Close these applications and click Retry to continue: Open Office 2.4 (Process Id: 3052) Windows Explorer (Id: 3728) As I have not got anything else at all running (and these items dont show as running in the Task Manager) I am stuck at this point!

Hi John, Well - I am not a Vista user and won't try to pretend I am. If this is an upgrade of OpenOffice.org then perhaps you have quickstarter running during the install of the new release. Also - I had once a similar experience using Firefox during an update of OpenOffice.org. In that case an ODF file was being displayed in my browser, which of course meant that parts of OpenOffice.org where in memory handling the display. I simply had to close the browser. Anyway - If you are still having problems may I suggest you come over to the web form ( see address below ) at that site the areas for handling installation and setup questions has been divided by OS (the only area of the support forum so arranged such, BTW) - there are a number of Vista users using the site that I am sure can give you better advice then I can.

I am a Vista users and have installed OOo 2.4.1 and had exactly the same responses as described. I stopped my quickstarter and that got rid of the Open Office entry and then I reran the install and ignored the Windows explorer message Thanks Rob www.robbev.com www.silkroadconsultants.com www.prayandwalk.com www.ghostwritersinternational.com
