Guys help. I have done two downloads(on dialup yet.). I kept the last one. My problem is both times I downloaded openoffice, an installation icon appeared on my desktop but no run icon appeared on desktop or the bottom tooltray. What do I do???

What operating system are you using? What is the name on the "installation icon"?

The Setup -Application file is the .exe file which should install OOo. It sounds lilke you haven't changed the view options to show filename extensions.
