re: Can't install Open Office Friday, October 5, 2007 at 9:37 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Joe Hepperle (73 messages posted) According to the OpenOffice web site, it does run on Windows98. See ... http://user-faq.openoffice.org/faq/ar01s02.html#id2812416 You may have a virus if you are getting Kernel error messages. Have you an antivirus program installed? AVG antivirus is a free, very good antivirus program available from http://www.grisoft.com if you need one. I hate to ever tell someone to reinstall Windows 98 but sometimes it is necessary. If the computer in question does not yet have important files on it, or if you can off-load them to a disk, or another partition, then reinstalling windows 98 may be the quickest way to get where you want to be. Also, OpenOffice requires JAVA (not the same thing as javascript) to be installed. JAVA is free from the SUN website if you need to download that. http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp Joe Hepperle Written in response to: Can't install Open Office (dark_lady01: Thursday, October 4, 2007 at 8:53 am) Responses to this message: re: Can't install Open Office (gewg_: Friday, October 5, 2007 at 12:45 pm) All messages in this thread [show all] Can't install Open Office (dark_lady01: Thu, Oct 4, 2007, 8:53 am) re: Can't install Open Office (gewg_: Thu, Oct 4, 2007, 12:23 pm) re: Can't install Open Office (Joe Hepperle: Fri, Oct 5, 2007, 9:37 am) re: Can't install Open Office (gewg_: Fri, Oct 5, 2007, 12:45 pm) re: Can't install Open Office (Joe Hepperle: Sat, Oct 6, 2007, 2:43 pm) re: Can't install Open Office (gewg_: Sat, Oct 6, 2007, 6:15 pm) re: Can't install Open Office (Joe Hepperle: Mon, Oct 8, 2007, 7:00 am) re: Can't install Open Office -- Broken kernel (gewg_: Mon, Oct 8, 2007, 10:22 am) re: Can't install Open Office -- Broken kernel (dark_lady01: Mon, Oct 8, 2007, 10:23 pm) re: Can't install Open Office -- Broken kernel (Ed: Sun, Oct 28, 2007, 2:55 pm) re: Can't install Open Office - up and running well now (Joe Hepperle: Sun, Oct 28, 2007, 11:45 pm) re: Can't install Open Office - up and running well now (Ed: Thu, Nov 1, 2007, 9:08 pm) re: Good Job Ed!
