I have tried twice to download and install LibreOffice on my Win 7 desktop.

I download the installer as it says on their download page. Then I try to run it. After a few seconds it says to close all LibreOffice stuff. Since I have none click OK and it then exits saying that it was interrupted.

Yesterday I got it to install after several tries, but there are no icons for it and a search for Libre* turns up nothing on the disk. I am doing this from the Admin account, so there should be no privilege problems.

They do not seem to have a help desk.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks,

JRH

Ken,

I used a similar adapter cable to connect my HP LaserJet 6P (1994 vintage) to my Win 7 machine.

Only glitch that I ran into was that I needed to have the Printer Powered ON before booting or restarting
Win 7 in order for Plug and Play to work its magic.

HP laser printer drivers are some of the most common drivers out there, and most are included with all Windows OS. Other printers may be a problem.

Yes..............about 1/6th the price. I bot a replacement battery for my Droid on eBay about 4 months ago for $3.95 + free shipping. It has worked very well.

Yep............just like cell phones. They get you at the sp end. Printer manufacturers get you with the ink. I have only bot ink on eBay once, but it was a winner. 8 black, 4 yellow, 4 cian and 4 magenta for $23.00 + $4.95 shipping. I'd do it again in a heart beat.

I never buy imitation batteries for anything device, only OEM. Too many horror stories. Batteries leaking, starting on fire, exploding. You may have good luck with a real cheap one for years, but you just may be lucky. You get for what you pay:

from your link:

"* When you compromise on the cost, quality cannot be guaranteed. The longevity of a cheap battery is nearly half of that of a standard battery.
* Cheap cell phone batteries do not get charged properly, and hence occasionally show 'battery low'."

SO, having recently bot a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, I asked Verizon for an extended batt
They gave me a 2600, which did not give me an adequate amt of time. My previous phone was an Incredible with a 3200 off mkt batt, which never gave me any trouble...just that the screen was smaller than the Nexus

I went to a 3200 which seems to be good, reliable, holds huge charge and was $20 for the batt and the expanded back

I would not be concerned about performance, its the safety issue.


english.eastday.com 

THE Shanghai Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision yesterday shut down an operation selling fake cellphone batteries.

The business, based in Putuo District, had an online store named "Honest Communication" on Taobao.com, China's leading e-commerce platform, and enjoyed a good reputation. But officials found most of its batteries - bearing the brands Samsung, Sony Ericsson and Motorola - were counterfeits.

Honest Communication sold more than 2,500 batteries in the past month.

The bureau warned that some fake cellphone batteries could explode.


I use to have an import business selling auto parts, and tools, back in the 80's, imported from Taiwan, they were way cheaper, but the quality was not there and most they failed before they should have.

I guess I've been lucky, but I have noticed the phone gets pretty hot in some instances. I thought that was kind of too good to be true. I'm getting ready for a new phone anyway...........and am actually one of the few people left that is eligible for a $100. credit.
