02:13:48 <pa_8828> My newly downloaded Open Office seems to be in a loop. 3 easy steps, but the 3rd--I chose register now and then finish and it acts like i clicked cancel. So, I'm not registered and can't use any of the open office apps.
02:15:18 <pa_8828> If I choose I don't want to register. The only two boxes for going forward are finish or cancel. the back button isn't what I need. Help
02:15:37 *** PlauSocks|AFK is now known as PlauSocks
02:17:02 <pa_8828> Help. Whenever I try any of the open office apps, The above scene is replayed and I never get to the place where I can use the app.
02:18:24 *** pa_8828 is now known as [DAB]
02:19:45 <[DAB]> Plau
02:19:54 <[DAB]> PlauSocks
02:20:01 <PlauSocks> uh
02:20:02 <PlauSocks> hi?
02:20:24 <[DAB]> Hi, Just seeing if I am being read and what to do next
02:20:28 <[DAB]> hi
02:20:32 <PlauSocks> you know you DONT have to register to use open office right?
02:21:10 <PlauSocks> if memory serves there is even an option to bypass registering when you are installing
02:21:13 <[DAB]> Yeah, I figured that when one of the options was I don't want to register. However, everytime I click on one of the OpenOffice apps-like writer, then it goes through the same loop
02:21:45 <[DAB]> I don't get to the place where I can actually use Writer
02:21:50 <PlauSocks> interesting... it shouldnt do that
02:22:04 <PlauSocks> you tried redownloading the installer?
02:22:08 <[DAB]> I didn't think so. It is acting like the click on finish is the same as cancel
02:22:28 <[DAB]> Yes. i uniinstalled and the reinstalled--same result though
02:22:51 <PlauSocks> no, did you RE-Download the installer, not just uninstall and reinstall
02:23:52 <[DAB]> hmm--I uninstalled, then went back to the Portable Apps page and clicked to install open office and it did.
02:24:51 <PlauSocks> unfortunately im not sure at all what is wrong... maybe ZachThibeau or Gizmokid2005 can help :/
02:25:02 <PlauSocks> ive never run into this issue before
02:25:12 <[DAB]> Should I type their name
02:25:41 <PlauSocks> i just did, so if they are here, they will respond
02:25:45 <[DAB]> Thanks
02:26:35 <[DAB]> If they are not here, but should I do so that I'm not disobeying the guidelines about waiting and not running off
02:27:25 <PlauSocks> well if they dont respond, you could always submit your issue to the forum
02:27:42 <PlauSocks> http://portableapps.com/forums
02:28:07 <[DAB]> I just realized that Gizmokid2005 is probably here, but perhaps busy with someone because his name is on the right side column
02:28:20 <[DAB]> So is Zachthibeau
02:29:07 <PlauSocks> wha?
02:29:30 <PlauSocks> as far as i know everyone's name is in the righthand column...
02:29:53 <[DAB]> Is my assumption right that they are in the chat room but busy since their names are on the right side column
02:30:07 <PlauSocks> probably
02:30:10 <[DAB]> Just as I see my DAB in the column on the right side
02:30:41 <[DAB]> Ok--then I will wait for 5 minutes or so, then try the away command and leave my email address.
02:30:48 <[DAB]> Thanks for trying to help me.
02:32:43 <PlauSocks> Not a problem :)
02:40:05 <[DAB]> When I close the chat, I don't know if the chat is saved or deleted but I can be reached at
02:40:13 <[DAB]> totherestoration@hotmail.com
02:59:08 <PlauSocks> [DAB], i suggest using LibreOffice
02:59:20 <PlauSocks> its basically identicle and its newer/updated
02:59:42 <PlauSocks> the latest edition of openoffice we have is from febuary 2010
02:59:51 <PlauSocks> and LibreOffice is included in the latest suite

18:25:51 <Simeon> hi all
18:27:46 <sar3th> hello Simeon
18:27:58 <Simeon> hi sar3th
18:30:22 <Simeon> Just in case anyone is here is interested or reading the logs : I REALLY like the new flash drive. Look sooooo slick. I really need to think about getting one for me for Christmas!
18:32:41 <sar3th> :)
18:33:18 <Simeon> lucky for me, the decreased shipping costs :)
18:33:55 <Simeon> so I can donate the rest - no need to pay 20 $ for shipping
18:34:31 <sar3th> i like it as well, but it's a bit too much for my budget
18:36:10 <Simeon> and you can get a flashdrive for ΒΌ or less of the cost. Besides, I already have 4 drives :)
18:36:53 <sar3th> but not usb 3
18:37:02 <sar3th> and not with the lifetime warranty
18:37:02 <Simeon> right.
18:40:10 <Simeon> Do you have a usb 3 port somewhere? I dont. But its rumored that its faster on USB2 too.
18:40:42 <sar3th> my mum has one :D
18:40:51 <sar3th> but at my machine, nope
18:41:32 <Simeon> at least you could try the blazing fastness there:-D
