Can you please tell us _exactly_ the name and size of the file you have 
downloaded to install OpenOffice 4.1; from which site did you download it (URL 
should be in download history).

With regard to your experience logging on to the User support forum, I am sure 
that when a Forum Administrator comes online he will look into this.

The behaviour of OpenOffice on your computer is not typical as over 100 million 
users can testify.  It may be that you now distrust it and would prefer nothing 
to do with it, in which case I suggest you look for other Office suites. These 
include (inter alia) LibreOffice (based largely on OO code), and Caligra. If 
you require simply a wordprocessor perhaps AbiWord might suit your needs.
