OpenOffice was installed on a Win98SE machine but it will not run properly -
it doesn't open a new text document and start up the program. When I went to
Add/Remove to uninstall it so that I could try a fresh install - it doesn't
do anything, it wont uninstall. I looked it it's folder and there doesn't
seem to be an uninstaller.
Any help appreciated

Have you tried to first install it again in the same directory?

What error message do you get?
Try running it from a command line. The executable is called
soffice.exe. Do you get any error message?

How did you install it?
Depending on your type of install, you might have two OpenOffice
directories on your harddisk.

kind of sounds familiar
remember a problem with files missing at installation
should have been solved with openoffice 1.1
