Please explain how to repair.
If you run the installation file for an application again, in most
cases it will detect that the product is already installed and offer
to repair that installation: to reset the files as they would have
been after the original installation using the same options.
Well, the user told that he has downloaded the latest version of
OpenOffice and said it is just rubbish.
Repairing a version that is just installed doesn't take away his
frustration
if your issue persists, you can uninstall and reinstall again.
How does that help?
Like repairing, reinstallation can correct problems if the installed
product files have been corrupted in some way.
Because he said that it changes completely his previous files it
sounds to me that he had a problem with file associations
and to my knowledge repairing or reinstalling OpenOffice doesn't help
there either.
As far as I'm aware the original poster didn't mention openGL.
All the more reason to make him or her aware of it, perhaps? (... if
it is relevant.)
I run Windows 10 but there is no option to activate previous
version in the Properties.
Oh, there is! It's on the Previous Versions tab - or can be accessed
directly via "Restore previous versions" in the context menu. You
will have enabled File History at Start | Settings | Update &
Security | Backup | Backup using File History, won't you?
So this is conditional and works only for Windows, unfortunately the
original poster (Oliver Lassalle) didn't mention any Operating System.
I wasn't answering the original enquirer: what made you think I was?
If I had been, I would have quoted his questions, but I quoted nothing
from his original message. As you can see from what I quoted, I was
commenting on your critique of a previous reply.
So basically you took my reply out of context I replied to the non
relevant suggestions of Zara.
The original poster (Oliver Lassalle) didn't have a problem other that
he was frustrated and reinstalling or repairing doesn't help.
You asked for an explanation of repairing; you asked how repairing or
reinstallation could help;
I didn't asked what a re-installation or repair does, I asked how it
will help the original posters frustration.
you asked about restoring previous versions of files in *your* Windows
10. I answered those questions.
Again, the option to restore previous version is only available as you
mentioned under the condition that you have set to Backup your files.
And by the way I didn't comment on the "God bless you" suggestion as I
doubt if that helps at all.
