    Problem installing open office
    « on: May 27, 2013, 07:12:25 PM »
    Greetings - Win 7 home premium 64 bit.  Just trying to install open office (downloading from Apache open office.org) as I have on other machines in the past.  After I save the file and try to install the program, I get an error window "windows cant open this file"  it is evidently a .part (partial) file.  Doing a web file association search reveals numerous frightening downloads that claim will solve this problem.  Whats up ?  Thx.

      I have done that also.
      Something new in  FF so that it doesn't make it clear the download is still in progress. Very frustrating. 8)
