I Have OO 3.3 for a pc. Its been working fine until recently when i tried to open my documents.
A small version of the document can be seen in the bottom left corner of the screen but otherwise it wont open fully and a box comes up saying¨the requested operation requires elevation¨. Any solutions would be most appreciated.
Thanks[/b]

What is your OS and version of OOo/LO?
What screen?
Are you sure you have permission for this action? It sounds like you don't. Any recent changes to the system software?

Hi,, I cant answer your questions as i have really no clue when it comes to computers! All i know is that its OO 3.3 and my computer is an ´acer aspire one´ bought this year, if that helps??
I have been downloading films with torrent lately and often that shows up little boxes asking if it can make changes to the computer software. Where do i go to undo any change to the system software that may have happened?
Thanks

If you are so very computer illiterate, it's a good idea to ask a friend to check if there is anything wrong with the computer. You're probably on a Windows 7 computer - that throws that error message a lot. See http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=31935&hilit=requires+elevation and for more links http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/search.php?st=0&sk=t&sd=d&sr=topics&keywords=requires+elevation
