 'clock' indicated about 10 hours to
do! I cancelled...
Can you please help me?
Thank you, John C. Stevens

Download and install the *free* PDF reader from Adobe. I'm amazed it's
not already installed on your system and properly associated to .pdf
files. I've never come across a Windows system that didn't have Adobe
Acrobat Reader pre-installed.
If you want to install OpenOffice, which in any case is a good idea, and
the download will take too long you could pay a few dollars for a CD.
There's a list of suppliers linked to from the download page. Just check
the price before you buy; here be dragons. Note that any deal you do is
between you and the vendor. "We" are not involved. Or you can
frequently get OpenOffice on the CD/DVD that comes with your favourite
computer magazine.
