Mine downloaded and ran - seemingly okay, but I haven't really put it to the test.

Nothing unusual about the download time, though I have only got one file.

OOo_3.3.0_Win_x86_langpack_en-GB.exe Not there. I don't think I was offered it at any stage. I'm in Texas at the moment - could it be I don't need it while in US?

Is there a chance I have the functionality already? Seems to have fonts and the like.

I elected to have it in D drive, which it did, creating two folders. Open Office, and OpenOffice.org 3 - Is this normal?


It is marked ORACLE. Was it always marked thus?

Oh, and another thing.
Task Manager is showing two Open Office files running all the time. One of them is quite big. soffice.bin 34.264k sofice.exe is 192k

I can delete these after start-up, (while in a housecleaning mode,) and the programs still run. (delete the sofice.bin, and the other one goes.)

That's a lot of stuff in the memory for seemingly nowt.

If I run the program it runs okay, but the files don't come back. Very odd.
