Guest Gary Waterbury Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 I downloaded Open Office 3 before and it didn't install with Windows ME. Their final version is out, but it's 127.98MB, so I'm wondering if anybody with Windows ME has been able to install and run it.
Guest Gary Waterbury Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Re: Open Office version 3.0.0 I just now downloaded Open Office 3 and it didn't install again. So that was a waste of time.

Guest Mike M Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Re: Open Office version 3.0.0 Gary, No surprises there then since the system requirements for Open Office 3 are a system running: Windows 2000 (Service Pack 2 or higher), Windows XP, Windows 2003 or Windows Vista See http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sys_reqs_30.html It looks as if you will just have to stick with Open Office 2. -- Mike Maltby mike.maltby@gmail.com Gary Waterbury <garyjwaterbury@hotmail.com> wrote: > I just now downloaded Open Office 3 and it didn't install again. > So that was a waste of time.
Guest Gary Waterbury Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Re: Open Office version 3.0.0 Thanks for the link showing the Windows requirements. I didn't know that. I downloaded from http://www.filehippo.com when I read "Requirements: Windows (All Versions)". I am using Open Office 2.4.1 and it works good.

Guest Mike M Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Re: Open Office version 3.0.0 Gary, Sorry not to have been able to post good news for you but at least you now know that failing to install Office 3 wasn't due to problems with your system but rather due to it not meeting the minimum system requirements, something sadly only too common with many recent software releases which are for XP or later. I am pleased to read that you have no problems running OO 2.4.1.
