Cris,
I do not understand why you are having problems. The file you downloaded
should be a windows .exe file. You download it and then click on the file to
run it. It then does its thing, there are really little you need to do, other
then agreeing to the license and accepting the defaults for locations and that
sort. It also is very easy to set your file associations back to any windows
programs you might have installed if you wish. Just right click on a file
created by OpenOffice.org and use the openwith... I wonder if you still have
not downloaded the right file. Go to www.openoffice.org, use the drop-down
boxes to select the version you want. It will ask what operating system you
are using and that type of thing. when the new page open read it carefully and
read all of it to help download the file. I have installed OpenOffice.org
several times had to deal with command prompts. And yes, c:\documents or cris
are not commands, but locations on the hard drive where files
are
stored. To see commands allowed in the command prompt, open the command
prompt and type help and then press the enter key. Do yo want me to send you,
off list the .exe file for OpenOffice.org?

well - I'm not having any luck with the installation. I put the file path in
as the instructions tell me to, into command prompt, and it tells me that
'c:\documents' or that 'cris' is not recognized as an internal or extrernal
command, operable program, or batch file.
I've never used command prompt - but I can't imagine I'm not doing it right.
thoughts? this is getting more frustrating by the moment!!
