Hi :) Blimey!!!
I guess a question we should ask early on in the future, if people have trouble installing, is whether there has been trouble doing the same thing with other programs. Thanks for getting back to us with the answer!! It sounds like quite a strange set-up for a freshly bought machine. If it was bought in a shop is there any mileage in having a grumble at them? Maybe they don't realise what they are doing and a friendly grumble might help them avoid the problem for other people? Sometimes it's easier to get bits of hardware such as a newish mouse, usb-hub, simple things or software than compensation for your time. Good luck and congrats on finding that!! Also thanks for letting this list know :) Many regards from Tom :) >________________________________ > From: David Moeser <[email protected]> >To: [email protected]; [email protected] >Sent: Friday, 21 December 2012, 21:24 >Subject: [libreoffice-users] LO not starting after installation Fixed > > I tried several things including trying to install Java and visual c++. >This is a new computer with Windows 7 professional.
